Revelations - from those "Doing Cohens"
Post #2 - Shell says "What's the hurry?" - with good reason..... Post #3 - Trips says "Don't be fixated on the struggle" and explains why. Post #4 - Trips helps to take the pressure off !! "While on Cohens, take the time to LIVE" Post #5 - Hexi and Koh each take a look at the question "Why do mirrors still show the fat girl?" Post #6 - MissNix explores the thought that "to BELIEVE" is what we most need to do - not just on Cohens, but in ourselves, in each other, in LIFE. Helluva post !! Post #7 - Charmaine comes up trumps with a thread she titled "What must be done". In it, she explores some of those early, uneasy feelings, and adds lashings of hope and inspiration (a good "followup" to post #4 from Trips). Post #8 - MissOptimistic initiated a thread titled "For those with a Longer Journey" - and, importantly, its subtitle appears to be "Don't under-estimate the worth of small losses". Another really good read.... Post #9 - Revamped Tramp takes a look at Plateau's after experiencing one herself - and her learnings are required reading. If it is you having a Plateau right now, read this, and feel your smile grow wider !! Top post, RT Post #10 - Lindy79 shares her "Aha" moment re carbs/sugars. If you didn't know this, you could be at risk - go read post #10 for the good oil. Koh

No need to rush - from Shell
I really appreciated one particular comment from Shell (I'll quote it below) - but have a read from her entry in "Tips to help".

In fact, that whole thread is worth a read (I found it on Page 14 of the Discussion thread - maybe needs a bump ) Here's the whole lot:- http://newyouforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4971 There are a lot of good tips in that thread too, from many others.... Koh

Revelations continued - courtesy of Trips
Trips has always "spoken well" - this is a post that sang to me when she posted it. Has to be a Classic - it deserves to be there so it can help others.

But there is SO much more - so go on, click the link, Koh

While on Cohens, take the time to LIVE !!
Yeah, it's Trips again - I couldn't look past this one - the truth for sure !!
In a nutshell, Trips has found that LIVING is what it's all about - and says it so well !!! Here's a teaser:- Quote:

Why do mirrors still show "the fat girl" ..... ??
Strange how mirrors seem "distorted" at some times on the Cohen journey.
Is it a "time" thing? i.e. the mind struggles to keep up with the changes? Suffice to say it seems to be a COMMON problem.... Here's Hexi, approaching things once more with a new Plan, and a whole new perspective:- http://newyouforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=254853&highlight=mirror#post25485 3 Do note that (for Hexi) the second time through has been way different - principally because of the focus she has put on her way of thinking since she completed "Cohens part 1". Her reflection in the mirror looks a lot different to her now, because of her new mind focus !! A very important point methinks.... And then, here's my reply to Snugglebear (some time back) that addresses that "mirror" problem - might be something there for YOU too..... http://newyouforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=208614#post208614 At the very least, KNOW that you are NOT alone in thinking that way, Koh

You've all heard of "One in a 100 year flood" I'm sure...
THIS, I feel, is a "One in a 100 year post" !!!
In reading this post, I felt a whole range of emotions.... o Surprise - that a cruel weight-loss figure could lead to such positive revelations. o Relief - that bad news was obviously NOT de-railing this young lass. o Humility - that one so young could teach so many older than her (yep, me too). o Happiness - for the gift that was given to others without hesitation. o Gratitude - for the brilliance of the thoughts presented - classic without doubt !! Without further ado - here's MissNix in all her glory :- http://newyouforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=269426#post269426 Thank you, lovely lady - that post is a gift that can only be described as invaluable !! Live long, and prosper, as a skinny minnie, MissNix - you SO deserve that. Koh

Re: Revelations - from those "Doing Cohens"
A gold nugget from Charmaine today !! How good is this?
Especially good for some who might be feeling unsure about starting, or "fragile" when just started - but worth a read by EVERYONE !! http://newyouforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10264 Read it slowly, thoughtfully, and appreciate the WORTH of those words.

For those with "a longer journey"....
To my shame, I ignored THIS thread for some days (the title just "didn't do it for me".... then, one day, I looked at it....)
What a great thread it is, so, a big "Thank you" to Miss Optimistic for introducing it :- http://newyouforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11059 It puts a different perspective on the journey - and so well !! Koh

A "plateau" epiphany - really good learning here !!
I couldn't overlook this one tonight (RevampedTramp sharing her thoughts as her "plateau ends") :-
http://newyouforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=332996#post332996 RevampedTramp gets right down to the nitty-gritty so well..... and many others are the beneficiaries.... Maybe you, right now !!! I liked her "plateau wrap-up" especially :- Quote:
But hey, they were a TINY part of the whole post - and every bit of it is worth reading - go on, take a look !! Top post, RVT Koh PS I refer to her as RC now, as I believe she is a RevampedChamp

Re: Revelations - from those "Doing Cohens"
Thanks to a new member who had found an old topic, this wee gem came to light today. Since it is from a "Cohens Graduate" (i.e. a Maintainer) it is well worth taking in the words and the truth that the words share. Check these out:-

Also, since the subject matter seems to be around "Reset", DO also check this post (about NOT Resetting longer than 48 hours !! ) http://newyouforum.com/forum/showthr...036#post410036 You may be very glad you checked it ! Shows there are little "banana skins" out there just waiting to trip you up in Maintenance. Koh
