Not sure I started refeed at right time

[tiny m]

Hi - this is my first post but after spending 1 hour each morning this week reading all of you - I know you are the right place to come for clarification on this. And why didn't I use these boards during the whole losing process?

I lost 30 pounds in 3.5 months and this is the SECOND time I have done Cohen's. Lost 30 pounds 2 years ago, kept it off for 1.5 years, called off my wedding 6 weeks before it was to take place and gained it all back and then just lost it all again. I could say more about THAT whole process....but let me get to my question at hand.

Ok - I am on day 4 of re-feed and have been losing .2 pounds each day (I'm in US so I'm a pounds vs. kg girl). I started re-feed at 2 pounds below my Cohen goal weight (Cohen said be 120 - 126 and I started refeed at 11. I kind of wanted to keep losing because I got fascinated by my body and wondered just how low I could go. But everyone was telling me I looked too skinny and I am ready to be able to go out to dinner on special occasions again.

One week before re-feed started I went on a Caribbean cruise for work and could not be perfect on the plan. I could not weigh or measure my food raw and did not cook my own anything....but I made smart choices and did not cheat and still lost 2 pounds that week. I came home and did the plan for 4 days and then started refeed. But I am wondering if I should have waited a few more weeks so I have 2 weeks of perfect balance before refeed (I never read this anywhere other than the boards- Cohens documents never said this anywhere). I never got to the point of being starving and feeling like I MUST have more food - I have just been totally content with the diet amounts.

I feel good on re-feed and am having no problems...but I have this nagging "what if" about maybe putting it on hold and going back to the diet for a couple weeks and waiting longer, losing more, etc...before starting refeed again.

Your thoughts are appreciated!
