yesterday night i suddenly felt very lethargic before my dinner. espeacially my limbs, i just feel they are not belongs to me. After dinner i feel much better. Than at night during my sleep, i feel bit hungry and can't wait till tomorrow morning to have my breakie. And today after my breakie again i'm counting down for lunch, looking at the clock every 5 min. I've ordered my refeeding last week, but unfortunately i won't be receiving it this week, cuz Dr cohens is on leave till next year, and all the request will be on hold till next year. That means i got to wait at least another 2 more weeks to received my refeeding. I hope i can make it and hopefully my hunger symptom will dissapeared after a while. I wil not deviate!! is too close to do that!!

Hi Hannah,

From what I read, clinics (though closed) will still be checking emails - so do let them know - they may well come up with a "workable way" for you to "mark time" for those days you are waiting. I've seen comments before where clinics have done this - so ask yours for help.

You may not need it today, or even next week, but it's worth asking the question earlier rather than "too late". With their help, even if "you're ready for refeed", they can help by putting you in a holding pattern.... i.e. not losing any more, but stabilising ahead of receiving your refeed documents,

Very very smart decision...
I wish I knew that before.
Be nice to your body...going to low can really baloon you back up.
If you feel you can still lose those 2 kg, you can do it with working out and easy diet. Good luck

i'm currently on 11th week of cohens, weight my self today, hmmmm....lost almost 0.9kg in bout a week time. Realised my weight lost progress faster last week, the only reason i can think of is i did lesser exercise last week!! Usually i do 2 session of yoga each lasted an hour twice a week and mountain walking lasted an hour once a week. Due to so many holiday last week, i actually just went for one session of yoga, and missed the rest. But instead i lost weight faster than i did excersice. The theory of starvation is true, because i'm very near to my target weight now, and if i spend more energy my body will go on starvation mode easily and therfore weight lost is slower. but i really love to do excersice, so i decided to go yoga once a week for this few weeks before my refeeding, so i will not cuz my body to go starvation and yet i can tone up my body.

Getting very near to my target weight. Yesterday went for a birthday dinner, din't deviate, don't feel depressed when i can't eat anything on the table, not like the 1st time i joined a wedding dinner and i just started cohens bout 2 weeks, that time i still remember i felt so depressed when everyone starts eating and i just look and pretend i have allergy with those food. Felt really uncomfortable and decided to make up a story to leave dinner early. But i don't feel anything yesterday, i really have learned to realised "is just food" no big deal. I really hope this mentality will sustained forever even after cohens. And remember to eat moderate and healthy. I can feel my body is ready for refeeding, unfortunately i think Dr cohen is still on holiday, have not received anything from clinic yet, i've ordered bout 1 week before chrismas. Does anyone know when the Clinic will reopen in singapore?Hope i will received my refeeding this coming week and start refeeding soon.

Good on you with the dinner... Its funny reflecting to see how much of little importance it is to over indulge now with food... I am sure you will do amazing on refeed and all going well this week everyone is back on board including Dr Cohens... Is there a message at your clinic telling you when all is back on board?

Hi Hannah,

Wow - look at your fligh through, you've done so well! Isn't it wonderful when you can go out and eat with people without feeling like you are missing out - you're right, food is just food.

Hope you have a great day!

Hi ellabelle, read your refeeding diary, how interesting to add more food again yet still loosing weight during refeed. Very soon i'm going to join u in refeed land, can't wait to start refeed!!

[hannah]

After 2 weeks of holidays, i finally got emailed from consultant bout they've sent my refeeding to me yesterday, how excited!! acctually i am ready to refeed anytime, cuz i can recognised the "symptoms" on and off, getting hungry, feeling bit light head, back ache, suddenly wake up in the middle of the night/very early morning thinking what time is it now, but able to get back to sleep since is too early to eat breakfast... anyway, i'm now bout 0.9kg away from my target weight,but i think i will not wait till i reached target to starts refeed. Once i got my refeed and make sure i understand and sorted out everything i 'll start immediately. I hope is not too confusing, read a lot bout other ppl refeed diaries nowadays, more or less know what is it going to happen. Hope i will not get confused and cuz unintentionally deviate during refeed. i MUST do this correctly 100%.

[hannah]

yahooooo!!! i got my refeeding yesterday, going to start immediately, means today!! i got 18 days of refeed. Hope everything will run smoothly

[Maya]

Enjoy your refeed! I also had 18 days my first time around...
I'm celebrating end of 1st month today...still a way to go before the refeed... but VERY happy to see people succesfully coming to the refeed!
