A lot of the advice in Beck's Diet Solution I had forgotten. And some of it is hitting home. She writes something along these lines: Many unsuccessful dieters focus too soon on what they are eating, and beating themselves up for eating too much. Instead, focus on the skills and techniques for how to think about this. Only when they are mastered should you move into actual dieting. (Sounds like the Karate Kid.)
So one of the techniques is giving yourself credit. I did somethings right today:
- I took a long and quite brisk walk at lunch today.
- I had appropriate snacks and drinks already in my desk and ready to go when I got the 4 pm munchies.
- I involved my girl in making dinner.
- I got up and started moving after dinner.
- I'm writing here.

Thanks for reading and commenting! I have no idea what's up with the comment thing, maybe I'll see if there are any settings I can adjust. I'll try to get to it this weekend, though right now it appears we'll have more time on our hands.
