Giving yourself credit... xpost

As many of you know, I love the 'Beck Diet Solution' and giving ourselves credit where credit is due is one of the exercises that appears in the book.

Dieters need to give themselves credit for every positive diet and exercise-related behaviors they do.  For instance, every time they stop eating before they’re overfull (Day 18), get back on track after straying (Day 20), eat slowly and mindfully (Day 5), or do any kind of exercise (Day 9), they need to say something to themselves, such as “Great,” or “Good, I did it.” Many people who have struggled with their weight are hard on themselves and overly self-critical.  By consciously recognizing the dozens of things they do right each day, dieters build up their self-confidence and awareness that they’re strong and in control.

It's important to recognize and articulate the things we are doing well. Sometimes, I think it even makes it easier to do the things we know that we need to do to keep us on track as we make our way to our healthiest selves.

I'd like to have everyone tell some things they did in the past week that they deserve credit for.

So... come on, tell us what you've done this week that you deserve credit for. Did you go for walk? Did you log your intake? Did you take your supplements? etc ....

Please be sure to go the discussion board on the Loser's Bench and tell us what you deserve credit for.
