It is funny when i weigh when i get up at 3 in morning it is heavier than if i weigh on week ends and weight at 7 in morning i think it is the more rest or sleep we get the better.

Way to go your nearly there.

Thanks for your encouragement guys !
Well !!! Its day 10 of refeed and 7 to go.
Today is my first day of milk. I was pretty excited about it too. I thought through most of my program that I really really missed milk but today I had milk in my tea and took two sips and had to tip it out... Then I made myself a black tea. I thought I hated black tea till now. Looks like black tea is here to stay for me.
The tea with milk just didnt taste nice at all. I didnt even like the smell of it as I got the cup close to my mouth. For such a milk lover, this is amazing.
I am realising now that my tastes have really changed and I never knew it till I started refeed.
My second love was bananas and I have had one banana since I started refeed and thought that tasted pretty ordinary too. I could have one everyday now if I wanted (like I use to pre cohens)but i havnt bothered. The strawberries and watermelon still tasted yummo tho

I havnt bothered to go back on bread either. I now rather have my dry biscuits. I use to eat alot of bread before but no longer seem to care about not having it now.
I have weighed in at 63 kilos today so I have dropped 2 kilos below my goal weight so I'm pleased with that(wasnt wanting to lose anymore but I guess I dont have any control over it as I couldnt stuff anymore food in if I tried ) .That will give me 2 kilos to play with when I finish refeed.
Well !!! I've blabbered on enough for this morning and the tiger in the tank is growling for food so I better go feed it

Have a good day guys.
Kaz

Good on you - what a great achievement – congratulations!!!
You must be feeling very proud of yourself and you deserve to be happy.
It’s interesting to see that your tastes have changed. I do know what you mean about black tea though. I had the same thing happen to me many years ago and have never drunk white tea again - in fact if someone puts milk in my tea and I try to drink out of politeness I feel really ill, pour the tea out wash the cup out well and make a new cup with no milk. I also stopped drinking coffee and after a few months found that the smell of coffee with milk in it was much the same and again if some makes milky coffee in a cup and I use it later I have to wash it well to remove any smell or taste of milk or coffee - strange but true!!

Enjoy yourself with the other goodies back in your life but as the saying goes - "In moderation only"

Regards

Andy

Hi Kaz

Wow well done 2 more kilos that is fantastic i was actually thinking the same i will stick with my saladas where i can and if i go out i may have bread but i love the crackers. You must be heaps proud of yourself, i know milk would taste funny but i will get used to it again in my coffee i am sure.

Keep up the good work i cant wait to be where you are.

Well done

Anniem

Hi Kazza
Interesting how tastes and smells change! Milky tea smells yuck to you now - thats cos yr body is now a fine tuned sensitive instrument that demands and deserves the best! I know i find hubby's red wine smells repulsive now and i used to O.D. on the red - i think red wine can be toxic for some people.

Then the banana experience. I have known for yrs tho i love the taste of bananas as soon as i have eaten them the sugar hit can be worse than a strong coffee feeling!

Then the bread / crackers choice. Dont you think the crackers being so yummy crunchy are more satisfying?

Finally, another 2kg gone! I bet you enjoyed pushing that little frog on yr ticker down yet again! My instincts tell me with all your amazing success to date, you have found the zone where yr body and metabolism are in fine tune together and working at optimum level. And with refeed you are finding what fits or not as you complete your journey towards "normal eating" whatever that is for you! Pandora

Day 11 of re feed.

Oh yes ... this re feed thing sure is interesting.
As you mentioned Pandora. I do feel like my body is finely tuned now. I feel every effect of each different food I introduce in one way or another.
Woke up with one big headache this morning ( hehehe not blaming this on my re feed.) Just thought I'd mention it cause there is no one else home to whinge about it.

Panadol should be kicking in any moment.
Doing a long stretch at work right now and training a new staff member at the same time so I'll blame that . Sooooooooo looking forward to 2 days off this weekend.!!!
feeling good about the re feed thing and confident that in 6 days time when I am on my own that I will make all the right choices.
Well thats all I have to say today.
Happy Thursday everyone.

I have already posted in my diary today but I really need to write this.
When you all get to goal. It really dosnt matter if you cant wear bikini's ect because of loose skin ect. All that matter is that you are a person in a healthy weight range .
No longer being obese surely must be far more important than what clothes you can wear.So often I read of people concerned more about there clothes than the big picture. Plz take this as just my opinion. It is great to be able to wear smaller clothes but this is just the bonus that comes along with a healthy well tuned body fit for life now.

Nice words of wisdom, Kaz

anniem · #50 28-09-2007, 09:17

Hi Kazzzar

It is so true what you wrote but for me i was not obese when i started this but i will not wear jeans cause all my confidence had gone i just want to be able to wear anything and have my confidence back i know it is not about clothes but for me i just want to be comfortabe in any thing. I want to know that i can wear anything and then i think that will make me feel better.

i understand what you are saying and it is very right as long as we are all healthy and well that is all that matters.

Have a great week end and i hope that your refeed is going wel.

