Angelbum's maintenance land

[angelbum]

Hi everyone,

Well firstly, I apologise for my absence! I can only really blame 'this time of year' with all the Christmas preps etc - and we started building our pool - so our house (well the back yard mainly) has been a dirty icky construction site.

Anyways... I've been finished refeed for about 2 weeks now. Started really well but then last week I had 4 Christmas parties so it has felt like a big blow out! Even though I didn't have huge nights at all of them - even not getting a really good sleep has left me feeling a bit blah.

I'm up quite a bit on my refeed end weight - this morning was 58.8 and finished at 57.2 - needless to say I'm kind of terrified! In one way I'm still so happy, my clothes feel great - but with the scale having crept up already....eek! So the last 2 days I've gone back to my original Cohens plan - but now I'm remembering the whole 'too little food can be just as damaging' so... do I just suck it up and stick with my refeed portions - but without wine etc for a while ... or do I go with original plan for a few days and drop the 1.5kgs or so before heading back to refeed sizes ??

Geez, I wish I could escape this kind of constant questioning of whether I'm doing the right thing or not... I guess that's why I've jumped straight back here into the forum for some advice! Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

Welcome back lovely *huge hugs* I've missed you heaps!

But I knew you would be enjoying life after cohens so I was waiting patiently for your return.

Did you get maintenance guidelines after refeed? I guess you will need to either contact your clinic or have a look at the maintenance forum. Although everyone here will help you out with your questions.

So you guys are getting a pool? Cool! Hub and I have been talking about it but its just talk. You've made my day coming back to the forum. Mari hasn't been around lately either. Its just that time of the year. Not to worry. We will all catch up sooner or later

Do refeed portions then your full enough, and hormones are balanced enough that you don't need to eat baddy stuff and the weight comes down in 2-4 days.oh and don't forget your water!
