Back on Track

Kannadew, thank-you, thank-you, thank-you. I got so much from your post and you are inspirational. Especially as you had medical issues hindering you.
The justification for deviating is being wiped from my doubting head as I type.

I had my app. with my consultant this morning and I have lost another 13cm's from the main measurements. I haven't hopped on teh scales and don't plan to until next thursday when it will be one month for me.

I'm making chicken laksa for lunch and prawn salad for tea. Oh and I found a little deli that has italian mozerella and I will try this one to see if I like it. My consultant said that Devondale is nice to.

I'm sitting here sipping my long black coffee...mmmm I bought my self fresh ground Lavazza and it's devine.
 
Hello! I have just been catching up on your progress and your doing awesome! Congratulations. ;)
 
I had one of the best lunches yet. Here's what I did;
de-stalked 2 medium sized mushrooms and layed them upside down on baking paper on a tray.
Then I weighed out my mozerella and mixed with the rest of my vegies, onion, tomatoe, spring onion and a little capsicum.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and squish into the mushroom cups.
I baked it in the oven for about 20 minutes.

I ate it with 2 vitawheats and it was devine.

I had the usual ovulation migraine last night. I knew i wouldn't be able to get up for my early shift at 6am this morning so I rang in last night. I took 2 mersyndol and finally got to sleep.
I had an awful dream as DH went to a pub last night and so my dream was about him with some young chick. It was awful but in amonst all the pain he caused I was like 'well I'm getting skinny and when he sees me skinny he'll be so pissed off that he left me'. How insecure is that?
They say that if you have dreams like that it's not that your scared they will leave it's that you yourself has thoughts it may be you who wants to stray....hmmmmm
Don't get ne wrong, I love my hubby with all my heart but sometimes he is so uncaring and thoughtless it sh*ts me.
So I've woken up and had an omellette for breaky. We are off to Melbourne to a friends son's 1st birthday. I'll eat lunch on the way and take my prawn and salad with me. It won't be so bad as another of her friends is doing it and we can support each other. You can see us there nibbling on our saladas.....LOL
 
Hi Moi:)

Hi I have been keeping track of your diary and you are doing so well. I wish you were around when I was first doing Cohens....your recipes sound extremely yummy ( very inventive) I will try that mushroom one.
Men are not prone to sensititvy that is for sure.....has your hubby been noticing the weightloss???? He will soon and he won't want to take his eyes or hands off you.
Keep up the great work I can tell you are going to do really well even with the deviations its all about overcoming and getting on with it.....isn't.
Look forward to your next post.

Sam:)
 
Sam, thank-you for popping in and checking out my journey. Hubby can notice the weight loss already but he isn't a very vocal man...

So I had another migraine last night and had to take mersyndol. So i woke at 1am and went to the loo and was ravenous. I ate a handful of bbq shapes. Now I feel like a fraud but omg they tasted so good. I have decided to have a stradegy in place for this sort of thing......don't bl**dy do it Erica....!!!!!
I have to look at how the weight is coming off me and not be so stupid next time. Like many of you have said before that once you deviate, no matter how small, it opens the door to happen again.
 
I wanted to ask if anyone else has little deviation like me?
I feel like a failure because I can't stick to the program 100%.
 
Hey SM...

I have had a couple of deviations... very early on... they were ones I deliberately chose with friends I hadnt seen in 13 years...

I dont think you should FEEL like a failure though... do you keep getting back up? do you keep trying? I think it is a matter of getting through a Day at a time and ticking that off in your diary as 100% done and then tackling the next day and then before you know it you will be weeks into it without deviating. Take it meal by meal and temptation by temptation. But you can do this. Remember the saying:

NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS SLIM FEELS (OR WILL FEEL) and believe me its TRUE

Blessya

Thank-you Kannadew, I am focused now and seeing great results which helps.

So I have gone 3 days without deviations and feeling good. I wlaked into my pottery class this morning and everyone went wow you are getting slimmer. It's funny because other people don't say anything even though they know I am doing it.
I have been having bad headaches for the past week almost and I am about to take 1/2 a mersyndol with panadol because I have to work and couldn't function with this headache.
My dad had an appointment with vascular yesterday which was very stressful and emotional. He has been hospitalised for over 7 months and lost his right leg below the knee and all the toes off his left foot. That foot is not healing and the next step is amputation below the knee. The system is really letting him down wich doesn't help his state of mind at all.
One of the biggest reasons for me to do Cohen's was seeing Dad go through what he has because od diabetes and him not looking after himself.
So I'm off to make luch and tea and does myself up....LOL
 
Tomorrow night I will put up my measurements. I did a spreadsheet document for them but I want to have a fiddle and make graphs from it also.
 
Moi im really sorry to hear about your dad. It must be very had for you having so much on your plate to deal with. If you ever want to chat im always around! (the life of a student hehe)

Your really inspiring. Knowing your only a few weeks ahead of me, ill def keep an eye out on how your going! And your cooking sounds awesome!! I wish you were my mum!! (mines not too good in the kitchen god love her, and my fiancee is lazy)

And lastly, can i just say, from your profle pic, you look like rachel griffiths!!
 
Hi Shrinking Moi, I am very sorry about your Dad & his health problems. I just wanted to say good for you making the decision to take control of your health. That's admiral! Hope your dad does not lose his other leg sweetie. You are obviously a loving, caring daughter, xo Cate
 
Hi Erica,
Sorry to hear about your dad, it must be hard on him and
your family when some-one you love is so ill, you can at
least be proud of your self for losing the weight that you
have, so you to don't go down the same unfortunate road.
I know it must be difficult, but try and be positive and remember
why you are doing this and how proud your dad must be of you.

Take care Jenni

Week 4 Weigh In

Ok, I weighed in today, with consitpation and heavy jeans on.
Scales said 105.3kgs. At home I am 104kgs so if you go by my scales I have lost 10.5kgs but if you go by theirs, I have lost 9.2kgs in 4 weeks.
I've done a chart of stats but I just wacked in a weight for last week as i didn't weigh in then.

See if that works.

I am still saying that I have lost around 10kgs in 4 weeks as I think this is fair....LOL. I have lost a load of cm's as you can see.
No deviations for me...woohooooo.
I just have to get rid of this constipation from taking codiene and I'll be all good.
 
Jenni, thanx so much for your support.

Cate, thanx, I just hope he doesn't lose it but we have to be realistic in the end. Dad tends to bury his head in the sand.

fattyboombah, thanx for your support. I may just take you up on that. Rachel Griffith...no way...LOL. Just remember it's a small pic...
I think it sounds to me like you need to experiment in the kitchen my girl. If you want any advice or recipes just ask.

Oh and I also found a few things about Cohen's that I didn't realise.
Normally we would eat a set amount a calories to give us energy fo rteh day but as ours are very low, our body burns the fat to use instead and this is why it's hard on our liver and kidneys.
 
[CENTER]WOW. [/CENTER]


Look at those centremieters flying off! Have you added it up? well I did for you its a total of 97.5 ( if I can count) thats nearly a metre, Thats amazing. I have never really looked at the scales but relied on the size clothes I was wearing. I actually had to go and buy my first set of scales to start the program. I think the cm are more important than kg.

Kisses for a great Easter

Hi Moi......you are doing so well. and i agree about the inches versus's weight loss I have found that myself after Mondays weigh in.
Keep well over the long easter holiday.

Sam:)
 
feeling desperate

I feel like I need a non cohen's meal. I am getting sick of the same vegies and watery consistancy of my stir frys. I am trying so many different ideas, yet I feel like I'm crumbling.
I had 2 bites of a hot cross bun earlier.......
