People who struggle with their weight tend to be hard on themselves. Instead of viewing slips as mistakes and thinking how they can can solve the problems next time, they tell themselves they are week, or bad.

So now we have to tell ourselves that we are doing good. When we get through a meal and stay on plan, think or say out loud things like "good", or I'm doing great.

Choose a positive word or phrase and write it down different places where you will see it. When you see it go through what positive things you have done today and give yourself credit....

That is my diet message today. I didn't finish the homework, which was to figure out a way to remind yourself to always eat sitting down. I found myself standing in front of the fridge eating a piece of lunch meat. Now I have 2 notes, one on the fridge, one on a cupboard that simply says SIT DOWN.

I was extra hungry today, so I ate more, but of food on plan.
Breakfast: the same
morning snack: chicken hotdish
Dinner Chicken hotdish and coleslaw
snack: Atkins bar
Snack: SF jello
Snack: 20 almonds
Supper: salad with cold chicken chopped...

Day 2 of induction went well. I had the same breakfast I always have. It is fast and easy, and keeps me full till dinner. For dinner it was a cup of coleslaw and 2 hamb. patties. I usually only eat one, but I was hungry today. My snack was jello with cream cheese and a small handful of almonds. Supper was a chicken breast and a wonderful salad with my homemade french dressing and blue cheese dressing mixed together. Yummy. Now I am so tired it is off to bed early. Day 2 in my Beck Diet solution.......

Ok, trying this again. I do so good, then I talk myself out of Atkins and things just go to hell in a handbasket from there. I am ashamed to type that I weigh more then when I first started. I weighed in at 198 this morning. I could just cry when I write that. Well, this is it, I am going to do it this time. I am also working on changing my mindset about dieting with a book I got on the internet. It is from a women , Beck, that has helped lots of people with their weightloss issues. Everyday for the next 6 weeks she gives assingments to work on thinking like a thin person. Today was number 1....
