Cohen's Lifestyle Ground Zero :)

Prefix for Cohen's Lifestyle
You're most welcome girl! ;)

Awww I really hope so!!! But I'll just wait for the week 4 mark hehe
I'm so scared of dissapointment and that I haven't lost anything (silly, I know!) so that's the main reason why I'm waiting. :)

I cant say this enough but im so happy that i took the leap and joined Cohens, Its realy making such a difference in my life-- MOOD wise and HEALTH wise!

I can't agree more!!!!! I LOVE this diet, it's so easy to follow and to prepare for it. The first week is tough, but it only gets better :D

I can't wait to share my success with you as well! :hurray:

Hehe, I'm actually a Weigh-Less group leader, been losing using their program for over a year now :)

Have an awesome weekend, later!
 
Week 3, day 25...

mmmmmm Monday--- monday monday... Im feeling a bit irritated today-- mostly with myself... Had a rather tough weekend and struggled to get throught even 5hr intervals! :banghead:

I ended up eating to may crackers both saturday and sunday-- now i feel bad about it and wish I never did :( i know its not such a big deal but I still wish I hadnt done that! I was just SO HUNGRY and with my bf eating all sorts of take-aways under my nose made it so hard for me and I felt rather deprived.. I dont like the feeling! :angelsad2: I LUCKILY STAYED WITH CRACKERS... !

Today Im sticking 100% again and going to try not to do that again! My weight in (4weeks) are coming up and Im determined to make the most of the week I have left!

Hope u all are doing ok !

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Don't be too hard on yourself. Focus on the fact that you DID NOT eat something unhealthy. I am sure your body really needed the energy and that your weight loss will not suffer for it. Excited for your weigh in, I can't wait!!!
 
Hi girl

Don't worry about the crackers - like you said, you did awesome by just staying with the crackers! And as Anke said, your body needed that energy. I've heard of people who also did this and it didn't cause any weightgain. So don't beat yourself up! You're 100% again today, so that's great ;) *hugs*

I know what you mean about the boyfriend.. Mine does the same! And the smell is driving me crazy lol. I absolutely love nuts..and it's lying around everywhere when I visit him. It's his pre-gym snack. Lol

But kudos for us for not giving in and eating the steers and nuts! Whoo hoo! :party:
We rock! ;)
Mwah
 
Goodluck

Starfish... I was hanging out checking the mail every fifteen minutes to see if the post man had been with my diet. It took a couple of times to read through the information. It is day one for me and I still am learning the do's and dont's.

Look forward to watching your progress.

By the look of things Im turning into a cracker monster! lol! No Im sure it was the damn steers that drove me off the edge! mmmmmmm! LOL! :willy_nilly:

Its not like I realy wanted it but Like you said Luvbug THE SMELL is enough to drive any dieter crazy! I was sorta glad that It wasnt me eating it-- yucky!! Im sure it wasnt that great anyways! lol! (im just going to keep telling myself that) LOL :biggrinjester:

Im determined to get my bf on the program so that I dont have to be tortured by freeken steers! LOL!

THANKS GIRLS FOR THE SUPPORT!
When the tough gets going- eat a cracker lol! I also Go nuts for NUTS! ESP CASHEWS YUMMMMMMM!
 
Satrfish- It sounds like time for a sit-down talk with the bf. If you don't have support it makes it so much harder. It shouldn't be too much of a hardship for him to not eat this stuff in front of you. I have always saved some crackers & a fruit for the end of the day. Often I ate it while everyone else was eating crap. It actually used to take away the smell of their food & damn you feel so good eating something healthy when others are eating rubbish.( Where's my halo?) I think if you have a chat to him about why you are doing what you're doing then maybe he can eat healthier when he's with you & not tempt you. Sometimes I think our partners get worried that if you become slim (& more attractive) you may look for a new partner. Sometimes they just need some reassurance.
Good for you eating crackers, not rubbish! Cheers for now, Cate
 
HI HI HI HI HI Cate!
Its so nice to hear from you! :seeya:Thank you for your post!

