Hi
This is the first time I have posted so I hope I am doing it right.
My name is Toni. I recently completed Cohen's, finishing refeed in mid April. After this time I was obsessed with food. I couldn't stop bingeing and I now have a really sweet tooth. I eat sweet things everyday. Meusli bars mostly. Other than that I eat mostly cohen's style meals, cripbead and fruit. But I have got back my coffee adiction, which I drink with 1sugar and milk (which has increased to about 5 a day). My bingeing is slowly settling which I am happy about, becuase for a while there I thought I was going crazy. My eating behaviours were worse than before I started Cohen's. But needless to say, I have gained quite a lot of weight in a short time. I have gone from 58kg to a maximum of 63kg (am a little below that today) I have told myself several times that I would stop eating sweet things or cut down on coffee or have smaller portions- anything to avoid the strictness of going back on the original plan. But here I am getting bigger and undoing all my hard work. So here goes, starting tomorrow I am joining the 5K Challenge. I am not looking forward to the hunger or the detox and all the side effects that go with it. But gee, I can't wait to see the weight loss and get rid of these awful sugar cravings. I have tried to start again before and caved by breakfast time when I was still hungry after eating, but it's now or never. I find myself feeling a failure for all my failed attempts to control my eating, and I hate to admit it but I am already doubting my ability to see this through. One of the main reasons I need to get back on the plan and regain control and faith and confidence in myself.
