BBR Chapter 1
The Key to Success
My favorite part of chapter 1 is the idea Beck does not use the words cheat/cheating in this book because she thinks that using those words while dieting can demoralize you and keep you from getting back on track. Instead she uses “unplanned eating” or “overeating.” And she wants us to take this view: Okay, so I ate something I didn’t plan to eat or I ate more than I was supposed to. It was just a mistake, no big deal…I’ll get back on track for the rest of the day.
At the beginning of the chapter Beck again reminds us that our lack of success with dieting is because we don’t know how to do it. She says she will teach you how to do it successfully and for life. You will learn how to avoid cheating, how to resist temptations, how to cope with hunger, cravings, stress, and strong negative emotions without comforting yourself with food, and how to motivate yourself to exercise. All this will happen when you change the way you think.
She maintains that she will teach you to think like a thin person and assist you get rid of your mindset of sabotaging thoughts that keep you from success. This is psychological program that will get you to eat what you are supposed to eat by choosing appropriate foods and eating behaviors by changing your thinking permanently.
Beck mentions that Arron Beck is her father and that he started cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) working with depressed patients. He worked with them to set up goals, solve problems, and change their thinking. This led to their depression abating.
Your thinking affects how you feel and what you do. CBT helps you to identify your sabotaging thoughts and learn how to effectively respond to them. It also helps you to solve the problems you run into while dieting such as tempting food or feeling stressed.
Beck mentions the following steps for success:
Create a nutritious diet
Create time and energy for dieting
Plan what and when you’re going to eat
Seek support
Deal with disappointment
View overeating as a temporary problem you can solve
Cope with hunger and cravings
Eliminate emotional eating
Give yourself credit
What part of the program are you interested in learning?
