Negative Nellies!!!

[SuzieQ]

Well, I need to vent. I just told a friend that I am going to be doing the program and she basically said it was a waste of time. She has another friend who did Cohen's and lost 25kg, but in the last year or so has put 17kg back on. So this friend says it's not worth it because as soon as you stop the program and eat 'normally' you put all the weight back on.

Uh, I'm sorry but as far as I'm concerned it's pretty obvious that you can't go back to eating the way we were before because THAT is WHY we became overweight in the first place!! It is a lifestyle change that is needed not a few months of being strict and then over eat the wrong foods again or of course the weight will come back!

I am kicking myself that I even mentioned it, should have kept it to myself. Unfortunately this friend who thinks Cohen's is a bad idea is also overweight and has admitted to having no will power and not even wanting to try and lose weight as it's all to hard - I think she just doesn't want anyone else to lose weight either which is sad I think. Some support would be nice.

I think I'm finished my vent now....ahhh serenity now.
