I started reading M. Beck's book on using Cognitive Behavior

Therapy (CBT) as a way to change your thought and change your life relating to eating habits and dieting. The book instructed me to write on an index card each day for 2 weeks affirmations and read them every day to help me change my thinking about losing weight. The second day was interesting. She said to be aware of all of the times we eat standing up and write a card about it. After I did that, I was uncomfortable each time I put something in my mouth while I was standing up. The goal is to notice the behavior first and then notice it enough to change it. I think CBT for anything is better than psychotherapy. Now I am going to finally register for fall classes to embark on my next journey into the MSW program.
