What does it require to be a diet coach?
Is it just making sure you stick to your diet or provide recipes, and nutrition info?

I need to get caught up on the steps for the Beck Diet Solution and get busy. I'm a little behind, but I did borrow the book from the library so I can read it too. Thanks Joan!
I just bought tickets to the Medieval Times Dinner Show in Chicago for Saturday. My daughter and I are going. I think it will be a blast! (She is 36 so we have a lot of fun together on our getaways!) Getting very excited. I need this time away soooo badly!
I think part of my depression lately has been because I really wanted to lose SO MUCH WEIGHT before this weekend because I only see these girls once a year and I wanted to look good and feel comfortable in a swim suit laying by the pool. When I realized it was not going to happen, I just didn't care anymore. But now I'm back at it and my attitude is good again. These women could care less what I weigh or look like!
So...Just for Tuesday:
1. Stay in the green
2. Hydrate
3. Meet my step goal
4. Finish my to-do list in preparation for the trip
5. Read my Advantages Response cards four times (Did I tell you my granddaughter wrote on the bottom of one of these I had in the kitchen? She wrote "Grandma, you are beautiful just the way you are". So sweet!)
5. Paint my nails tonight
6. Get bills paid tonight
7. Get to bed early so I can get up early, work early and be done early tomorrow to begin my vaca!!!!
Have a great day!

Just a quick one for you all..
Do you ever just.. write off days?
I had the choice today. Pizza or salad
I bought the fecking pizza didn't I!
Ate the whole thing
I'm still within my calories ATM but won't be after tea but I don't think I'll be massively over as I'm having a small portion because I'm not that hungry anyway.
But I just feel like writing today off.
What I have learnt though. Is what a trigger of mine is.
If I forget to take my tablets (antidepressants and thyroxine) first thing in the morning.
Then I eat crap allllllll day!
I've got chocolate bars hidden in a teapot for crying out loud!
I need to rid myself of these triggers don't I?
I really want to do well on this BDS.
Not making a good start though!0 -

Tracie - I do this every year when my high school girlfriends come down - think I am going to lose 30 lbs. But ... its never happened. Your friends will not care one bit what you weigh or how you look in a swimsuit. So I hope you have a wonderful time, and don't worry about any of that.
I am now where I just want to be back in control of my life, and not let food rule me. If I can do that, maybe next summer when my friends come, or any other thing comes up in life, which for me is often, then I can look good ALL the time, not just for one occassion.
I'm glad you found the book. I find it so enlightening - its making me realize how I got the way I look!
Have a awesome time this weekend!2 -

Hey -don't feel bad. I have a pizza in the oven right now! We are so busy, I just don't have time to fix anything else. but .... that is life. But ..... stay away from those chocolate bars 1 -
@Bex953172 I take psychiatric meds too! For the longest time I always forgot to take them. I met the DH and he got me to start taking them regularly again. In the very beginning, I kept my meds with me in my bag so that if I did forget I could take them right away. And now, four years and a wedding later, I keep them next to my bed and take them before I go to sleep every night. It's so engrained in me now that I feel like I've missed something if I forget to take them, and it feels effin AMAZING to be stable, especially for the last 4 years. Once you figure out what works for you then it'll become a habit and then you'll be golden!
@joan6630 I'm pretty far behind in the Beck Solution days. Lol. I eat a lot in bed. We live in a two room house(a bedroom and a main room). I spend a lot of time in the bedroom on my laptop or tablet when DH is playing video games or when I'm winding down before bed and a lot of time there is food involved. So I'm always sitting but a lot of the time I'm propped up in bed. It drives the DH crazy. So I think I'll tweak that one to eating in the main room. I need to make new Response Cards too! I wrote one out on a flimsy piece of paper at work, so I will make a bunch more and put them all over the house/car/teller station. I have started to pay attention to eating slower over the last like two weeks or so. And that has been helping. DH looks at me kind of funny but it seems to be helping.2
