Day 6 – Find a Diet Coach
Support is an important part of our success at this. Beck advocates us getting a diet coach to support us with help and encouragement through our journey. Today’s assignment is to get you a diet coach.
A diet coach will:
Keep you motivated.
Build your self-confidence.
Help you to solve problems.
Keep you accountable.
Help you take a more useful perspective.
Sources for diet coaches:
A close friend or family member.
Do the Beck book with someone.
Join an organized group.
Find a diet professional.
Investigate internet support.
Beck suggests you discuss things at least weekly with your coach, initiate more communication when you have problems, and contact daily if you are really struggling.
If you have a diet coach, tell us about it, if you don’t tell us who you might get as a coach.

I use my WW workshop and my online support groups as my diet coaches. I know these groups understand.

No diet coach...use the online groups as my coaches Same here. I've done a couple of reviews with three participants communicating by email. The first one there was not much back and forth, the second one was more interactive. I ended up starting each email. I didn't find it made much difference in anyone's Beck success. I mostly did it so I could say I tried every strategy.

For the last 6 years a friend of mine (who is on WW and used to be my leader) has been my diet coach. In addition to checking in with her daily, this time around I have a quasi-diet coach. My childhood friend's daughter is studying to be a nutritionist. So far so good. She's new to the weightloss journey so that aspect is novel for her. She suggests basically the same strategies that Beck does. I'm doing it more for her than for myself although I must say that when it comes to strategies for responding to sabotaging thoughts she really holds me to my word.

I'm a little late to the party this time.
My diet coaches are several friends in my WW meeting. We cheer and encourage each other, or commiserate when times are tough.

This group is my primary 'coach' and I have a friend I can chat with, as well as my husband.
