Cohen's Lifestyle Bee's diary - My cohens journey

Prefix for Cohen's Lifestyle
Had another outing that was dedicated to food..an engagement party, so many people said they didnt recognise me. I'm still having issues taking compliments about my weight its something I havent had to deal with all my life and now they want to talk about it all the time...how I have done it which I dont mind talking cohens until someone knows someone that has done it all before and put it all back on!!! Grwll I never have the heart to ask if they knew whether the person did it throu to re-feed. Did they think that after Cohens you can consume all the junk food that you can fit in your stomach. Enough of my rant....Today is day 1 of my new Cohens metafore I was starting to lose the plot with Cohens thinking sneaking bits and pieces shouldnt hurt but it does!!. I have made an appointment with my consultant next week and I think I am going to do weekly appointments again just until I lose another 10 kilos ...I'll try and pretend that I have the "I have just started stamina" .
Ohh well enough of me:) I'll go and drink another litre of water

YOU GET BACK ON THAT WAGON GIRLY !!!!!!!

Good on you Bee for seeing the error of your ways, and taking the steps to correct it. We are on one mighty big mental challenge here, and taking the initiative to speak to your consultant on a weekly basis is a great first step. You'll have that 100% determination back in no time.

I'm a little funny about the comments re. the weight loss too. I hate people making a big deal about things regarding me, and even though the only one who has really done it is my mum, which is fine, but she did it in public last weekend and started pointing it out to people...i was so embarrassed, but i guess as more weight falls off, it's going to happen more too.

Keep up the great work hun. I'm so proud of you and you'll be in the 70's before you know it...xxxx
 
Hi Bee, it must feel so good (on some level-- the not embarrassed one! )-- to have all your hard work noticed! I can't wait to reach that point...

Good job coming back on board! I'm sending good thoughts, stamina, and willpower your way...

BTW, how did the inlaws respond to the new improved you?
 
Hi BeeG,

Good for you getting back on to it, you are so nearly there and have your weight loss so far is fantastic. Just start fresh and before you know it, you will be ordering re-feed. All the lovely compliments you have been receiving you must be looking so good, keep up the great work!
Imagine next time you see these people, their jaws will drop down as you will be looking sooooooooo much better.
Be the one they talk about when they have their Cohens story, when they say "Oh i know someone who did Cohens and they lost so much weight and kept it off" they will be talking about you!

Good Luck, you know what you have to do to make it happen!

Thanks girls..it is a hard thing to get into your mind that YES we are shrinking and we have worked hard and "I" should stand up tall and say thank you for the comments instead of thinking HOW did I ever get that big.
Minny: My little cheer leader...hope wok is treating you ok
BabyFatNo More:The Inlaws are due back on sunday so it will be interesting to see them again.
Annie:Thanks for the words of wisdom..I will be the girl that lost it on cohens all those years ago and kept it off..positive thoughts. Yes and re-feed is so close..I think they said at 71 kilos so only a few good months of loss away!
DH made me go to an ANZAC day parade and took a photo of me on my phone with daughter, It was the first time I looked at myself and neally had to look twice cause it didnt look like the old fat me, it must take the mind a little bit more time to catch up.
Ahh enough for me

Happy that I did Cohens instead of Biggest Loser, Laura lost less than me and it has been the same time I started..Than goodness I have only stepped into a gym once since starting Cohens :)
 
BeeG, it really blows the mind when we see photos of the new and improved us. It took me awhile for the brain to catch up with the rest of me. Whilst we look in the mirror daily, I find that I don't tend to notice the loss significantly, it's only when I see a photo of myself that I really notice the difference.
I'm so pleased that you are back on the wagon. Don't sweat over Easter, it is long gone now. Less than 15kgs until refeed, way to go girlie. Print off that photo of you at the march and put it on the fridge next to a before photo. See how much incentive that gives you to nibble ;) . Keep up the good work, you are so close and we will organise that cuppa one day soon.

Dear Bee G

Well done so good to see your progress!!!:D :D
We started a week apart with the same goal!!!
I wondered if this is your own or the cohen set goal?
Keep up the great work its certainly worth it isn't it.

Cheers Nonna

Minny has inspired me to kick this little diary back into action and I think I need too just to try and inspire and nut all my problems out before jumping at the solution of eating.
I was doing so well and then one day I had one of my daughters biscuits and then I ate the packet (I have decided that I have no will power). Then it was the lollies that sit on my desk at work...I had one and then I ate the bowl. So by eliminating all the nice lollies and buying horrid ones I have no interest in I am achieving better results.
Back on the wagon yet again...I hear people sighing yes I am.....and I will be staying on it till refeed not one deviation because one will lead to a week and then a month and I will be on cohens forever. My ticker has slightly changed and not for the better I think I will leave it because it shows what I can do if I put my head down.
Its hard not to be inspired by the great losses on this site and the fact I cannot bring it to my headspace that I could possibly reach goal.
On a better note I enjoyed shopping the other day...when I asked for help the shop assistant asked what size I was ..I had to explain I wasnt too sure she said ohh you are a 12 if not an 11, that was freaky but nice. Ohh well I will remember things like that along with the guy at the pub on Saturday nite that said you look amazing...I said what was wrong before and her said well you were a fat pig...truth hurts but he was right..the fact he was packing a few too many kilos made me turn around and said I was but I am no longer in denile like some :rotflmao:
Oh well I have decided at the end of my many entrys to get me to the end of this journey I am going to put something I have always wanted to do but my weight stopped me and hopefully achieve them all.
