Recognizing Your Thinking Mistakes

As I am here out of town, I brught m BDS book, I am on day 26, and it seems as though Dr Beck Is Talking to Me. Almost every exmple I could relate to. I thought about every which way to stray from my diet, but I also kept m advantage & response card and read them throughout the day on breaks. I noticed there was bottled water so I used the cold water technique every time I could and it worked. The cold water thing is when you think you are hungry go have couple sips or glass of cold water and the hunger will be displaced.

After practicing BDS, I have noticed myself thinking and rationalizing before I put anything into my mouth.

Last night at our Banquet Dinner, we were served Steak with all the trimmings green beans and baked potatoe and of course fresh green salad and some sort of chocolte desert. I was so proud of mself last night and this morning, I ate  few bites of the green salad, 1/3 of the steak after I raked No GREEN BEANS & NO POTATOES. As for the desert I kept giving to a man at the table and each time they brought me another, Its almost like they wanted to sabatoge my plans, but I held strong to my plans my desire is to shed this weight in 2010, and I can't do it by yo-yo'ing with my meal plan.
 
All I can say is stick to your plans folks either don't know or don't care. Care about your self and do it for you. I KNOW I DID AND I AM

NO CHOICE NO CHOICE NO CHOICE!!!!!!

Melva, I am so proud of you!!! Sounds like you are sticking to the program 100% that is awesome.  I bet that desert fellow looooves you, I know what you mean its almost like were being tested or dare to slip and eat that nasty.  Good for you for holding your ground!!!


Confession Time 
 
I have been bad with the junk, last night hubby and I were out and I mentioned that we needed bread so we stopped at the store.  I picked up the bread, some sliced meat ,a package of raisin tea biscut and a package of Dill Pickle Crispers.

On the way home I had one  buscit and probably 1/2 the bag of Crispers. I guess on the up side I was not eating alone or in secret. 

I sure am aware that I need to step it up in the "I really don't need to eat that".  Knowledge is power and i know this issue is in my face big time and I will change it.... no junk today and if I do I will be on here posting what and how much I ate.

As for today and yesterdays lesson when I look back, there was no emotional reason to eat that stuff  

Keep up the good work Melva!!   I know that was not easy but you stuck with it and was mindful of every choice you made.  I am proud of you.  I can't wait to get my book. It sounds like something I need to read.  It should be here next week.  Keep doing what you are doing girl.  I am proud of you and reading your accomplishment is going to inspire me today.  Weekends are tough for me!! Enjoy your trip.
