I have listed most of my fattest clothes on ebay and oddly enough I have sold lots. Go figure...? I wanted to FORCE myself to need new clothes rather than just buy stuff to add on the pile. I'm 'Cohensing' my clothes + shoes, handbags perfume and any other excessive accumulations I can live without. My whole family are eating the same as me, they're just having bigger portions and everyone is feeling great. My son lost 2 kgs, my daughter lost 4 and my husband 3, so even though they are eating un-weighed portions, everyone is tossing out rubbish and feeling the benefits of eating properly. My son said he feels clear in his digestion, no bread.
After a few days of no scale changes, I am losing weight again, (5.5kgs or 6kgs @ day 11) so I figure my old plan is doing the trick.

Have felt pretty ordinary for most of the first stretch, I know I had a few chronic diseases taking hold of me, - high blood pressure, Hashimoto's disease, arthritis, fatty liver and menopause (not a disease but sure FEELS like it is), so Cohens is vital to my management of those. For me the detox is bleerrrgggghhh this time around.

A weird thing is happening, when I try and sleep, I keep feeling this bizarre sensation of racing heart/palpitations and a huge adrenalin rush every 10 - 20 mins and it wakes me up with a panic feeling. Maybe its menopause, maybe my body is having a freak out over the total cold turkey boot of sugar, starch, fat and processed food chemicals etc. It's making me very jittery and tired, but scared to go to bed as well. I hope the yoga makes a difference. Still in all... progress is happening. The scales didn't change for a few days but then I woke up this morning and I physically felt smaller, noticeably. Another kilo was gone, but I know it's all a moveable quotient at this stage, so I'll weigh myself again on Monday which will be 2 weeks in.

Over and out.

Good to hear about this! I hope every week's a new weight to help you manage and maintain the healthy living you're into.
