About

Hi,

This is the first time I’ve tried a ‘blog’, so please, be pateint with me. I am on a sharp learning curve.

First of all, some personal info… I’m 60+, a retired school teacher, a mother of 2 sons, a grandmother of 4, a yo-yo dieter, an avid reader, who likes to think that having a goal at this point in my life is the point of my life. 

This is the third book I’ve read on Cognitive Therapy, and it really rings a bell for me. The other two are finally starting to make sense. I like the way Judith Beck applies this powerful tool to a real world problem. (Even though I’ve quit smoking, I’ll bet smoking cesation will be soon to follow, if not from her then from someone else.)

I am reading this book differently than I have ever read any other book… I am not reading ahead. Even though my blog entries through Day 14 were posted in bunches, I am reading each section, one day at a time, and working the program sequentially. So, some problems that come up early for me may be addressed later in the book.

Enough for now… lets start working on The Beck Diet Solution.
