GET READY TO WEIGH IN -They allow us to celebrate and build up confidence when we've lost weight
Today is about preparing to weigh in and making a weight graph
Some advantages of weekly weigh-ins are
-They keep us honest if we've gained
-They help us stay committed
Beck says "It's important for you to start using the scale as an information tool that provides data you can use to guide your eating." "On any given day, the number on the scale is exactly what it should be, given what you ate, how much energy you expended in the past few days, the amount of fluid your body is retaining, and other biological influences"
She recommends using a graph to chart weight loss and gain and use it as a point of reference. It along with the food plan will help to better understand if any tweaking needs to be done to the food plan or exercise routine. Its just one more tool to assist in reaching goal!!

I so agree Melva, after reading each day so far in TBDS and thinking about it, it all seems so simple, the steps we are taking to succeed are not difficult steps. I agree that we are re directing our thoughts in a different direction and being determined to make a change…a change for the better, a life changing change. The changes and choices we are asked to make each day can be a challenge but if we are determined to succeed it will be worth it in the end.
I have some 50 years of habits built up and I know that as I tackle each one I will eventually be able to defeat them all, it may take me several tries but I am willing to keep trying till I get it right.
Excellent idea about the ice cold water. Quite often I think I want some thing but don’t know what and then it turns out that I was just thirsty.
I love this "IT WILL WORK FOR YOU AS LONG AS YOUR WORKING IT"
April, I hope things are improving, your in my prayers and thoughts.
I had a rough day today, I have van trouble, spent the whole day at the auto shop from 9:30 when I had the van towed there till 3:30.
Finnally they tell me they can fix my van for a price, of course .....$2000.00 My van needs a new modular, no getting around it. Ya right dude, thanks for wasting my whole day to give me that little bit of news......The fellow that I was dealing with was sooo rude that I actually told him off and still might report him.
I just left the van there in the shop, I'll have to decide what to do with it but in the mean time it will sit there for a day or two. I think it will be going to van heaven!!

As I work through the BDS prep for my new way of life, their are some challenges in doing the prep.
It is all starting to make since it is all about thinking and putting those thoughts into reality.
How many times have you gotten up and started eating without thinking, well that was my former way of life.
I did try this new thing,a good friend told me about, I'd get up at night and graze, I mean unconciously go in the kitchen and throw something in my mouth, as if it was a reflex. Well I am training myself, to be in control of everything I put in my mouth.
First of all keep cold water in the fridge at all times.
When I get up I make myself go and get an ice cold glass of water and drink the entire glass before I get anything else. Both times the water satisfied me and I didn't eat any else.
Now is that fantastic or what, just remember stick to whatever your plan is. "IT WILL WORK FOR YOU AS LONG AS YOUR WORKING IT"
