Diet is a Bad Word

Its so funny how every one is so down on diets. Even the commercial diets!
Weight watchers has big ads all over the place that say. QUIT DIETING.

Every diet I read about claims “this is not a diet, it’s a way of life”

18 years ago I was on the “nutrition” team at our church in Nebraska.
Our church had a school, counseling clinic, and medical clinic in the same building.
We ministered on “teams” according to these areas. My husband, a physician, was on the medical team and so was I, conveniently I had a nutrition degree and was interested in that area. A dietician from our church worked at the clinic and lead the team. She introduced us to a new idea for weight management. It was the idea that our bodies would tell us how much food we need by our hunger if we would learn to listen to it.

Then when Weigh Down came along it had somewhat the same idea (but with the salvation losing heresy)

This has been part of my struggle to stay on a diet. In the middle of it when the going gets rough I think, “this does not feel right, I should be able to do this without all these food rules” then I eat a cake.

I think my problem is that I think it should be easy.

I am in search of the key that will just make it easy! Dr. Beck says otherwise. So does Jesus. I am called to take up my cross and follow Him. A tad ouchy. Both say it will get easier…Jesus: take my yoke upon you and learn from me..my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Dr.Beck: “If you follow the 42 steps in the six week Beck Diet Solution Plan you will find that dieting is easier than it has ever been in the past.”
