Day 19

STOP FOOLING YOURSELF

Have you learned to delude yourself in your diet life? Are you still justifying your cheating?
Here are a few ways we might be cheating ourselves, that result in extra calories every day.

-Eyeball food instead of measure or weighing it

-Justify unplanned food, even that one bite

-Omit certain items when calorie counting, like the cream in your coffee

-Avoiding or refusing to do one of the BDS steps

Beck says" A calorie is a calorie, no matter when, where or why you eat it."

When you find yourself using self deluding sabotaging thoughts, read your Advantage and Responds cards.

Hmmm, the cream one I am famous for that, I have started to measure out a ¼ cup of milk to use in my coffees for each day.

Eyeballing, guilty of this one too.

Unplanned food………sigh!!!

When I don’t follow the food plan I have made for myself…I am fooling myself

Another one for me is avoiding exercise, I have been good for the last 2 weeks but when I refuse to exercise I am fooling myself.

There has been some days that I thought......  "I probably don’t need to do this"...... BUT if I skip it who am I hurting Judith Beck? No, myself, I find myself going back too these days and re reading and thinking what value is in this lesson…to not do a day is like, taking a shower with out the main ingredient, only running water is not going to get me clean!

Quoting Dr. Beck:   "Once I stop fooling myself about my eating, dieting will be easier."

IT'S NOT OKAY !!!
