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?
