Cohen's Lifestyle I may be young but I realize what I can accomplish

Prefix for Cohen's Lifestyle
LuvBug. Thanks for the welcome. I appreciate it. I really need to stay motivated to do this. I think i can I think i can .... I think I can .....
 
Day two... Sexy lol. A good day. I did have to take a nap in the middle of the day which is bad. But I did weight 2 1/2 hours plus before taking a nap. So that is good. Im so ready to get through this week and then the next and the next lol. I want to be on that super sexy lol
Well hope everyones day has been great.
:auto: racing to the finish.
 
Napping is good in the first week!!!!

Definitely have a goal of what you want to be - helps to make it all the more real, and you will get the excitement when you see the dream starting to come true.

If you can get through the first few days, you can get through anything!!!!
 
Im so excited. I will say today was the first time I got hungry after eating dinner. But I cannot eat anymore today so im just trying to chill out and drink the last of my water and then I will go to sleep. So im just trying to make it through today. But all in all today was a good day .. YAY:biggrinjester:
 
Hi Yukio, I always tried to save a piece of fruit & one lot of crackers to have an hour or two after my dinner & often ate them in alternate mouthfuls (sounds weird I know). It makes you feel better knowing you have something left for the evening. It sounds like you are over the worst of it now. What did you have for dinner btw? Some things make me hungry almost straight away. Seafood is one. I'm just curious really. Cheers, Cate
 
I ate prawns for dinner last night and the night before but only felt hungry yesterday. I thought that you had to eat the last of your food before 9pm or am I just not getting it right. Today was kinda dumb of me/ I made half a tomato with a bit of mozzarella for lunch. But I also made one for my daughter. Well after I finished mine I ate the cheese off hers because she didnt want it. So now I feel like an idiot.
I dont think my husband quite gets that I really really want to lose the weight so he just told me its ok. its not going to hurt you. So maybe I should be logging in here more often as my husband is just not getting it.:banghead:
 
Your husband no doubt loves you and wants you to feel good. So accept his good will, but you dont' have to listen to that bit!!!! Husbands always feel under pressure to "get it right" with the comments, so the pressure is to make you feel better, no matter what. Besides, they are from Mars and always have to "solve problems".

You feel bad. But it's not the end of the world - just get up and keep to the plan tomorrow. It won't make a massive difference if it's a once-off. The only thing that breaks is your peace of mind, not the diet, so don't worry too much - just decide you won't do that again and that's that!

We all have teething problems - and one of my biggest was also feeling like I was "wasting food" if it was not eaten. I could throw out a few vegies, but throwing out something "good" felt terrible. I've now learnt that the food I valued as "good" was really "not good" and the stuff I DIDN'T feel bad about throwing out is really the "good stuff". It's all a brain training game.

Luckily we have chooks and dogs, so between the two, I never truly feel too bad about "wasted food".
 
Yeah the hubs loves me and is just trying to help :blush5: HOWEVER.... his helping is bad lol.
But yeah I felt really bad about eating just that little weency bit of cheese. But Ive decided im not going to kill myself over it lol. Im just going to move on. I thought I was strong willed apparently not to much. But i think this week should be easier to get through.
I now know I have fallen for the tomato and mozzarella so I will probably eat that everyday for awhile so I can get it out of my system. But i do know I cannot make more then what I make for myself. So hopefully I will get back on track ...
WEEE... hopefully losing weight.
Thanks for the support I really need it in times like this. Where I feel like a dummy >.<
 
Ok so i totally know i wasnt suppose to weigh myself today but I needed a kinda pick me up. I had to give my puppy away so I was feeling depressed.
Well i weighed myself and I am down 4 kilos. Mind you this is also from before the start of the program I weened myself off of some things.
So im feeling good about losing weight but bad about weighing myself before hand. But atleast I know im losing weight.
:biggrinjester:
 
if you need to weigh yourself to pick yourself up, go ahead and do it. It is better to do that than to be depressed and risk deviation for comfort. It is afterall a difficult time to give up your puppy.

For me, I need to resist weighing because I tend to slack when I see good results. Everyone is different.
 
At the start it doesn't do much harm, because the first week the losses are good. It tends to do the head in later, because the losses slow down, you retain fluid during PMT and all that, so you can needlessly panic.

I make myself weigh only once per week, but once I did do a mid-week one because I was fretting around end of month and wanted to see if fluid disappeared once EOM came (it did). But I can handle the stress of seeing the scale result only once per week.

As Fornight said, it depends how you operate, but I could not handle seeing daily fluctuations - I would get too upset.
 
I wont weight myself everyday but more every other week or so. But i needed a pick me up today. So i weighed. And Im very happy about that. I also found out roasted tomato are very very delicious lol. So all in all im pretty happy. But im hoping it will stay this way today. YAY. lol. SO ready to get the rest off.
Going to do some squats today. Im excited:hurray:
 
Yukio, Try really hard not to worry about everything. It will get easier as you go. I am so glad that I don't have the TOM or EOM any more though. There are some advantages of being older! I'm sorry if I seemed to go on about the deviating thing. It's just a dangerous way of thinking & your friends will find that out for themselves in the long run.
Weighing every week may set you back psychologically when one week you may think that you have not lost enough. As you know we work in 4 week cycles. Using a tape measure is always best & only weighing once a month at this stage. Enough nagging! I'll go away now! (lol at myself!) Cheers Cate
 
Yeah I probably wont weigh myself every week but every couple of weeks instead. And the deviation thing dont worry im not even thinkin about that. :coolgleamA: It was just a question that I had.
I just needed a pick me up. Today was just so sad. I felt horrible after having to give up our puppy. And then I had an ultrasound for a lump that I had found. So i needed a boost.
But now I think im just going to do what I can 100% for the diet. And see where I go from there. I think I will be very happy with the results. Im so excited for time to fly. But as long as I find something else I like alot to eat then I think It will get better.
Im on the road to success:driving:... How corny huh lol:newbie: lol. But i just find it very hard to have none tasty things.
Well im gonna get out of here. Thanks again for the help.
 
Now that you HAVE weighed, you will have the confidence that it is working - so determine to forget "the numbers" and enjoy - in time - the clothes! Just repeat to yourself every single day "It IS working, it IS working" - positive reinforcement works wonders.

We end up losing fat all over no matter what the numbers on the scale say.
 
Yeah I certainly have the confidence. And the will power since there is a snicker bar in my nightstand and I havent ate it yet lol:hat: I LOVE THEM lol. Only candy that tastes semi the same as in the USA lol. But Im doing good and I know... If im good during the day then I have have a stuffed tomato. But if Im not good then I dont get one. So ive been being good for the stuffed tomato. Im so in love with them lol:reddevil:
 
In another month or so (as long as it's not PMT week) you will look at the Snickers and wonder why it had such a hold over you!!!!!!!

This, from the biggest chocolaholic in the southern hemisphere - yours truly.
 
LOL. I hope so. But it does call to me... Im so weird lol. But I like the tomato more lol. I think that is so odd.. But hey im not a normal person either. YAY FOR TOMATO:hurray:
 
Yukio- Do yourself a very big favour. Pick up that Snickers bar & either throw it in the bin, after destroying it or give it to someone else. Watch them eat it if you want but don't buy any more until after Cohen's when you will find that you probably won't want one.
