"Skinny Thinking" book club?



Recommended Posts

Hi all! On the advice of someone in another thread (I can't remember who, sorry) I have begun reading this book: http://www.amazon.com/Skinny-Thinking-Revolutionary-Permanently-Relationship/dp/1600377491

It deals with the psychological side of eating, especially for those of us who feel like we think about food a lot and overeat compulsively. It's not gimmicky so far, though I'm not that far into it yet. It occurred to me that it might be helpful to have a small group of folks reading it together and talking about it. Is anyone interested? It's available as paperback, for Kindle (my preference) or on iBooks. It may be available as an audiobook too but I'm not sure that would be the best format to get the most out of it.

If anyone is interested, just let me know. I think it would be cool to read a chapter one week, and try to apply it the next week, then read another chapter, apply that one, etc.

Well for 99 cents (Kindle edition), I'm going to check it out. I'm in if anyone wants to discuss.

Awesome. It seems a bit "pop-psy" but sort of makes sense to me so far. I have to admit I already flew through principle #1 and am reading about #2 now. I have a feeling I may have to wait some time to put these into practice since I am still so soon post-op. I'd be interested to hear what you think, as someone who is already at goal.

OK. I've downloaded it but haven't started reading yet. I'll work on it. I read The Beck Diet Solution while I was still pre-op. It had some great ideas, but I couldn't get with the program enough to get to an overweight BMI from an obese BMI.

Not WLS. It's abut changing your emotional relationship with food. It's not a diet book.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
