Southern Cooking and Thinking Thin?

I’m visiting relatives in Georgia this week. Ever eaten good southern cooking? Then you know that fried foods, black eyed peas, collared greens, okra, corn bread and sweet tea are staples to many a meal. I’ve had challenges and pitfalls.
Frustration and resignation appeared and I remembered my friend who lost 40 pounds this past year by ‘thinking like a thin person’. She credits the Beck Diet Solution! According to Amazon.com “any sensible diet will help you lose weight, but the challenge for 90% of Americans is actually staying on the diet they choose. …Dr. Beck, one of the foremost authorities in the field of Cognitive Therapy …created a … plan …[to] help people stick with their diet, lose weight with confidence, and keep weight off for a lifetime.”
This week I’ve added the goal of wearing a bikini (and looking great in it) by June 15th. This is simply a milestone to inspire me to stay on track. What I’m really up to is creating a sustainable fitness and nutrition lifestyle and I can see where the Beck Diet Solution is a natural addition to (my already) raw food exploration and regular exercise. It’s time to think thin!!
