121. But Am I Just Deceiving Myself?

Do you ever feel like you're just kidding yourself about things? About how you're going to just get it together one day, or finally arrive in that smaller body you keep striving for? What is the difference between hope and self-deception? This episode talks about: Stef is just soooo self-aware Self deception might look like: “just one last time; I won’t binge tomorrow.” Does self awareness change the behavior? Deluding ourselves into thinking our “thin body” is just around the corner Updating old beliefs with new goals or values Splitting and “parts” (IFS theory) Not looking in the mirror – are we lying to ourselves about what we look like? So what do we do? Do we deceive ourselves into believing that we will become something other than ourselves?
