"Skinny Thinking" book club?



Recommended Posts

Have you guys started reading it? I'm curious what you thought of the ego/inner child stuff? It sounded odd to me at first, but I have been having a lot of "eye hunger" and have been able to use the "that's just the child" trick several times now.

Interesting idea. Maybe we can choose to discuss on the weekend. In Australia so I'm 15 hours ahead of you guys.

Or maybe we can just discuss as we finish a part. Who has already finished step 1?

Where did you find the workbook? That might be a good way to do it.

Well I guess the book club didn't work. I finished the book and it has some food things and some things that didn't connect with me. I most liked the idea of taking our Ideas and beliefs "to inquiry" and asking if we know they are true or if the opposite could be true. I am not sure if her hard line on abstinence is the only way to go. I did think her idea that hunger is healthy in small doses is also a good one.

      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.
