I’m borrowing that one right now!

Granted, I COULD HAVE ordered it from Amazon, but I really stink at delayed gratification and since I couldn’t start with the rest of the class, I kept putting it off. Thank you for detailing the process so far. It makes me feel good that I would easily accomplish days 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. Step 1 would take some reflection, but could be done fairly easily. Step 6, much harder. Not so good with the social skills and no known potential partners IRL. Anyone can change, though, right? Keep us posted! Know that a lot of us are learning through your experiences!

It seems like a lot of internet people are reading this book right now and I’m mighty tempted too…and I especially love the idea of reinforcing it with email reminders and whatnot. That’s exactly how I use my google calendar now and this would be a great expansion!

1. I ate junk when I was unhappy and it made me more unhappy. My life situation hasn’t changed in the last 2 weeks, but my ability to cope with the stupidity has.
2. I eat more junk when I don’t have better options available. At home, I’ve streamlined my eating habits, but if I’m at a restaurant, away from my kitchen, I balk at the cost of eating right.
3. frozen vegetables rock; I take some out in the morning and they’ll defrost by lunch. ditto with fish, chicken. smoked salmon is pricy, but still cheaper than eating out.
4. if I eat enough fruits, vegetables, protein and I exercise, I’m really not hungry for more.
5. a lot of my progress seems to be replacing my favorite carb-heavy recipes with either veggies or protein: pizza is pizza on eggplant slices or chicken. salt and vinegar chips can be translated into pickles or vinegared carrots (matchsticks). ham and cheese is pretty good as a lettuce wrap. right now some of the summer-type fresh vegetables are more effective as soups.
6. alcohol bloats me up and makes me feel sick. No more.

I have been struggling for the last week or so. I have the book and the workbook and think it may be time to seriously work the book. I have tried twice and got through the first two weeks – I blow it at the food journal stage. Good luck with this – I think it is a really good program.

I am anxious to get started. Having a knee replacement next week should also help me control my eating. I will be at DH’s mercy to eat!

Cognitive behavioral therapy has completely changed my life where depression was concerned, so I love the idea of taking these principles and applying them to dieting.
Now, off to order the book for myself!

There is another group of bloggers doing a group get together to share their weeks and check-ins. Changing your mindset (Cognitive therapy) I believe is the key to changing anything that is such a huge habit. Group’s and sharing is another part that helps with the Cognitive process. I wish you all the best!
