Day 40 - Beck Diet Solution, Enrich Your Life



What aren’t you doing?

Let’s get real here for a second.  What aren’t you doing that you think you’re too fat to do, but would run out and do in a heartbeat if you had that “dream” body?  Would you go to the beach?  Look for a new job?  Go to that club?  If you’re single, talk to that cute girl or guy?

Well my friend, what are you waiting for?  We all know life is short and we aren’t promised tomorrow.  We see somber reminders of that all too often.

Whatever you just listed above, go out and do it.  NOW.

Ok, it doesn’t have to be this second.  But take steps now towards whatever you’ve been longing to do, whatever you said you’d do when you “finally” lost all the weight you want to lose.  Did you want to go on a vacation, go on a cruise, go skydiving if you’re really brave?  Do you have the money and time?  If so, go on and book that bad boy.

For us here in Florida, it’s perpetual summer.  It’s Miller Time (or your favorite skinny drink!)  Own the summer.  Go to the beach.  Even if you don’t live in Florida!  Don’t be shy – even if you’re not skinny, Sir Mix-A-Lot said he likes big butts for a reason.  Go out dancing.  Go to those wild parties.  Take smaller steps if even going out the door is a big step for you.  Go to the movies, a museum or even a cafe for some coffee, tea or mineral water.  The point is, get out there and live life.  You don’t have to wait for the scale to give you “permission” to get out there and rock your world.  You have always had it.

Day 22 - Beck Diet Solution, Say “Oh Well” To Disappointment

Inigo Montoya: Who are you? Man in Black: No one of consequence. Inigo Montoya: I must know... Man in Black: Get used  to disappointment. Inigo Montoya: 'kay. The Princess Bride (20th Century Fox 1987) Just as Inigo shrugs off the disappointment of the Man in Black’s declining to reveal his identity and gets right back into the duel, so too must we shrug off those discouragements that go hand-in-hand with losing weight and keep truckin’ down the weight loss trail.   It’ll go easier for us if we do.  What if we just lay around bellyaching about how horrible it is that we can’t have that donut, can’t eat/drink exactly what everybody else does at parties, can’t just open the fridge and eat whenever we felt like it?  How much would we really accomplish that way?  Even if we do stick to our plans for a little while under that mindset, we’d be fighting an exhausting battle with ourselves every day and eventually give in.  Even the patience an...

Jimmy - 2/1/20

I dreamed of my Jimmy last night.  It was one of those dreams where it was all a mistake.  He hadn't really died.  He was at some nursing home and they were trying to find him for me.  Then in another part of the dream he was running around randomly spraying a hose.  Being that goofy Jimmy that he was.  I was hiding from him, terrified.  Then he popped up in front of me and sprayed some in my face, and I just laughed.  I hugged him hard.  Then in another part of the dream I was lying with him on the floor of the den in my grandparents' house, where sometimes I would just fall asleep in contentment.  I was leaning against my Jimmy.  I could feel myself leaning against him.  Then I woke up and saw I was leaning against the big pillow instead. Wow I love you Jimmy.  Always will.  Never was anyone like you before, nor will there ever be again.  This was not my first "it was all a mistake" dream.  I gu...
