Hello everyone,

Great to see you all doing so well, its so encouraging!

Well I started Cohens when my bubba was about 8 weeks old. I did ok, I actually found it easier to do the newborn thing while I was on Cohens. I lost about 12 kilos and then I went on holidays and just went beserk.

She is now almost 6 months old and I am finding it sooo difficult this time, and of course though I read it over and over again (how difficult it was to come back to Cohens after stopping) I did and now I am paying for it. I do really well and then I deviate. This time I went 4 days and then ate a peanut butter sandwich. I cant believe it.

So I am brushing myself off, giving myself a kick up the butt and starting again tomorrow, this time with no deviations. I am going to hang around here (it helped so much last time) and I am going to be organised the day before. Well thats my promise to myself anyway.

Has anyone done the stupid thing I have and finally had success? Please let me know, it would really help...

Cheers,

Kim
 
Hi Kimmy, welcome back. I haven't had your experience, so I can't comment on that, but I just want to say... you can do it! You've done it before with great success, so you can do it again! You're still the same strong woman, right?

I've been having powerful cravings, too. I've even come close to deviating once or twice. I just keep reminding myself that one cheat can set me back a whole week. I tell myself that I've invested too much time, money, and hope to throw it all away over a piece of food. I tell myself that this is my last diet, but it'll only work if I do. Mostly, I want to be energetic and healthy for my kids. I want to be small and sexy for my husband. I want them to be proud of me. Heck, I want to be proud of me. That's my motivation. Find yours-- I think it will help on the rough days.

Don't beat yourself up over the peanut butter sandwich. Just don't do it again! :)
 
Hi Misty,

Thanks so much for your motivating words, they have really helped me to get on track...I started again this morning and am going to take your advice. I really want to lose the weight for my two little ones and the fact that I am going into business in a really trendy little childrenswear shop, so I want to look the part IYKWIM?!!!
You are doing so well, I dont know how long youve been on Cohens, but I found after my first two weeks the cravings completely stopped...Good luck, keep up the good work, you are an inspiration!!!
Hugs,
Kim
 
Oh sorry, I see that you started a month ago...I should clarify that I found my physical cravings went, but the mental battle never did! I think its great that you remember how a deviation can set you back. I so wish I had never deviated, I would be close to finishing now, not starting!!!:(
 
Hi Kimmy, wow, I'm motivating someone? Awesome! I've been on it 3 weeks and you're right, the physical cravings are gone. It's the mental ones that are a battle, especially when I'm down or PMSing... It's OK, though, one meal at a time, one craving at a time...

Your new business sounds amazing and so much fun! You're gonna be a hip, cool skinny little entreprenuer in no time at all!
 
Aw thanks so much Nevedaw and Misty, its great to get encouragement like that!
Well today I had a 100% Cohens day but it is getting late here and those sitting-on-the-computer-late cravings are starting to rear their ugly faces, so I am just gonna ignore them and go off to bed. TOmorrow I will weigh myself and set up my ticker etc...
Nevedaw are you on the Cohens? Misty - how are those cravings going!
Cheers!
Kim
