Create Time and Energy.
You have to make time to plan meals, make lists, to shop for food, and to cook..(that sounds pretty easy, huh?..well it does take lots of time)
Remember to read your Response Cards,(the reasons you listed why YOU want to lose weight)
How about the time you need to plan how you are going to exercise and then you have to spend the time doing it..
How about your WW. meetings if you attend...takes more time...
Of course you have the usual chores around the house, working and don't forget the kids, if you have any...It all takes lots of time and planning.....
Ok, I know you are asking where you are going to get all this extra time this new "diet" is going to take..Let's see...maybe you could get up a few min. early in the morning so you could jump on the treadmill or take a walk before going to work..You might want to take a Smart One or low cal. micro dinner for lunch to save the time that packing a lunch would take...Maybe you could ask a little help from your husband or kids so you could get out of the kitchen early after dinner. You also would have less temptation in the kitchen if everyone pitched in and help clear the table and load the dishwasher...
How about if we make a schedule for the day, hour by hour...Plan the night before so you know exactly what you will be doing each hour..You might have to give up a little on doing other things, but aren't YOU worth it????? By organizing the day, you will accomplish much more than if you just did whatever jumped in your mind...You will be surprised at how much you have squeezed into the day..Getting organized is one of the most important things you can do you help yourself.. You may have to reduced some activities to make room for more healthy ones, but you will get a big reward at the end.

This lesson was not as difficult for me as others. Where I get hung up is the follow through on my plan. What this lesson did challenge me with is that the time and energy commitment goes beyond eating differently. It also includes meal plans, making lists, shopping, cooking, eating mindfully, exercising, doing my CT-BDS exercises, and the mental energy to counter sabotaging thoughts.
Thought: I like to give M. choices for dinner, I never know if he feels like grilling or wants something specific.
Response: Until I've developed a routine, I can't rely on spontaneous shopping and spontaneous food preparation.
Thought: “I don’t have time.”
Response: I am taking care of myself. If I don’t matter to me, I won’t be available to matter to anyone.
Response: It isn’t reasonable for me to sacrifice my needs.
Response: It might be more accurate to say that I’m not willing to make the time. If I had to get a blood transfusion every day to keep myself alive, obviously I’d find the time.
Aimee, I have been piggy-backing on your blog as a place for me to write me lessons. I have now figured how to get my blog going and have copied my lessons into their appropriate days. (Lessons, Thoughts, and Dreams ... GatewayDreamer). If you want to edit the comments that were generally about the lesson and not specific to you, that would be fine with me. I'll continue to read your blogs here and on your own site. Hope your vacation was fun.
