Hi, I have been on the
Cohen's Lifestyle program for 9 weeks today.
I am 175cm tall, my start weight was 105kg, size 24 (!),in my 50's & have battled weight problems for most of my life. I am starting this diary to record my progress from now on as I am feeling so positive about my prospects of becoming a slim, healthy woman for the first time since my 20's.
I used to be very active, out-going & loved playing
sport. I am going to change my life & become an active participant in life again.
I am happily married with grown sons & live in a beautiful place where I am close to nature. Life is good & getting better day by day!
I am trying hard not to weigh myself before my next 4 wks is up but it is such a struggle. I asked my husband to hide the scales but I found them within 5 minutes. I haven't told him that I found them though.
One thing I struggle with is I'm afraid that I am boring people talking about the
diet. I think about it most of the day.This is probably why I am starting the diary. I love reading about people's experiences in the forum and it is really helping me a lot. I am not sure what any-one would want to know about me. I don't see my
weight loss as huge yet so am not sure if I can help others.
1 think I do know that the biggest key to my sticking to the plan is to be prepared. I have vegetables prepared & in containers in the fridge. I always have the next day's meals planned. I freeze meat into meal portions & I try not to have certain foods in the house. Luckily my husband hates junk food so we do not eat potato chips or drink soft drink. I also feel really focused on losing weight this time & keeping it off for the rest of my life. I never want to feel ashamed of my
body again.
I will try to add something each day & will answer any questions. Hope to hear from you, cheers, Cate
