Becks Diet Solution
Day 25
Identify Sabotaging Thoughts
Today is about the importantance of recognizing and identifying sabotaging thoughts . I don’t think I have ever really acknowledged these thoughts, even in the past 3 weeks. Beck says that eating off plan doesn't happen automatically, that almost always it is some thing that we have had a thought or series of thoughts about. I can totally contest to this!!!
She suggests for the next few days take time to write down those sabotaging thoughts.
Wow what timing, this exercise has stirred up a lot of thoughts and feelings I may stay here for a few days to get a better grasp.

Identifying Sabotaging Thoughts
It is important to recognise your unique sabotaging thoughts and respond to them effectively. The book says that eating off plan doesn't happen automatically-- that almost always it is preceded by a thought or series of thoughts.
Take the time to tune in and pay attention to those thoughts, identify and be aware of them. As you go through out the day jot these down as they occur.
This one is a biggie for me,
“I’m entitled to have it, I don’t need to justify why". “Yes, but I am also entitled to be healthy and at goal, which one do I want more…Its my choice".
Never before have I stopped to think about what I am thinking before I shove that no-no in my mouth. I will be paying attention to this in the future.
