Keep going - Be in control
Dear all,
It's Day 7 of no deviation and I'm proud of it. I was walking around when a sudden realization came around me. I feel much better today compared to the frustrations I felt last week. And I think the reason why I felt much better was because I was starting to have control over my life. I lost control over the Cohen program and my life when I started to give into temptations. And one temptation after another, I was completely succumbed to temptations. And when I get tempted, the guilt sets in, the weight loss slows down.
Lesson learnt, especially when I am so near my target weight... Train your brain to say no to anything that is forbidden on Cohen. I'm trying very hard to be in control, to resist temptations. I really feel so good today especially when I have 1 week of no deviations. Suddenly, the things that I know are yummy to eat do not look so yummylicious anymore. Yes, though there is a tinch of sadness, I'm telling myself, no pain, no gain.
For those who are falling off the bandwagon, do your best to get back on. It's difficult but keep trying...
As for the before and after pictures, seriously, I don't see much ifference in myself. I don't think the 2 pictures are totally different. Perhaps it's because I have been seeing myself change everyday. And I know it's for the better.
But I really do cherish your compliments. They mean so much to me and they keep me going , to even try harder. Thank you all! A big hug to all of you!
