MAY 24, 2010: I am back on the road again! I'm using the Beck Diet Solution and the government food pyramid. I reviewed my last year's weight chart and it could look worse. So far I've maintained a 20-lb weight loss since I joined CK in March '08. I've gained about 7 lbs since December 4, and that's finally gotten my attention. I see how much I've strayed away from all those good habits I had -- making wise food choices, logging my foods, counting calories.GOOD THING: I've exercis...

My Beck reading today was "Day 16 No Unplanned Eating." I'm still saying, "but, but, but, I cain't!" Of course, I can. Just shows how helpful it is to read this stuff, think it through, and then go, "Oh, yeah, I guess that would help!"I'm still not clear on how I'm going to preplan my meals though. For breakfast today, I planned grain, fruit, cheese. I think that's how I'll have to go, with an outline that I plug in what's on hand at eating time. D...
