Procrastinating, Stressing, Eating is for the thinking person, usually a woman, who is busy, probably cares for others (or has in the past), and probably also has paid employment. The demands on her time, and also on her mental bandwidth, are constant. She recognises her own health is important, that change is necessary (soon), but while it is important, it is not essential right now. So, once again, change is delayed. This book looks at why we don't take action to lose weight and adopt healthy lifestyle behaviours NOW. It addresses the fundamental question: Why do we procrastinate over this?…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Procrastinating, Stressing, Eating is for the thinking person, usually a woman, who is busy, probably cares for others (or has in the past), and probably also has paid employment. The demands on her time, and also on her mental bandwidth, are constant. She recognises her own health is important, that change is necessary (soon), but while it is important, it is not essential right now. So, once again, change is delayed. This book looks at why we don't take action to lose weight and adopt healthy lifestyle behaviours NOW. It addresses the fundamental question: Why do we procrastinate over this? Probably not a lack of knowledge or motivation, but rather about overload, habit, stress and scarcity. Drawing on the disciplines of philosophy, psychology and economics, particularly behavioural economics, to gain understanding of procrastination, this book aims to gather and condense the most relevant information from the literature to support direct strategies for change. Many competing demands may lead to willpower being progressively depleted. Procrastinating, Stressing, Eating is written for the individual, and guides reflection around individual causes of the current situation, and discusses required skills to change the status quo. Also, strategies are suggested for the individual to lead to success in overcoming procrastination around weight loss. Importantly, joy is front and centre of any strategy. Guy Exton's cartoons remind us to see the humour, while Catherine Lockley's recipes gently encourage us back to the kitchen - but this time, for fun.

Autorenporträt
Dianne Wintle is an Accredited Practising Dietitian with a Master of Health Science (Hons) awarded for her research centred around procrastination, stress and obesity in nurses. Dianne has worked as a dietitian in private practice, in community health, in clinical dietetics and in Aboriginal health. She also lectured in Nutrition and Dietetics at Charles Sturt University from 2008 to 2016. Coming to dietetics later in life, after a varied career, allowed for a different perspective. While still studying it was obvious to her templates are of little use to the individual trying to lose weight. Fat people are not stupid! The issues were clear to Dianne that education would do little to help the situation. Lack of knowledge was not the main issue. Her studies fell short, but her research made matters clearer. Having seen many people in private practice who were procrastinating over weight loss, Dianne had the anecdotal evidence, she searched widely across disciplines for commentary and research, and had wide response to her own research. She adds to this the 'lived experience' of being overweight much of her adult life. This led to Procrastinating, Stressing, Eating. On a personal level Dianne is married to Adrian, and has two children, Edwina and Reginald. She currently lives in Wagga Wagga, NSW. Passions include family, food, reading, writing, quilting, embroidery and swimming (the last three no competence, only joy).
