I think I'm losing weight because my other big pair of jeans is getting too baggy. I'm going to have to throw them out, too which is good because I just tore a huge hole in the leg. I weigh on Monday and I am looking forward to it. I'm not constipated now that I changed back to net carbs so that will help. We are having fish in tarragon/mustard sauce tonight - a new recipe - I hope it's OK. I'm going to have a MIM for breakfast tomorrow instead of bacon so I won't be retaining water when I weigh on Monday. I was only able to walk half an hour tonight and tomorrow I am going to skip my walk. Tuesday I'll go back to the Y again.
Today's Beck Diet Solution task is to Practice Hunger Tolerance. Make out a chart titled My Discomfort Scale. Column 1 Heading Discomfort Level under that 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Column 2 Heading Situation. "Zero represents a situation in which you experienced no discomfort at all, and 10 represents a situation in which you had extreme discomfort." In the example the 0 discomfort was watching a sitcom - the 5 discomfort was going on a job interview and the 10 example was breaking a leg. Now fill out your own Discomfort Scale chart. Step 2 involves deliberately skipping a meal and measuring how uncomfortable you feel. Chart 2 is your Hunger Discomfort Chart. Column 1 Heading Time under that - noon - 1pm - 2pm - 3pm - 4pm - 5pm - 6pm . Column 2 Current Level of Discomfort (0-10). Column 3 Heading Range of Discomfort in Last Hour (0-10). Skip lunch and record your level of discomfort that hour and each hour afterwards through 6pm and your range of discomfort that hour. This task is to help you see that hunger is never an emergency.

So far, I've been really impressed with the approach that this Beck book has had. However, if you are diabetic, I want to caution you: skipping meals can mess with your blood sugar and set an imbalance. In most people, hunger isn't an emergency, no. But in diabetics, blood sugar imbalances are, and can be life-threatening. If you have a way to track your blood sugar (a meter, for instance), if you plan to skip lunch, be certain to track your blood sugar during your fast. Skipping one meal is probably ok: we have to fast for blood work sometimes, but we need to be mindful that we watch ourselves in the process.
(I say all of this as someone who is insulin resistant thanks to PCOS and thus gets all these lectures on diabetes all the time and has to tell the nurses "I'm NOT DIABETIC! I'm at risk for it, yes, but that's why I'm doing X, Y, Z... to keep from developing it as long as possible!)
