Start of my Diary

[DeDe23]

Hi to all.

I have no idea how to start this but here goes.
Been here for a couple of wks posting on Cohens Support. I thort instead of dumping all my stuff there i might just come here, write it down and just basic stuff there. Sorry Cohens for putting u thru long posts for so long.

Well, me: Im 24, start weight was 92.82kg and im now about 85.5kg (weigh in tomoz). Finiding the program gd- lacking motivation to eat all the food as i dont get hungry. Not comfort eater- one bonus i guess. I hate water and struggling to drink it. The weather plays a role- too cold! Come on summer.

Aim: by the end of October, want to be back to 60 if not a lil lower. Depends how i look- if i look too skinny i will stay at 60. Ideal is 60-63kg according to Cohens so i guess they know what it should be. I can always redo the program (i own the copy) if i need to lose a kg or 2 at the end.

I have intention of having a reveal night and have my family there to see how i have changed and that i do have an ok body!! I want to show it off- i want ppl to go 'Oh my' , 'is that really Dee???'. I want to have someone admire me for once. I even looked at dresses today for the perfect one. Im pretty sure i know what it looks like but just have to see how it fits. I want it to look gd as well as show off my new body- not flash skin but im sure i know what u mean. Get the looks, comments and maybe a phone number or two

Well, i better go get tea on- mmm chicken with vegies. I am just tired tonight. Get some water into me and ready for tomorrows weigh in.

Hey DeDe,
you are doing really well and planning a reveal is a great motivational goal. Trying on different dresses will be great fun, especially as your body changes and last week's dress no longer fits. Make sure you try on things that you would never have worn before as I bet one of these is what you buy. You will need to recreate your style to suit the new shaped you.

I know you hate water but it is the key tp everything! So just DRINK!

Off Diet and sux big time

Jude: Thanx for ur entry and was gr8 to get a bit of advice. I am pretty set in my ways with clothes but i realise i will have to change my ways for when i get smaller. I looked at different style dresses and they were ones i WOULDNT wear now. No hope in hell!! I guess its a confidence thing and i will have to try things on for size and fit etc. I even went to look at bikini's while waiting for blind date yest!! Im shocked at the ones i looked at! But hey, i will be looking mighty fine when i walk in and buy it!! Cheers. Your doing well too, keep it up!

Well, i have been off diet since yest and i feel crappy. I have to be for surgery on Monday (7am for god sakes!!) for my knee. I havent gone crazy with food. I had a couple capachinos yest (with equal) and had a small bowl of tuna pasta bake for tea last night with about 5-6 salt vinigar chips, and a finger bun while watching a movie. I havent deviated too much but consultant said to have a bit of this and that- just not to stray too much. I havent i dont think. But, my body has felt the difference yest and this morn- stomach playing up and feel a lil ughhh. Cant wait to get back to the diet Wed!! I had to have a wk off but it wil be a lil less then that cos i didnt want to regain much weight so 4 days in all!

Ohhhh, i went on a date yest and i am so suprised as to how he reacted! It was a blind date but it was ok cos i felt better for self and just in self. Anyways, he knows i was on the diet so it was ok too from that perspectve. At the start he didnt seem too interested but he was meant to be gone by 4.30pm to go to the AFL game in Adelaide but when that time came, he ordered more capachinos and we left hr later! And i went to pay for mine (i always offer) he said 'Na, u get it next time'. We walked to cars (in same vacinity) and he gave me a hug and kiss gdbuy and i just said to giv me a buz if he wanted to catch up, cos i did! I walked to car all happy and grinning ear to ear!!!!! He smsed me and said thanx for arvo he thort it was gr8! Also the hug was a lil more comforting then when we met. We kept busting each other looking at the other person! Oh my god! Cute guy wanting to c me!!! WOW. Just stoked.

Oh well such is life I guess weight loss has advantages hey. Well, got Sax lesson soon so better get up (its 11.30am!) Keep up gd work ppls.!!!

Day of Surgery

Hi to all.

Just getting ready for bed and thort i wld drop a line and jott down a bit about what i did today since i wont be here for a few days til i get home from hospital.

I had music lesson and wasnt too flash- more practise- although i blame cutting my finger open while packing up the Sax in a hurry this morn on a spring- its more likely that it has more to do that i didnt practise.

I went looking for a reveal dress- have a few in mind but its got the potential to cause a vocano to rupture- yes they are hot! i intend to be a 10-12 so i will have a bit to choose from and i think i will be able to look gr8.

My mum and i went shopping, picked up bargains and then had lunch. Cos i am off Cohens for 4days for surgery, i had a healthy hamburger but im having trouble in stomach. Its a gd thing cos i know i am not going to like the food when i finish. Its just now i have to deal with the stomach issues now- i have reflux and stuff- annoying. I tried Salt and vinegar chips but cldnt get past 5-6. Relief hit but oh god. I think the diet is gr8 for me- helps me to eat properly as i have only had 2 meals in 2 days so i wanna get back to normal Cohens lifestyle program ASAP so i can have 3 meals a day and feel a lil better. Just 2 more days to go!

The BIG DAY OF SURGERY in a few hours (8hrs)- well have to be there by 7am and i have to get up at 5am to leave by six. I hate taxi's- they are a pure rip off. $30 both ways for me. Grrrr. Lucky mum is catching a bus home to the door- wlda cought the bus into city but not running at that time. Enuf of my wingeing- souldnt complain- worse ppl then myself.

Night and report in prob Tuesday.
