Allyson - I always say that I've gained and lost a small (or maybe not so small) person over my lifetime. Sad to say! Glad you found Beck. It has helped me alot. I got a little derailed but now I'm back on track and looking forward to running to healthy with you!

What the idea behind "Naturally Thin"?

Thank you for the warm welcome!

I had done a search for a Naturally Thin team last night and I had nothing come up...I wonder why? So, I created my own team for this and of you're interested, you can get to it through my SparkPage. I am the only there so far but I already created ngoals, a few topics and 2 additional forums appropo to NT specifically.

I checked out the team you are on right now for Naturally Thin from your SparkPage and see there are only 15 members there and not a whole heck of a lot going on.

In any case, it's GREAT to find this team as well as you are correct...both the Beck book and the NT book are all about common sense and deal with the real issues concerning weight control (and any other kind of issue in your life for that matter, whether it be finances, relationships, etc). It's not about the food or the money or the other people, it's all about YOU and YOUR way of thinking!

I don't know about you, but I find this extremely freeing and really the missing pieces I've been searching for in my quest for better health. Great to meet you!

Warmest welcome.

The Beck principles appeal to my common sense, and the members are helpful and supportive.

I'm also reading Bethenney Frankel's 'Naturally Thin' which also appeals to my common sense. I'm a member of the Naturally Thin SP team which is not as active as I would like, but you may want to check it out.

Again, warmest welcome.

I've been on countless diets and lost and gained more weight over the course of my lifetime than I care to think about! In my quest to end the dieting game for good, I came across this book and it really has been great! I am using it in conjunction with Bethenney Frankel's 'Naturally Thin' and truly believe it has been a win-win combination for me.