Day 13 of refeed...
Hmmm havnt had such a good day today.. Not that ive actually done anything bad but it feels like I have..
I was awake at 5 am as usual and by 6 we went out fishing. I grabbed some yogurt and a banana to take for breakfast.
Ate those and after fishing we went and had a cuppa. This was only a short fishing trip and we were home by 10.30 am..
I was soooooooooooooo hungry that I had to have my lunch at that time. I have never had this happen since on cohens.
I decided I would just have to go with this or else im going to eat something real bad

At 1.30 i was starving again so I had 2 of my bread servings and some capsicum with cheese grilled on it.
So its 2 pm and Ive had 3 meals..
Now.... I can say that I havnt exceeded my portions for the day but this is going to be a day where I will of eaten 4 meals by the end of it.

I'm presuming that this is just a one off event but it sure has been a test as to how I am going to deal with it.
I am still 2 kilos under goal so this really isnt going to matter in the big scheme of things but I was suprised that it happend.

kazzzar · #52 30-09-2007, 06:59

Day 14 of re feed and I have just weighed and gone up a kilo.
Im not suprised as I didnt follow my program properly yesterday( due to being very very hungry). I wont go back 2 days unless I put on more tommorrow.
At this point I realise that even though I only had 5 days of re feed to go , that by not following it properly that weight gain will happen easily.

Good lesson learn't but I think I handled it well by not going off the foods and proportions I was allowed. I just basically split two meals and ate at strange times.
Have a good sunday everyone.
Kaz
p.s I wont change my ticker because I expect it to be back to 63 tommorrow.

pandora · #53 30-09-2007, 08:16

Yes Kazza, i also expect you'll be back at 63kg tomorrow! And remember this is REAL LIFE, ABOUT REAL LIFE, ABOUR ENJOYING AND LIVING REAL LIFE, so good on you for your honesty and yr lessons learned. As you said you did stick to portions allowed etc and in the larger scheme of things, going up a kilo then back down again within a day or so is a normal part of maintenance once we complete refeed and go back to our version of "normal eating". Have a great Sunday! Pandora

kazzzar · #54 01-10-2007, 08:58

Day 15 re feed.
Hmmm well I had another hungry morning yesterday but i didnt budge from my program.
I have come to the conclusion that milk in the morning is triggerering my hunger.( my maintenance information does mention milk can do this )
This has only happened since I added milk to my tea in the morning.
Within 30 minutes I am starving for breakfast ( and starving again by 10 am )and today I left the milk out of my tea and I havnt had the hungry thing happen at all so far.
Right from the start of my program , I have had a cuppa when I wake up so this isnt a new habit Ive started . The only new part is the milk.
I think I will give the milk a miss until after lunch and see how I go. I supose all I can do is try it and see what happens.
Ive grown to like black tea and dont mind not having the milk at all now.
Yes pandora . Today i weighed back at 63kilos. On thursday I am on my own with re feed completed and I realise now that maintenance is going to be another interesting journey .

[color=red]HAPPY MONDAY TO ALL !!!!!!!!!!!color]

kazzzar · #55 02-10-2007, 08:27

Whoo Hoooo day 16 of re feed and tommorrow is my last day.

i will be glad when this is finished seeing these 3 days are a bit of a challenge as to what I eat.I had pumpkin with my dinner last night and that sure was a treat.
I dont have any urges to return to my junky lifesyle so far.My hubby had a really nice piece of banana cake yesterday and asked if I wanted any. Yepppp I said yes but I had one teaspooon full and that was all I wanted. Before cohens I would have had half his portion.
Yes..!!! This was a deviation from the program but it didnt make any difference and I figure its close enough to time where I am allowed to eat cake if I want and
it was good to know that i really wasnt interested in the cake .
Before re feed i would not dared to even taste a crumb of cake or I might have eaten the lot. Thats what I thought anyway..
I'm working very hard on the mental state right now.. My reasons for why and when and how I ate are all very clear to me now and I intend to not forget those reasons.

have a good day everyone

Hi Kaz

Well done you are doing such a great job. Yum a nibble of cake. it is great you dont want to go back to earlier habits. from looking your weight went up a kilo but back down so that is good not long to go now. Make sure you stay in touch and let us know how you are going.

Annie

Andy46 · #57 02-10-2007, 08:42

Good on you - you have really done so well - and you have controll now - enjoy and have a nice day every day.

Andy

meagain · #58 02-10-2007, 18:22

Well done Kazza!

I still have 9 days to go on my refeed after today - so far it has been a little chanllenging. My only gain to date was 100gms ( sorry you can see my refeed dairy).

Please keep us updated on life on the 'outside'.

Debs · #59 03-10-2007, 12:46

HI Kazza

How's your last day going??? What sort of a plan are you putting in place for tomorrow onwards?

Debs

kazzzar · #60 03-10-2007, 21:35

Last day of re feed over !!!!

Thanks everyone. !!!
And the answer to your question Deb....
My plan is to just go one day at a time trying to remember all the good habits I have learned and live by them.I'm hoping that in time my eating habits can be in my lower priority because I eat right without having to think to much about it. i dont know if thats possible or wishfull thinking.
i hope to eat and think like a thin person. Not a person always trying to keep weight off.
Exercise will be back on my priority list but only a few times of week.
I'll keep you all posted how Im doing..
Kaz
