Cohen's Diet; Day 27.

I'm coming up to 4 weeks on the Cohen's Lifestyle Program on Thursday. I feel like I have hit a bit of a plateau and that I haven't lost any weight this week, but then again, this has happened before and then I've dropped a kilo over night so it's hard to tell. The Cohen's Clinic send me an email once a week telling me what to expect at each stage. The one for this week said I should really start to burn fat now after 21 days on the program, but that it might not translate on the scales so I should only weigh myself monthly as to not get discouraged. I certainly see their point, but I don't seem able to ween myself off the scales for more than a few days at a time.

I've notived this week that a little bit of frustration has crept in over not being finished already. It's funny, it's like there has been such a shift in my mind and eating that it feels wrong to still be overweight, like my mind no longer matches my body. Almost as if before I commenced this journey I had the mind of an overweight person, and so it fit with my body. I also ate like an overweight person. Now that I eat like a slim person, and my mind is that of a slim person, it is uncomfortable waiting around in an overweight body until my body catches up. It is just that realisation that I have to keep up this dedication and determination for a long time yet. I can see how so many people give up after a while.

I've started watching MasterChef again, which I haven't watched since I watched the first season with my brother in 2009. I haven't watched the TV for a long time and I've been amazed to see how many advertisements there are for fastfood! I am not sure that watching a show about all the kinds of foods I can't have at the moment is helpful, but I do enjoy watching it. I am starting to really look forward to the day when I can have a glass of wine again though, or a piece of chocolate!!!

Wish me luck for weigh in!
