BBR Forward
The forward states that this book, The Beck Diet Solution by Judith Beck is “Based on the techniques of Cognitive Therapy, it helps you learn to think differently so you can change your eating behavior – not just in the short run, but for the rest of your life.” The forward goes on and says that while people can change their behavior those changes don’t last unless they also change their thinking.
While people often know what they need to do to lose weight and then maintain the weight loss they don’t always know “how to do these things or they don’t know how to consistently get themselves to do these things. In countering this Judith Beck has identified the key thinking distortions and calls them “sabotaging thoughts.” Examples of these are: Rationalization (I had a rough day I deserve this), underestimating consequences (Calories don’t count on Christmas), self-deluded thinking (I’ll make up for it the rest of the week), arbitrary rules (It is my birthday I have to celebrate with food), mind-reading (Patty made these and she’ll feel bad if I don’t have one or two), and exaggeration (I need to eat all of this because I might get hungry).
This program will teach you to correct these distortions, how to solve diet- and non-diet-related problems, and how to motivate yourself to do what you need to do.
Aaron T. Beck, M. D. wrote the forward. He was the (or one of the) originators of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Judith Beck’s father.
What do you think about the idea that our thinking governs our success/failure with weight management?
What sabotaging thoughts have you had?
BBR Introduction
The big thing about the introduction is the author’s statement that it is not our fault that we can’t lose weight and keep it off. The actual problem is we don’t know how to do it successfully. The things dieters don’t know include:
How to motivate themselves
What to do when they are tempted to cheat
How to view slip-ups as mistake not a reason to give up
How to handle the feelings of being overwhelmed, hopeless, or unable to keep going
That they can learn how to manage their weight successfully
Another thing people don’t realize is that dieting has natural ups and downs, sometimes it is easy then it gets hard and then it is easy again. In this book you will learn how to manage all these situations so when things get hard you will know what to do. As you use your new skills things will get easier and easier.
If you get a chance read page 13. There is a list of things people learned from going through this program that they didn’t know before and that we learn while going through the program.
With all the things that make weight management a success what are you looking forward to learn, or what have you learned from previous reviews of the program?
