to keep going! Thanks.
Since you can’t be everywhere, PLEASE make your workshop

I agree with you, Winnie. It’s so much easier to diet when we can control what we’re eating, make meals at home, have a refriderator for restaurant leftovers, etc. But I can tell you it is possible to lose weight while traveling. It’s also possible to just stay even on while away and of course sometimes that’s good enough.

~ I’ve lost 10 pounds in 10 months.

Pat:

Your husband is probably one of those people described in the beginning of the pink book that doesn’t have a weight problem. All of the things that work for him such as not weighing himself may not work for you. So why not try something else? For me, I remember two periods of life when I stopped weighing myself daily, and I gained weight each time. The first time was when I moved and the new bathroom was smaller so I didn’t put in the scale. I didn’t know at the time this would lead to weight gain, but it did! Another time I just got too overwhelmed by life to take care of myself properly. I didn’t care until at the time. Next time I’ll know better and remember. Salt, hormones and gaining muscle can all influence your weight, even if If you are losing fat. But if you get on the scale hundreds of times a year (weigh daily) you will get used to the little fluctuations that naturally occur, even on a general down trend when you are losing weight. You will not be so sensitive to it, and will start to use the number as a piece of important information you can use for dieting.

I am so happy that I went to the blog today. I began the Beck Diet Solution in June and last week was the first week that I gained weight. I have mostly lost, or at least stayed the same, until this week. I started to get scared that the gain meant that it didn’t “take” and that I was failing again. Now, I am going to re-commit to reading my ARC and other response cards daily. I was over optimistic to think that I had it all figured out and too fatalistic when I thought I was failing! Neither extreme is correct.

Why is this blog so outdated? I come here today, Oct, 2009, to find a calendar of workshops, etc, but the comments are so outdated. Please, so many of us could benefit from being able to post on a current message board.

I have always been told NOT to weigh daily because those of us overweight have obsessions with the scale and should weigh only every one to two weeks. Why should will risk allowing the scale to label us good or bad, why not put the focus on the lists of everyday care that we must do? My husband has been a normal healthy weight most of his life and I think he weighs himself every year or so in the doctors office. I know that is extreme the other way, but he is thin and seems to eat mostly when he is hungry. I just don’t know if facing the scale everyday is not unlike walking through the “local bar” once a day just to see the booze and say no. The scale is such a trigger, we eliminate the foods we really can’t handle in the beginning of this diet, why not the scale as well? I am just beginning so I am afraid to go there. Any comments?
