Diet culture has done us no favors. Because honestly, who gets excited about obsessing over every calorie and restricting entire food groups to lose weight? It’s no wonder we develop patterns of procrastination. 

How many times have you said, “Diet starts Monday!” and that particular Monday never actually arrives…

Or that you just need to do a little bit more research before you’ll feel ready. You’ll lose weight right after reading a few more articles or books or creating a huge pros and cons list… 

Or you save all your food and body goals for a different season of life: right after tax season, right after kids go back to school, right after the holidays…

If you connect with all that (and I’m raising MY hand over here), you’re going to love today’s guest, Priyanka Venugopal. She’s a board certified OB GYN physician turned stress and fat loss coach for type-A working moms. I’m SO excited to welcome her back to the pod to talk about how procrastination affects your weight loss goals.

Spoiler: it’s a BIG obstacle to losing weight.

  • It’s not your fault that it feels so hard to lose weight for the last time

  • How procrastination is actually perfectionism in disguise
