A procrastinatory eater

I'm procrastinating right now, so I figure I might as well do something a little constructive with that time and write in my blog. Hopefully, after writing this, my damn mind will focus on math, and study.

Before this, I was procrastinating by reading up on any new legend of korra news on the avatar subreddit.
(And as I go the the tab to get the link for you guys, I had to fight the urge to click new and read any new posts. I did succeed though, however. )

Anyway, as far as the title. It is based on this observation. I am here, sitting in the De Anza computer center, with my book right next to me, and I am trying to make myself work. As I sit still, fighting with my own mind, I notice that I have the urge to go to get some food. "I Just ate", I think to myself. And I realize that the non-logical side of my brain, in a genius effort to get to keep procrastinating, caused me to be hungry. I then look back, and realize that it has done this *alot* recently. So, while I don't eat while I'm sad, and I'm happy about that, it seems that I do eat whenever I have something big to do that I am procrastinating on.

"Oh, James, that is just eating from stress" (Lets assume you tell me this)

No, it's not.

There are many more stressful situations, such as during a test, or or not being able to figure out some problem, or meeting some new people, or waiting for an upcoming event. I *never* feel unnaturally hungry in those situations, it is only when I am specifically trying to avoid doing something.

So there you go, a procrastinatory eater.

I'll leave you guys with this quote,

"procrastination is sort of like the unfortunate offspring of a situation where both low self-esteem and striving for perfection exist together" [1]

So, there it is, my post. I suppose I feel a bit better now,

I think I'll get a bite to eat.