I can say that I have support-- the poor man tries and I think that now that I dont eat out as much as what I use to makes him a bit unsure about what exactly he is suppose to be eating! One time we were on our way back from a party and he got take-aways on the way-- I had my foodies packed! I also think that my stage of PMS didnt exactly help! I took out my cravings on my cracker quota! LOL!

I AM HAPPY THAT I DIDNT EAT ANY JUNK TOUGH- SHOE!

I have also noticed that I do best if I keep my cracker and fruit allowance to like ave and eve! I munch infront of the tv allot and it helps if there is like a apple and cracker nearby! Its easy sticking to Cohen's in the week when Im at work and away from temptations! The weekends are killers!

Hope all of you are well! Thanks for all your posts! Im back on my high horse again! YAY!

Your bf sounds sweet. My LH is always asking me if I can have something. I've confused the living daylights out of him! I confuse myself sometimes!Cheers, Cate
 
HEHEHEH ye its like -- can you have this? or maybe this, what about that? Im sure you could have that? NO the answer is no AND IT stays NO!

lol! Ye shame! Im sure that they just mean well!
im doing better today, however we have another public holiday tomorrow followed by 2 long weekends! Going to be tough!

Luckily managed to keep my cracker spree off yesterday! LOL!
Im taking it 5 hrs at a time today!

Have a fantastic day!

Hey girls! Well done for yesterday!

Hehe, my boyfriend is a funny one too... he always wants me to have little bits of treats, but asks me why I'm overeating when I start binging. Really keeps me aware and realistic, hehe. I guess it's not a bad thing to learn from some of the attitudes of the naturally skinny :p
 
Good morning Starfish and Anke! :seeya:

Yeah shame, my boyfriend does the same.. so I just told him that there's a 99% chance that I won't be able to eat what he offers me. lol
And he's constantly apologizing for eating "bad food" in front of me, and if it's tough for me he leaves the room. So sweet :D

He's constantly asking me how I'm feeling and whether I'm still positive. He's really a great supporter :)

We're so lucky to have such great partners!

Oh and Starfish..OMWWWWW -- that Mozzarella is deviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!!!! :drool5:
Thanks again! :)

Hope you have a great dayyy!!! ****
 
hehehe Im glad Luvbug that you are enjoying the Mozz! I told you its devine!
Hurray for Woolies!

I just tell my bf--- that 'when I can eat again' we can go here or there or anywhere-- and its not forever! And he has spoiled me by buying me the nicest pair of boots-- (for me doing so well) YAY! lol! BTW I dont mind! :sifone:

I just want the day to go by now so that I can go chill at home and play PS2! yay! Cold weather-- I think today is our first winter day! AAAAWWWEEEE! From here on its scarves and clowes and coats! (the cocoon phase)

To all ya fabulous ladies!

LOL, that sounds exactly like me!! ;)
It's true though, we must just stick to it! hehe

And you are right, I'm freezing my little booty off today!! Can't wait to go winter shopping and to buy smaller sizes!!

Lucky girl for the boots! I'll show my boyfriend your post.. ;) ;)
Lol

mwahh!

 
Hi Starfish- That is one thing I would really love to have! A pair of soft, black leather knee-high boots. Nice! You lucky girl! You are so right. The support of our partners is so important. Love is really what makes the world go around. I'm a firm believer in that. OK I'm an old romantic but it's a whole lot better than being a grumpy old cynic. I might just read out your post re the boots to my lovely husband. It's my birthday in a few weeks.... Mmmm.
I have been not been concentrating on the forum for the last 2 weeks as I have been focussing on helping our YS who is freaking out about his O/S trip. I can't believe he left so many things until this week. Fast forward to Saturday when he's on that plane! Cheers for now, Cate.
 
Week 4!

Hi Starfish!

Happy first day of Week 4!!! hehe

How are you girly?

Hope u have a beautiful day :D
Mwah!
Keep well xxx
