The Beck Diet Solution is a program designed to deal with some of the thoughts and behavior that accompany weight loss. On the first day, the reader is charged with creating a list of reasons for wanting to lose weight. Here is my list:
1. God commands that I honor him with my body and live a self-controlled life.
2. I'll have fewer aches and pains.
3. I'll have more energy.
4. I'll feel more confident.
5. My clothes will fit better.
6. I'll feel in control.
7. I'll be less self-critical.
8. I'll be happier with how I look.
9. I will have a better "testimony" with regard to my weight.
10. I will have improved health.
11. I'll model health to my children.
