Good luck tomorrow with the weigh-in!!
Did you learn anything at Thanksgiving that might help things go more smoothly at Christmas? I guess it's a different situation, though, because you'll be away then.
I've read ahead a little and wondered why "giving yourself credit" wasn't one of the things on your list of skills. Are you doing that? I think it's really important. Maybe it's my own issue, though. It was a big revelation to me. I realized that I tend not to think I've done anything so great when I do the "right" thing b/c, well....it's the right thing and what I SHOULD be doing. Perhaps a need to recognize myself a bit more!
I have all kinds of thoughts running through my head about this; especially whether I really want to change my eating all that much. The word "diet" and the idea of following a regimented plan scare the crap out of me. I'm nearing 30 lbs. lost WITHOUT being on a diet and I'm afraid it'll all get screwed up and I'll fail if I change things. That doesn't mean I don't want to do the skills in the workbook, though. From what I've read so far, I think they're GREAT and that they could really help me. It's day 15 that worries me. Am I kidding myself in thinking I can work through the skills and plan my eating ahead of time without using a particular diet?
I'm also freaked out about the whole buddy thing. My cousin said she'd like to do the workbook with me, so I bought her a copy. But, she's already not reading like she said she would. This is no surprise, however; I've known forever that she's not dependable. I've thought about asking my best friend, but she's a size 0 and has never had a weight problem, so I feel really self-conscious in talking about these things with her. Plus, I just don't want everyone and their dog to know I'm doing this. It's just too much pressure.
Help!
