I'm beginning again...again.

[Light_Life_Love16]

Hi guys,

This time last year, literally the 19th of June last year, I began my cohens journey. I lost 39kg in five months, it was amazing. Then I decided to let old habits sneak back in and all of a sudden I was out of control.

My plan has run out so I have now re-ordered a new plan. I begin tomorrow. After months of mucking around I am ready to go again.

I know I've declared my recommitment time and time again on here, and that's okay. I suppose time will show the results I will achieve. and I am okay with that.

So for all it's worth, I will be posting here to vent, talk through my journey and seek support from those who know how I might be feeling as I drop my final lot of weight. I will weigh in tomorrow and measure my starting cms.

Looking forward to feeling that sense of achievement and wellbeing again. I already feeling proud that I am beginning tomorrow.

Day One done and dusted.

I can honestly say it felt good. I enjoyed my day, felt a little headachy this afternoon and cranky this morning, but overall it's nice to feel back in control.

The difference of paying for a whole new program makes for an amazing shift in my mind. it makes me believe this is now the correct program for me now. I got it yesterday, started today, just wanted to be on it straight away.

Starting to dream again.

Day two done and dusted.

Today was a big deal, because it was the first day in a long time that I have not sabotaged myself at work via the social club snack table! Winning!

And it feels great!

I had several moments throughout the day in which I felt tempted to just blow it all and start tomorrow, yet I managed to distract myself and get through the day. go me!

It helps that my size 18 jeans are super tight and I am NOT going to buy the next size up. I've come to far for that. Instead, I'm doing something about it. Can't wait for that feeling of my jeans becoming loose again! And also fitting into my size 18 work pants that are all too tight at the moment. A few more weeks and I will see the first results in my clothes, no doubt. It's really not that far away.

I'm back to being a quiet achiever. I've done two days but I can't wait to have two months under my belt. I can't wait to get to Christmas this year and be through the majority of my journey, if not the whole lot! I'm totally ready to finish the job now.

I have a lovely Lorna jane jumper in my cupboard that I treated myself to for my birthday this year....I deliberately purchased it too small so it would fit long term. Currently, it is also too small for me to wear....I can't wait to wear it though! And no doubt I will be wearing it by the end of winter, that's for sure!

I'm so looking forward to finishing this eating plan phase and maintaining so that I can start living a normal, healthy lifestyle. I'm looking forward to going out on dates with my husband without having to not do dinner at home beforehand. I'm looking forward to Christmas as a thin person! I'm super excited to go camping and wear lovely new summer clothes. Can't wait!

I might even try skiing this year at the snow.....

Well done on day two and a smaller piece of clothing is such a great mini goal to work towards. I set those for myself regularly they really are such a great motivation and once you see the scale moving even better. Enjoy the weekend

Day four under my belt, and I am feeling great!

Spent a good chunk of time yesterday weighing out my protein portions and getting sorted for the week. Or the next few weeks really! I have 32 portions weighed and frozen....great to have that organised! it was a big effort, but that gets me through more than two weeks which is pretty awesome!

I'm feeling great, nice to have it under control again.

I also started creating a playlist of inspirational songs for my phone so I can listen to them and be encouraged and inspired by it all! It's great!

Anyway, just writing in to say I'm doing well.

You are mega organised well done its really great to do this because one often comes home too tired to make the effort and thats when the wheels fall off. You are definately in a great space. Enjoy the week ahead.

Hi LLL16

I suspect we may know each other given you have been on here before.

Well done on getting started again. I know how you feel about starting so many times to get back up in the saddle so to speak. Its tough and the days were your brain just tries to tell you to eat something naughty. Its such a ride and the hills are steep but to keep going is the key.

I look forward to following you
