Beck Diet Solution: Day 2
Day 2 of the Beck Diet Solution: Training your brain to think like a thin person (ending the binge eating)

Pick a diet plan you wish to follow.

Whether it be low carb, calorie counting, etc. This was easy for me, since I am just counting calories. The book says to pick 2 plans -- one to use as a backup. But for me, I am just trying to count calories.

I struggled with that one as I don't really want to to do anything other than count calories either. But then I decided that plan B could be introducing 'rules' alongside calorie counting, if CC isn't working. In a way calorie counting can be a little too flexible sometimes. Introducing rules (like, no chocolate except on Fridays, or once a week only, for example) might be helpful. I like this idea and might include rules as part of plan A now!

Happy New Year everyone!

Really fell off the wagon at the end of the year and put some weight on.

However, New Year is a fresh start. In a way the weight gain could be a good thing - it's a bit of a wake up call; shows that if I just eat what I want, weight gain is the result. So I need to change my habits for good.

@joan6630 @OConnell5483 I was given the Beck Diet Solution for Christmas, so will be working on it as well (on day 7 now). I think it will be helpful - the first few chapters really resonated with me.

Today's commitments -
- Log everything I eat
- No snacks (at all)
- No alcohol
- Be in the green
- Go for a walk at lunch
- Take Beck diet actions for the day

I also have the Beck Diet Solution (and workbook!) .. that reminds me I should get it out!! It’s been stored away

I feel rotten today! Something I’ve ate has not agreed with me and I feel so poorly (I reckon a 24 hr thing so will be okay tomorrow)
But it’s 4.10pm here and I’ve not eaten a thing yet. Although I’m starting to feel hungry so that’s a good sign right?

Just trying to stay hydrated today
