BDS - Day 1
I took Franma's advice, and bought the Beck Diet Solution. Today is Day 1.
Now, I'm continuing to do JC but I know I am going to need something to CHANGE THE WAY I THINK ABOUT FOOD, (completely, totally, and wholly) and take me through the rest of my life, and BDS seems to be able to do this. So, taken from here (and the book) http://www.peertrainer.com/diet/beck_diet_solution.htm
here is Day 1:
Create Your Advantages Response Card
A "Response Card" is an index card or similar sheet that is convenient for you to carry with you or otherwise keep handy. Today's assignment is to write down all the reasons you want to lose weight, and rate how important those reasons are to you (very important / important / somewhat important). Then you must read this card at least twice daily, plus whenever you feeling like giving into cravings, temptations, or sabotaging thoughts.
You need to select two times each day when you will read the card, and set up a system to remind yourself to read the card.
Reasons I want to lose weight (in order of importance):
1. I want to be in the best shape of my life by the time I'm 40. (i'm currently 38)
2. I want to be able to tie my own shoes (and all other self care issues, myself) when I'm 75.
3. I want to live to be at least 75.
4. I want to be FIT for (the rest of my) LIFE. (double meaning intended)
5. I want to FEEL good, and know I LOOK even better.
6. I want to have sex again! (ffs, i haven't had sex in... well, never mind!)
7. I don't want to have any more back pain/troubles/blown discs.
8. I want to be able to WALK for more then 10 minutes without the "tin man" gate I had developed over the last year. (mind you, i'm THIRTY eight!)
9. As suggested, shopping will be more fun?!?! I hate to shop. :( Ok, wait, I got it! :) Fitting into "normal" clothes will be more fun! (and look better too)
10. Feel free to suggest ideas! :P Perhaps I'll update some more by the end of the day.
