I wanted to let you guys know that I have not fallen by the wayside.   The family and I have had a stomach bug, and food is the last thing on my mind right now.   The kids are better and I am starting to feel better.   Hoping that today is the last day of it.

I watch for yours as well Melva.  I know if I did not come here and post every day and several times a day that the BDS book and work book would be buried somewhere or just collecting dust.
When I come here I feel a responsibility to everyone here and to myself to just keep working at it.


I am worth it...I deserve it and You are too!!!!

Okay so some times you just need to give yourself a kick in the but and say "get on with it". Ive been on this day for two days now and its time to face the music and then move on.

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.

Melva, sounds like you are well on your way, what an exciting time in this journey, a hard journey, yes, but well worth it to get our lives back on track. “We can choose to let the thoughts control our actions either positive or negative.." so true in every aspect of our lives. I consciously choose positive thoughts!

“Accentuate the Positive and the Negative Will Eliminate itself’.

Good for you Melva, armed and ready to fight the Carb Monster, the cheese and vegs right next to the snacks (good idea)….that’s WAR…. LOL. I see Day 29 talks about Food Pushers, looks like you are at the front of the class already! 

I think we get to a spot in life were we have tried every thing but the right thing, and I truly think this is the right thing, this CT is going to help us make LIFE LONG changes……..WE GET IT now……We understand what we need to do to succeed and now….we are a work in progress!!!!!

Keep doing, your doing great!!!

I have taken a few days to get over my fear of day 25, during those few days I have gone back over some of the previous days and made some changes and adjustments. I think today is the day to move on to Day 25...I don’t like it, I don’t want to BUT that’s life there are just some things that are NO CHOICE and day 25 is one of them for me…so here I go moving on through this journey.

I was able to get to the gym this morning, haven’t been for a week due to no van. After about 20 min on the Tread Climber I was pooped and didn’t know if I could continue but I did. I went for a full 45 min and then 15 min on the bike. Felt sooooo good once it was done!

I don't know how many times I can tell you I eat just to eat. With BDS we have been learning, there is a thought before we eat or do anything, now that is powerful, I believe, that is why if followed, cognitive thinking will work for all of us who apply the taught principles. We can choose to let the thoughts control our actions either positive or negative..

As I move through the chapters of the BDS, It's not easy to change something I have been doing for a lifetime, which is why I read my advantages more than once or twice a day, I keep them on me, before I do anything I review them and the response cards are also helpful, I especially Like NO CHOICE. When I told a co-worker that she just looked puzzled and stopped offering the usualy nightly food runs, you know the vending machines, home made cookies banana bread nuts, whatever food that is sat out for us to grab and eat.

I am a nurse and we sometimes are running and cannot stop for a "Lunch Break". What I have done is in my meal planning, cut up cheese and vegetables put in a zip lock bag sit next to their snacks along with my big glass of water always filled with ice. I am going to always be ready to combat the Hungry Monster

That has been working for me for the past couple days, please pray for me I am doing all I can to continue this for the rest of my life. My thoughts on that is that type of grabbing and continuously eating is what has helped me to get into this issue of overeating and obesity.

Any suggestions will help I do use any suggestion sent to me we all are so creative and I am sure as the rest of you all, lets do whatever it takes to make this happen.We need each other as a group, as a group we can and will succeed.....
