I am NOT going to quit this eating plan. i cant allow myself to do that! Today marked the 8th consecutive 100% cohens day for me and I was feeling great about it, however I have the flu and a sinus infection and was generally feeling lousy and i deviated...I am angry at myself, disapointed, and it physically made me feel like crap...But I wont let this turn into 2 days and then a week and then a month of deviations....I need this to be the answer for me, I need this to work so i can learn how to treat food as fuel not as an emotional outlet. I consider myself 100% refocused, I just had a minor bump in the road.
All I feel like doing is getting onto my elliptical trainer and doing something positive for my health, but I physcally cant becuase im unwell.
I feel so disempowered by my weight, so why s it so hard for me to focus on getting it off? I struggle to understand why it is so easy to self sabotage...although it makes success more sweet I suppose.....
Bed time for all snotty nose people like me

hi pinksultana
I hope you get better soon. I know exactly how you feel with yourself for having deviated, but at least you have managed to get as far as you have and when you are feeling ill and like crap it is so easy to fall off. If it makes you feel any better, here I am just having got through day 1 for the upteenth time. I went back on the Cohen program about a month ago, got through (just about!) 3 days of 100% sticking to it, and then on day 4 all went out of the window. I am sure you can imagine how I have been feeling - totally disgusted with myself that I do not have the power to not make food rule me. So here I am again. I am going to take one day at a time.
I hope you are back on track but don't be too hard on yourself. good luck and get better soon
Hey Girls, don't be down on yourselves, think of it this way, you could just let one little deviation turn into 9 months of binge eating like me. I know how you both feel but the past is the past, we can't change it we can only work on tomorrow. So tomorrow we are all going to go full steam ahead, no one can stop us, we will succeed because we deserve it!
I hope your feeling better soon. I have been sick for the last 12 weeks with influenza, heaps of secondary infections (I'm not kidding 8 courses of antibiotics, not to mention nearly 3 weeks off work!) then just when I though it had gone, I have gone and developed this nasty cough. It lasts for hours, most nights until the early hours of the day and night. I so wish it would stop.
Nothing makes you feel worse about yourself then when you have deviated and your sick on top of it. It seems our natural instinct is to deviate at these times. The fact that you acknowledge this and are planning on moving forward shows your determination and your willingness to win.
You poor thing - you sound like you have been through the wars with being ill for so long. I do hope you get better soon.
Thank you for your words of encouragement, you are so right - the past is past and all we can do is focus on being slimmer tomorrow!!
take care of yourself and get better soon. Annemarie
Hope you get well soon. Don't give yourself to hard a time just give yourself time to recuperate and get your bodies metabolism up and running and then take little steps towards completing your weightloss goal.
You will get there with little help from all of us here.
All the Best
Sam
How you feeling today Annemarie? I do hope your feeling better. I myself have upped my dose of inner health plus and multivitamins just until I can get my immune system back to working properly.
Did you get up to anything interesting today? or did you get a rest?
well my sinus infection is on the way out. Althought I was in bed by 8pm last nigth because I was sooooooo tired! I just feel so much better when eating on the cohens plan, and so lousy when I deviate - I need to tattooo this onto my forehead so next time im tempted I can go stand in the mirror and see why its not good to deviate!
Im still tired this morning after 13 hours sleep arghhh... But I think thats more to do with high stress at work rather than cohens, or maybe a bit of both.
Well another day another little peice of fatness gone
