Sure, join in.

The Beck Solution is all about usinf cognitive therapy in self-coaching. It tries to teach you how to think like a thin person and how to stop yourself if you're in the middle of a binge. Interesting stuff. What are you doing?

Hey Maddie--

This new job takes up ALOT of my time, so sorry if I've been MIA. I am so proud of you that you've kept to your diet and lost some weight. Good for you!

I am going to designate Sundays as my weigh in and check in day with you (not that you wont hear from me during the week.) Sundays is when I'll have some down time at my job and I also get dressed early in the am for church.

Today I've had my protein shake for breakfast (about 260 cals) and a hardboiled egg.

I find myself getting the munchies late in the evening, and that's not so good considering we have lots of Harry and David crackers left over from my wine a cheese party a couple weeks ago. What do you do when you get teh munchies?

Being a nanny is hard. Kudos to you!

Later--Courtnay

Good luck with your PhD--Penn is a great school. And Rudy is my favorite movie of all time.

I used South Beach when I had to lose weight from my 3rd child, and it worked pretty well. At the end of phas 1, though, I would have sold my soul to the devil for a bowl of raisin bran! And I do like to have a drink before dinner, most ususally a light beer. Right now, I am using a workbook called the Beck diet solution which uses cognitive therapy to help you succeed. I'm using that in conjunction with the  Abs Diet for Women. Now that I'm into my 40s, the pudge has come!

I am starting a new job today--huge in terms of what that means for my life and my family, so wish me luck. I will check in at the end of the day. My lunch is packed: chicken, hardboiled eggs, almonds (I love protein). Wish me luck!

New Year's is only 20 weeks away???!!! Yikes!

I do have a scale at home (in the closet), and I really don't want to get on it, BUT i suppose if I'm going to be really honest with myself and another person, I will have to get in there and see what the number says.

What are you in grad school for? I have an MA and almost PhD in English, but chose to be home with my kids for the last 10 years. Where do you live? Do you like it? I am in a small town on top of a mountain in TN called Sewanee. I love it here.

Have you been slim before or is this your 1st big push to diet? What diet are you following?

Look forward to hearing from you--

I agree with shandy cat. At least get outside--the sun and fresh air wherever you are will help enormously. Don't hibernate and isolate too much. My best..

I think if you just start cutting out white processed foods, and begin to eat only foods that remeber where they came from, you'll be fine.
