HopetoSkrink New Diary

Hi All.

I followed Dr C in September 2008, starting weigh 83.5 and reached my goal of 68Kg, but stupidly did not follow my re-feed! I kept the weight off until 2011 when the weight started to creep back and then I fell pregnant with my first little person, weighing in at 115kg. I was 97kg after my little man was born. This was followed by immigration, new job, new house, new country and in 2015 falling pregnant with my second little person. I was 97kg when I fell pregnant, and with the nutritionist help, only gained 10kg, of which most fell off after baby was born, but weighing in at 98kg again I had to do something. So September 2012 I began Cohen's again, but tried to not weigh my food as much so that I didn't get stressed out with the new baby ect. I would have a tiny bite of a chocolate, or a glass of wine here and there, and the weight did drop and by Christmas 2012 I was 87kg. Following that by July 2017 I was a 82kg, and have not really budged since. On Sunday I decided to go deviation free like my very 1st try at Cohens. I want to weigh 68kg by the 12th of January 2019. That will be my 37th birthday. I am hoping to be around 70kg on the 1st of January so I can start re-feed then. Ironically my start weight is 83.5kg which was my weight during my first successful attempt. I love the programme, and although I have tried 1000's of plans, etc this is the only one which works for me. I just need to stick to it. I read an article a few nights ago which says you have to have a big enough 'why' to see weight loss through, and mine cam two weeks ago when one of my sons friends told him he though I was fat....and my son said No, its just my moms jumper. I don't want him to have to ever deal with a comment like that again. I also want to be a great role model for my little girl and her association with food. I know my goal maybe a bit of a high ask, but I will give it my all. I don't want to waste another year of my life like this.
So wish me luck. I have got my measurements and my start weight, and I will try not weigh for as long as possible.
