Its rare, but occasionally there is someone else out there who realises that 


1.  diets don't work, 
2.  a change in thinking must be accompanied by a change in behaviour 
3.  and generally believes in the ability of people to be good to themselves.


Dr Judith Beck is the daughter of the creator of cognitive-behaviour therapy (Dr Aaron Beck) - impressive pedigree.  She wrote a great book in 2007 entitled The Beck Diet Solution (shameless self-promotion in the title I know!) which is not a diet book but a book about changing thinking and, therefore, behaviour. You go Dr B!


The reason I'm sending a shout out is their Facebook page entitled Beck Diet Solution.  Each day, they post a "sabotaging thought" and a "helpful" or "rational response".  Sometimes I think they're reading my mind!


Check it out, "like" it if you like it, and get (for free) some solution-focused alternatives to all those boring, negative, self-defamatory comments that rattle around in your head all the time................or is that just me?
