On Day 18 Beck asks us to focus on not eating to the point overfullness.
The test she uses to determine overfullness is: Could you take a brisk walk immediately after eating? If no, you're overfull, if yes, you're not and if you're not sure - then try it!
I think the next few days are going to focus on listening to our bodies.
This was another very short chapter and I really don't have anything to say, personally, about it, except that I am going to be very diligent about not getting overfull during the holiday meals.
Giving myself credit for:
1. Reading response cards 2 x.
2. Tracking everything I ate.
3. Not giving into workplace holiday treats.
ok I just gotta say huge kudo's for not giving into work treats! I absolutely failed today and am in awe of all the no-sayers in blogland! VERY well done!
ReplyDeleteAnd will totally remember the walk trick!
I totally believe in stopping just before full. It feels so much better. I NEVER want to feel stuffed to the gills again!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice that you're doing all of this reading and reporting for us! Thanks!
Congratulations on your accomplishments ! It takes a lot more to get the scale to move than simply a numeric equation of calories in vs calories out. It is our behaviors leading to those actions that will mean permanent success.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying reading your thoughts and experiences with The Beck Solution ! It gives a lot of food for thought
I hate the feeling of eating until I'm stuffed. Before I started my plan to get healthy I used to do that quite often, and last night I witnessed my son following my past, bad example. I think the Beck Diet Solution is very interesting! I enjoy reading as you're learning thru experience!
