Day 35 - Beck Diet Solution, Get Ready To Weigh In

Tomorrow comes weigh-in day again on the BDS schedule. Whether it’s tomorrow for you as well or some other day, if you’ve been following the principles learned this far chances are good you should see a lower weight the next time you step on the scale. Just remember 1) expect to see +- .5-2 lbs from what you weighed a week ago, 2) any downward trend is good and 3) every half pound lost is cause for celebration.

You might still get frustrated and disappointed that you don’t yet see a weight that you were hoping to. Focus on the good things – how many things you deserve credit for, all the ways you’ve been following the steps of this program, how you weigh less now than when you started, how you’ve stuck with the training despite the obstacles of life events, etc. The more realistic your expectations are regarding weight loss, the easier sticking to your plan will be.

An enormous granite-walled mansion, there were four floors of enchanting adventure for us. The first floor held a kitchen where we made all kinds of goodies, an adjacent playroom where we played house, Barbie, watched "It's A Living," "Silver Spoons," "Small Wonder," "Dukes of Hazzard," "Laverne & Shirley," two mag...

Goals: Why Even Bother?

Sometimes the question is not "Why do I want to accomplish this goal"? Sometimes it's more like "Why shouldn't I just do whatever I feel like doing? Why do I want to bother myself with goals when I could just be relaxing instead?" You might then ask yourself, if I forget the goal what do I miss out on? Am I ok with that? Will I have regrets one day? Which will cause me more stress - abandoning the goal or following through on it? What will my life look like next week, next month, next year if I do/don't accomplish the goal? Sometimes when it's the desire for accomplishment that falters, it's the fear of loss that keeps you going.
