I have completed my 5th week on Cohen with no
deviations yey! So far everything has been great. I don’t feel deprived and no cravings, well
except for those times when we went to dinner parties and I just drink cola and
everyone is feasting on a sumptuous dinner :D. However, the sacrifices far outweigh the
benefits and rewards of sticking to my eating plan.
In the past months, I have bought dresses that are a dress
size (or two) smaller thinking that I will wear them when I’m thinner. It has been months though (or for some a year
or a bit more) and they still hang in my closet with their tags on looking
lonely and craving to be taken out of the dark corner of the abyss that is my
cabinet.
However, this all changed on my fifth week on Cohen! It was
in the morning, it was still a bit early and I was thinking of what to wear
when all of a sudden, an idea clicked inside my head, seriously, I could almost
see the light bulb pop on top of my head (teehee). I thought, why not try how much further am I
from actually wearing this dress that I have bought months (I’m not even sure
if it was a year ago) from mango. I was
so excited while I was slipping the dress through and lo and behold, it fits! I was so excited that I didn’t change clothes
anymore. The dress that I have so longed
to wear for the past months finally fit! Ecstatic!
I was so excited that I just went on about preparing to go
to work and went off my merry way strutting my way about showing off this blue
dress that finally saw daylight. When I
got home that evening and while I was changing my clothes, I laughed so loud
when I realized that due to my excitement, I completely forgot to take the tag
off! Good thing it stayed inside the
dress and didn’t show :D. In my defence,
I didn’t plan to wear it, I was just trying it on to see how much more I had to
lose to fit into it (LOL!).
I clearly remember the day that I bought that dress, there
was a sale on Mango and I bought 3 dresses and out of the three I have only
worn 1 dress in the past, the two are a dress size (or two) smaller. So encouraged by my success the previous day,
the following day, I tried on the other dress and my oh my, it fits! Happy, happy me!
I have rummaged through my closet and started sorting out
the clothes that fits me again…. I’m slowly conquering an entire closet of my
clothes from previous years that all fit again!
I’m so encouraged and psyched to keep on going, this really
is an amazing journey
So far I have lost 29lbs!
