Becks Diet Solution
Messed Up a Little
Well I Have one day left on the prep. Even though I was not on chosen a diet yet, I have still been following our basic WLS, ways of eating. Took the kids to Texas Roadhouse, started to eat the peanuts, I am sure I ate at least a cup, without thinking. I was upset with myself but I started using the learned distractions. I thought about the advantages of why I was doing the BDS, I immediatly pulled out my card telling me to get back on track and I moved away from the container.
Now I am aware when I eat something I hadn't planned on, it is not the end of the world. I made a mistake, and I need to get back on track that minute. Which is exactly what I did.
I am learning so much with this BDS, I used rationalization to keep me from continuing to eat/ overeat. My thoughts at the moment were this is stupid, if I continue I would blow everything I am continuing to work so hard for.
At the table, they sat the delicious buttery biscuits in front of me on the table, I moved them to the other side of the table, started to talk to myself and it worked I didn't even want them after thinking it out in my mind.
It is a mind over matter thing, My advantages kept me on track.
When I mess up I am gonna jump back up and Never give up I am gonna make this work!!!

At first I was a bit confused by your post. I thought the BDS was a type of WLS but then I saw that you are post-op. Duh, I realized that you are referring to the Beck's Diet Solution as BDS. That's fine and kinda cool. I just hope Im not the only fool regarding the abbreviation.
You seem to be talking about doing prep for getting on a diet. I always tell post ops to continue with their WLS diet IF THEY ARE FOLLOWING It. I don't se any sense in waiting to start a diet if you are following one no matter how poorly you are doing. That's like giving ourselves free reign over our troubled eating and that's a behavior we've done too often.
You'll see that I do disagree with Dr Beck at times and you are best served following her recommendations as long as they are not contrary to your nutritionist's nor doctors' recommendations. For example, I can handle drinking a little with my meals but that's supposed to be a major no-no with RNY. It was fine with my surgeons. Dr Beck talks about planning treats during your week. I've talked to a food addiction counselor who uses BDS and she said we can allow for treats but not with addictive foods.
Overall, you are doing great. BDS is easy to follow. You can generally post anythng here about it and expect to get a response. Anyone who is working the same program Day or a later one can be a valuable asset in telling you how they handled that Day.
