Today has gone really well. I started at ground one and read my reasons for wanting to be thinner and really thought about how important each one is for me. I also have been visualizing myself going the things on the list.
Yesterday and today I have been with my brothers and their families as well as my parents. We went to an amusement park yesterday and today the zoo. I didn’t diet, but have been taking baby steps. I have noticed that I’m more aware of my munching which will help when I start implementing more of the Dr. Beck’s diet solutions.
Tomorrow I will move to day three – eat sitting down. Day two is just picking your diet and I don’t need to spend time doing that. I think this is soooo key. Any binge I do is always sitting down. I never put an entire piece of cake on my plate and sit properly at the dinner table so I think I really need to make sure I master this task. I often snitch things off the kids’ plates when they are done eating. (For those who don’t have kids you may think this is gross. Keep that mindset! It will keep many extra calories out of your body.) Or I take little tastes of dinner as I’m cooking. I can still taste test dinner – at least until I implement my diet – but I must be sitting. I can still eat an entire cake, but I just have to sit to do it. Baby steps! (Don’t worry I won’t eat an entire cake and I’ve actually never done that, but I sure have wanted to!)
So as long as tonight I read my reasons, then tomorrow it will be sit down Wednesday.

I think it is so interesting how the processs we are learning in the book eases us into the mind-set that is advantageous to weight loss. My guess is that you'll come back to the 'picking your diet' section at some point. The reason I say this is I can't imagine the 'daily planning' stuff without guidelines.
Bottom line, know that at least one person reads and cares what you write...
