Beck - Chapter 4 Discussion

WOOOHOOO I found my book (I stuck it in the hat drawer in the hall). I read chapter 1 last night and am planning (hoping) to get caught up today so I can get in the discussion

Yes!!! XOXOXO Ro

You have a HAT drawer?

I read your post and LAUGHED! Yes, I do have a HAT Drawer..I have 2 boys (14 & 10) and it is our hat and gloves drawer. Not my "personal" hat drawer as this big old head was not made for hats Diana

Okay I am ready to begin, will get my cards today and get started! Yes I too I am very tired of the yo yo dance with the scale!!!! I am going to try to just work with the protiens and leave the carbs alone. I crave them. I do notice when I do the pouch diet , for a few weeks after I can fit very little in my pouch so a very good thing to jump start a new plan. And that is just it I need to really organize myself and make a plan with everything the food, the exercise and the mind set, sounds like that is what Dr Beck is getting ready to do with us. On to chapter 5 good luck all Kelly

Hi, Kelly... I'm going to follow the plan that Melissa put together in her recent post. The exercise will probably be the hardest for me, as I haven't commited to it yet. What do you think about her post. Seems to hit all of the bases that we need after WLS. Too bad that the Beck book wasn't written for Bariatric patients. Are you finding that the list on page 57 "used to apply to more of your old behaviors"; less to how you are now? I think that I've come to terms with some of the reasons. Ro

Hey Ro, sorry it took this long to get back to you my crazy life took me for quite a ride. About this paln melissa posted do you know where i would be interest in it. Not sure what i will do plan wise as of yet but really need to get in gear. I have my 18 month check soon and Dr will not be happy in my lack of progress since Jan. Yes i need to find that post and read it. List on 57 is excellent and I can relate to having feeling the same as most of them listed. I am so hoping this book will help me because i am very lost at the moment, talk to you soon kelly
