ood morning! I've been lurking here for some time and had the Beck books for a while (read several times). I think I'm ready to do this. I'm at my highest weight ever right now (180) after 3 kids in 3 years (2.5 year old and 9 month old twins).

I've been in a terrible habit the last year of eating whenever I was tired and stressed -- between that, lack of sleep, a full-time job and the kids I haven't been able to stick to healthy eating. (Excuses, I know.)

I think the biggest obstacles I have is lack of a buddy. I'm also uncomfortable telling people that I'm trying to lose weight (again) after failing so many times.

So I'm not sure exactly how to use/contribute to this group, just that I was excited to find other people who have used Beck, because she really resonates with me.

And, on the occasion of your first post,

Congrats for producing three kids so close in age. Suspect they keep you pretty busy.

There are a group of us who follow the strategies of Dr. Judith Beck posting regularly on a monthly Beck thread, the current one being the November Beck Thread. Look it over and feel free to jump right in to join the discussion.

Glad that you've joined us.
