Should I do the program??

[feralcheral]

Hi everyone

I have been reading the posts and there are alot of positives for the diet
I have not yet signed up I will be attending the information night tonight
and will make my decision
I have been on alot of diets, exercise fads and pills with no success
I am hoping this will work for me
Has anyone found it hard giving up drinkinking? As I drink a fair bit and I am worried about not sticking to the life style change

Fingers crossed all will be revealed tonight

Hi feralcheral, i have just started the program after thinking about doing it for too long, i was always 'gunna' start next week. I am on day 2 so can't tell you heaps, i think i was worried more about what i couldn't eat and now i am looking forward to eating some different foods 'cohens' style. Like you, the thought of no alcohol was a bit daunting, but for me alcohol was a contibutor to my weight gain - empty calories and then the high carb munchies, i guess you need to decide if you can put booze away for a few months and maybe if you can and once you see the new you, i'm sure you won't regret your decision. There are some awesome people on here with heaps of support whatever you decide, good luck, Angie

Sounds like you are telling my story! I was a HUGE drinker... And partied hard.

The first month I didn't socialize, I was scared I'd give in.... But now week14 it's no big deal, I go out from time to time or friends come over and I only drink mineral water.... The success if the weightless keeps me going. however! When I've had bad days and am not coping I want to stuff my face and drink but I don't.....

You actually learn how to cope better with life! Oh and I also realized how pathetic really pissed people are!!!!

Good luck!

I hope you find the info night informative, Cheral! I am sure you will.

I am not much of a drinker, so this was a non-issue for me but it must be an issue for many people as my plan mentions how daunting the prospect of no alcohol can be....

I guess if you decide to do Cohens, you just have to give it a go and learn other ways to cope without alcohol... same as how emotional eaters need to learn to cope by other means too.

I hope you decide to do it... It has been undoubtedly the best life choice I have ever made.
