The Beck Diet Solution

I started this today. OK so technically it should've been yesterday but there you go - life's like that!!

One of the first exercises I had to do was to list the reasons I want to lose weight and post them in visible places where I can access them. I've three paper copies but I figured this is as good a place as any. So here you go :)

* I’ll look better and more attractive


* I’ll be able to wear a smaller clothes size

* I’ll fit into more fashionable clothing

* I’ll be able to buy some fancy new underwear

* I’ll feel happier when I look in the mirror

* I’ll enjoy trying on clothes

* I’ll feel better in swimming togs

* I’ll feel better physically

* I’ll have more energy

* I’ll like myself better

* I’ll feel as if I’ve accomplished something important

* I’ll be less self-critical

* My family won’t remark about my weight or my eating

* I’ll be more comfortable eating in front of others

* I’ll be healthier

* I’ll be more comfortable in my own skin

* People won’t pigeon hole me as the ‘fat chick’

* I’ll have a more balanced approach to life

 
So my next step for today is to pick two diets that are sensible and nutritious....I've chosen wlr and Dr D'Adamo's Blood Type diet (if you google it it comes up with lots of info on it). For my back up I've got Paul McKenna's I Can Make You Thin. (Again google it :))

I think the combination of wlr and the blood type diet will work well as neither of them are restrictive or threatening.........

Next step for tomorrow is to eat sitting down - something I do a lot anyway, but I think I need to make it official :)
