149.8 this morning...let's hope we've seen the last of the 150s FOREVER!
Yesterday was pretty good...I ate only SBD foods, said "no thanks" to a bunch of samples at the farmers market (and then gave myself credit for it!), and tried to eat more slowly. I wouldn't say that I ate slowly per se (I don't want my food to get cold!), but slower, and I paid a lot more attention to what I was eating.
I am DEVOURING sugar snap peas these days...man, I love those things!
For day 6, you're supposed to find a diet coach. I plan on using this blog as my coach, sort of...If I write here every day, then I have to be accountable if I get off track. So leave me a comment if I'm slacking!
Day 7 is Arrange Your Environment. I just moved into my new apartment a couple weeks ago, so I already have that taken care of...there is NO junk in this place! (Also, since I don't have a job yet, I'm not really exposed to bad food in that situation...I guess that's one positive of being unemployed...)
Speaking of which, I should go apply to some jobs now. Wish me luck!

Day 1
Week 1 of the Beck Diet Solution is 'Laying the Groundwork'...you don't even actually start dieting until week 3. (I will we watching what I eat anyway though, seeing as how I would like to be able to wear my regular pants VERY SOON.)
The task for Day 1 is to create an Advantages Response Card where you write down all the advantages of losing weight. The idea is, you read the card and you're reminded of the reasons you want to lose weight, and you'll be able to resist tempting food.
I think we'll be able to put this theory to the test pretty soon, because I am tempted to eat the feta cheese in my fridge right now.
Lizzy's Advantages Response Card:
1. I won't have to wear these ugly stretchy pants and too-tight jeans. And then I will be able to go shopping for new, skinny pants!
2. I will feel more confident. This will be great for meeting new friends in my new city!
3. I will look better. This will be helpful in my task of finding a new boyfriend!
4. I won't feel all out of control and frustrated with myself for binge eating crappy food, like I often am now.
5. I will be fitter, and better at sports.
6. I won't feel like such a fatass when I hang out with my skinny sister.
7. When I see my old friends at an upcoming wedding in October, they will say I look great!
Okay...those are the reasons I can think of for now. I'm going to set up my email so that my reasons get sent to me several times a day, and I'll also read them whenever I feel like eating food that I shoudn't.
Alrighty, task 1 is DONE! And I haven't eaten the cheese, and I'm not going to either...so far so good!

I'm Lizzy!
Hi There! My name is Lizzy, and I've been trying to lose 15lbs since...forever. I recently made some big changes in my life (breakup, quitting job, moving), which is great except that I also did a lot of eating during the transition, and now none of my pants fit! The situation is DIRE!
I recently picked up a copy of Judith Beck's "The Beck Diet Solution", and it looks really promising. I'm hoping that posting my progress here will help me stay on track, and might be helpful to other people too.
Let's get this party started!
