Hi all!

I started Dr. Cohens diet last yr. In my first six months I lost 23kgs! But that was six months ago and I have not lost anything since. I cannot stick to the diet 100%.....in between christmas holidays and moving in with my boyfriend...things have gone pear shape! Although I have not put on any weight I am determined to finish this diet!

I have never completed a diet before but then again I have only ever tried one other diet!

So what do I find difficult about sticking to this 100%?
1. remembering the feeling of standing on the scale every month and seeing a new lower weight!
2. going to the shops and trying on a new size of clothing and finding out that it actually fits! (I have dropped 4 dress sizes so one would think i would remember how good that made me feel)
3.my biggest problem is going home after work and on my way home im already thinking about food! I thought this diet would help curb my unhealthy relationship with food...
4.I always think...'i can stick to the diet tomorrow, its so easy afterall' ...tomorrow never comes!


So I have recently started doing tae-bo in the hope that it will get my mind off food. These lessons are done 4 times a week, 6pm-7pm (the time at which im bored and thinking of food the most). I dont think i should go all 4 days because im worried it might affect the amount of weight i loose (afterall it is not recommended u exercise on this diet if you havent before)

I have also started this diary in the hope that it will help me! I have'nt tried a forum like this before so here is hoping it works! I guess having lots of people to report to might just spur me on over my last few hurdles!

I have 13kgs to go before re-feeding!! I have lost 23kgs! so i am so close!!!
I need to get my head in gear!!! this is really meant to be the easiest part!!
 
Well I barely made it through the weekend but glad to report that I managed to loose 1kg! Still impressive even though i did go out for coffee with a friend! But i was amazingly good ( i really wanted to have a hot chocolate with Lindt chocolate)

The weekends seem to be the hardest for me...having all that free time is never a good thing when on a diet

but now my focus is this week as im going for my weigh in on saturday morning!!!...eek
 
Well last night was interesting! I stuck to the diet...the only deviation i had was a slimmer's hot chocolate...it was hard! I kept having to tell myself that I cant cheat now! I kept myself busy with reading and away from the kitchen!
I seem to enjoy having mozarella cheese, mushrooms and green pepper for supper (on 2 cracker breads)

I do get hungry from around 3pm these days. It could be thats it winter right now and one tends to get hungry quickly then. But when i get home i just drink 500ml of water and have fruit. Everytime I feel like eating something I shouldnt I have a fruit instead.

Im hoping this gets easier when I find my routine again!
 
ok so today i didnt have a good day. I am on course for the next 2 weeks and cant take my own lunch. Its terrible and I have been doing so well these past few days! And what makes it worse is that I have a weigh-in on saturday morning

So I am really trying not to eat too much starch...and you know that when you eat something that is not part of the diet the weight just piles on!!

Im not looking forward to my weigh-in :mad:
 
Well I am back to square-one...how frustrating!! i am still on course this week and I put on weight this weekend! (being on course last week just did not help my cause!)
But I am determined to not eat any starch this week or any sugar! so will see how that goes!

I hate this stop-start feeling...its driving me crazy....
 
Well went in to wiegh on saturday morning, lost 900g which was not a big surprise. But i did mange to loose 8cm!!! i was so happy abt that, it means that tae bo is working for me!!

so its the start of another week, Im hoping to loose abt 2kgs.....and a total of 5kg for the month....i dont know if im being overly optimistic....but will see how it goes :)

It seems to be getting easier during the week...but my weekends are still a killer...im beginning to realise that i am a binge eater....how do i break that habit!!!
 
Last night i didnt stick to the diet....not completly anyways...i had a good reason! i finally have my masters degree! and that is such a huge relief that I had to celebrate...I know ppl say try to substitute something other than food when you trying to celebrate and I did try. So instead of buying a cake where i would have left overs I bought sponge finger cake....there were only 5 pieces (small) and i only had 2.5....it was too good to resist!! i know..im a weakling when it comes to chocolate!

I am just so sensitive when it comes to carbs and chocolate...So no loss for yesterday but i didnt put on anything.
 
I have been feeling so lazy these past days that I havent gone to tae bo...And it actually does help because i did manage to loose centimetres!! And besides being lazy its also really cold...I hate winter for that...after loosing so much weight it seems that I cant regulate my body temperature as well as i used to...

I also had a about 2 tablespoons of pasta last night....and when i weighed myself this morning there was no change to my weight loss..I cant believe that so little pasta has such a drammatic effect on weight loss....I really should go back to tae bo and give my metabolism a kick start
 
I have never felt so disheartened before...I seriously have no idea what's wrong with me! I am really struggling to get back onto the diet...last night i have crumbed chops for dinner. Starch!!!

I cant get my mind around this...two weeks ago i was doing so well, then i went on course for 2 weeks and now I have lost 3 weeks on this diet...time that i will never get back. I have told myself that i want to be done by september! that is creeping up on me so fast! and trying to loose 12 kgs in that small amount of time is crazy...doable but crazy!!!
 
I finally went back to tae bo last night!! oh my god!! was it difficult! But now i have that bug back and am quite keen to go back for more 'punishment'

I really enjoyed exercising after such a long break!
