Why am I hungry on the refeed?

[glassangel]

What's going on?

What am I doing wrong??

I am hungry on the refeed - eating more food than I have in awhile and I am hungry...the first week was fine...but this week I am getting hungry...any possibilities?

See how you are in a couple of days when you've had a chance to settle down a little. If you're still hungry and following it 100%, ring your clinic and speak with them.

I finish on Friday...going to see them Thursday...

on refeed I found some foods made me hungry, like milk, bread, some of the bad fruits.

check with your clinic.

Thanks meagain,

I rang them yesterday and she thought perhaps the fruit - I've dropped my apple again (reintroduced it because I LOVE them!).
Today seems much better.
I was really tired yesterday and the kids were stressing me too so I think that didn't help - I reckon my popcorn for carbs wasn't a good idea either so not doing that today - probably had too much salt too...so avoiding all that today...



Finish refeed on Friday - can't believe it - and I am TERRIFIED of putting the weight back on! TERRIFIED

Glassangel,

Me too, that's why I am sticking around this forum. I put on 600gms after the weekend (I went to a wake for my sister, and I had alcohol, chocolate, savouries made with puff pastry). I am now down 300gms of that 600gms, so I will do one more pure post indulgence day, except I went out for breakfast this morning and had an egg, and half a tomato, they had no other veg options and nothing else Cohen's friendly - should have taken my - sorry Deb's muffins.

I know I have to stay on top of it, and not let complacency suck me in again. (Also, as I went to breakfast I haven't done my excercise this morning.)

I don't want to update my refeed diary until the 300gms is gone - silly I know, but I know how you feel about the weight sneaking back on.

Hi glassangel,

After having completed what you HAVE completed, surely you now KNOW how you can regain control again?

Take a step back, GA - clear your mind, and KNOW that you now know the answer - you have already proved that. You CAN control this into the future. And, if it seems daunting, come back into this forum (the refeeding one) and draw on the experience of all of those good people who have gone before you.

You may find it hard to believe right now, but YOU are in good shape - right here, right now. Friday is just another day, and nothing to be feared. Draw from the beneficence of all of those others pointing the way, right here, and it'll all be apples...

Love and hugs,

Koh

Fantastic that you've finished Re-Feed GA. You're an inspiration to us and yourself. This programme actually gives you the tools to cope with life outside of cohens, unlike most other programmes. I'm sure you will stay in control of your weight and you already know what to do if you over-indulge one or two days. Please keep us posted with how life is "after cohens" for us people yet to be there, as I'm sure it's an issue that's of quite concern to many.

Well done, and welcome to the skinny-minny GlassAngel <a href="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http...rof/page.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/13/13_1_217.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"></a>

eta: sorry just realised this is a couple of days ahead. Congrats for Friday

[glassangel]

Thanks guys

Yeah I do know how to keep the weight off - and I want to. Got my maintenance guidelines today and feel heaps better having read them Also feel as tho' I can read my body - the other day when I was hungry I had pear and apple close together-ish and I think both trigger hunger for me. I really really need to be careful with fruit. I was also having 50g of popcorn for the carb and this was a bad move - so yeah I know what's on the out for me! And I guess as I 'experiment' I will feel more confident...
