The Motivation Of The Half Way Mark!

[Kristine..]

G'Day

Yep, today I realised that I have now passed the Half Way Mark

From here on in, it is all downhill racing!

Cohens #3 was not so much to lose: 15.50 kilos, and today I have chalked up 7.90 kilos, so only 7.60 to go.

So the question is:

For those of you who have cleared the half way mark, did that moment

• Galvanise you to action, did you scent 'Home' in your nostrils, did you feel renewed energy and determination?
  
  
• Dismay you - it took so long to lose the first half, did the thought of being on the program for another x months send you into a downward spiral of gloom?
  
  
• Neither - just another day, didn't take much notice
  
  
• Quietly satisfied - nothing to shout about but very pleasing to have 'Crossed the Equator' of your program. You can see the difference, you can feel the difference, and now you are really confident (of yourself) that you will certainly press ahead and achieve the completion of the program

It would be interesting to hear whether the Half Way Mark triggered any 'Ah Ha!' moments for you

Cheers

Hey Kristine, well done on reaching the half way mark! You must be very pleased with yourself!

How long did it take you? I need to lose the same as you and this is also my 3rd time on Cohens.

I can't remember how i felt reaching half way 1st time on Cohens, so perhaps i didn't treat it as anything that significant? Sorry but it was two years ago...

To be honest I dont think half way really registered with me, I think I am just so fixated on the end results and the scales moving each day, as I am a serial weigher, tut tut I know, but seeing the movement each day keeps me mega focused. There fore answer to your question "Neither - just another day, didn't take much notice"
Well done to you though on reacing halfway!! Its such a rewarding weightloss programme to be on

I found it exhilarating knowing I was in the home stretch

I actually went the opposite, hence why I'm back a second time. Once I hit half way I got complacent because I was feeling and looking so good. And thought, this is easy, I can have this, and I can have that. This time I'm going to aim for just another day and keep on trucking

Well done on making it half way, it is a great achievement!

Unfortunately, I have to agree with Kirst. I got past half way, I was looking pretty good too, when life started throwing a few emotionally challenging obstacles my way, which I obviously was not prepared psychologically to deal with, and I thought I could give in to my emotions without too much damage happening, and started eating things I shouldn't have. Before I knew it I'm now up to 89 kgs - and my lowest was 74 kgs. I now know I will not take every kilo I lose for granted. So back to the drawing board for me. Sigh....

Interesting question Kristine!

i went both ways - was dismayed at the thought of how far I had to go but after moping for a bit, i buckled down and decided to go for the long haul. after all, i was halfway there. figured i might as well hit my goal.
