Cohen's Lifestyle Deviation!

[adrienne84]

HI all,
So after promising so faithfully that i could do it i walked into the shopping center with my boyfriend today and ate red rooster! Gods what is wrong with me i have no will power. I don't understand i kicked drugs and drinking and smoking! but food seems to be giving me more trouble than all of them put together. i know i should not beat myself up and just dust off and move on, but i have a guilty conscience and had to admit my guilt to someone.
I have no excuse, however by bf makes it very hard even after i explained to him why i have to do this. The thing is i cannot have children and i am hoping that this program will up my chances even 1% and i will be happy.

I am heartily ashamed of myself.

Hi Adrienne, It sounds like you may benefit from some professional counselling. It's great that you have succeeded in kicking drugs, alcohol & smokes. That is really admirable- good for you! Time for some outside help I think. We don't change our views of ourselves over-night. Self-esteem or lack of it is usually at the heart of most of our problems. Are you in Australia? There is a program available through Medicare, if your doctor will put you on it, where you can get up to 5 free counselling or other medical services a year. You would need to tell your doctor everything probably to get on it. It's certainly worth a try. I know that it helped me a lot.
I can't get you back on track with weight-loss as it;s entirely up to you. It's your choice & is within your power to change. You have proved that already. Take that next step & commit to losing weight. No-one should be able to sway you from your path if you want it enough. Cohen's was originally set up specifically to treat women's fertility. Give it your best shot. I would seriously consider getting help with the emotional side. All the best with it Adrienne, xo Cate
PS It is probably a good idea to start a diary & type in it every day. Express how you're feeling. Think about your triggers. Putting it out there helps you to think more about what you're doing & why. It's a start. We'll be here to offer support.

HI there First of all congratulations on kicking all of thoes bad habits and also beginning to kick this one. I think your boyfriend should try and understand why you are doing this and he should have enough respect for you that he will not lead you astray, but motivate you and also try and choose healthy options like you. Diets aren't meant to be easy, just think to youself "it will all be there when you are done" and you can do it guilt free, too.
