Hello:
I would like to make a request that we somehow set up an easy online posting board for the Beck Diet Solution.
It does not have to be “official”, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a place were people could go and post their progress, and look at eachothers progress?
I know Blogs are popular, but its not that interactive.
I think the Beck Diet folks should consider setting up an online community, or some of us out there could set up a free message board as well. Overtime it could be really useful. Its really easy to do.
Any ideas anyone?
I think it would be a great idea. That way we could help and encourage one another
A couple of other ideas…
I will look forward to hopefully some type of online message board on the BeckDietSolution website at some point.
Even a very basic thread system could really be helpful for people, maybe one thread for each day, and other general areas? (my 2 cents is the simpler set-up the better, as sometimes the “techies” get Perfectionistic, and and overcomplicate websites, thus defeating the objective).
My other 2 cents is the hardest thing for most regular people probably is going to be following through over many months, and also really understanding what Responding-Disputing is, and how VIGOROUS it has to be at times.
Perhaps one day, a few online video clips demonstrating it would help?
Or even an AUDIO clip dramatizing the process and showing the tonality, etc? Audio is easy to do, just need a mic…
How about a few Beck Diet Solution podcasts? (speaking audio-file downloads)
Any suggestions as to how a mother presents the book on “thinking like a thin person” to her daughter, without causing resentment?
Why is this blog so outdated? I come here today, Oct, 2009, to find a calendar of workshops, etc, but the comments are so outdated. Please, so many of us could benefit from being able to post on a current message board.
