Hi there,
I joined the forum yesterday and I'm hooked already!
I am embarking on the last
weight loss journey of my life and thought I would document my travels for posterity, as it won't be happening again!
I'm 33, and since my memory was formed, I have always been overweight. I was first put on a
diet before the age of 8. During the following 25 years I have tried most things, with varying success. But this time is different. This time I know what is wrong and I have the tools to fix it. I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome 4 weeks ago. After lots of research on the net I discovered Cohens Lifestyle Clinics. Dr
Cohen developed this eating plan for people with infertility problems, caused by PCOS. Loosing weight helps the symptoms of PCOS but due to insulin resistance it is not always that easy. Cohens eating plan resolves some of those issues by stablising blood sugar level.
Im really excited that the real me, the one I knew was there the whole time, is going to be on show to everybody soon!
I started Cohens 2 weeks ago and so far so good. Ok I have turned into a hermit, for fear of breaking the rules but I'm focused and there is nothing wrong with that! I figure
weight loss is a choice, and I'm choosing to do it! I got to this weight by making the wrong choices and now I'm going to make the right choices. If I feel deprived of anything I shall remind myself that I have probably consumed enough of it in my lifetime already!
Well thats enough of my ramble for tonight. I shall be in touch soon.....
PS I have a big day tomorrow...a first date which is going to involve eating out for the first time since the start of the program. Not sure which Im more nervous about the 'first date' or eating out!
