These are some inspiring words about Momentum from Dr. Lewis in a past chat on this forum:

Momentum is a powerful, important force that can help us reach our goal. As important as it is to really want to be thin, and as important as it is to control hunger, and as important as it is to be able to delay gratification, momentum can keep us going…[Read more]

Thank you guys!

Made it through today without one extra bite!! Whew! It was a tough one. Getting decaf coffee to sip on has helped tremendously. I water it down and put ice in it. Just a little flavor helps. The taste of black coffee now tastes like 5 bite success to me.

I love the feeling of going to sleep, looking forward to getting up and g…[Read more]

Embrace the urgency!! It will come snd ho – but making the best of those powerful surges will keep propelling you to the next decade!!

I do best when I check off the days. Routine is the best thing to focus on – the weight will follow.

Naps help on tough days.

I used to joke that if I had to choose between hubby or cpap – cpap would win!! But to my amazement – during a 9-hr overnight power outage from one of the recent hurricanes – I was able to sleep without it. That is a miracle – because for two decades I could not!

I have a cpap machine and since using it I have slept so much better, but I know sleeping issues are the worst and DON’T help with making good food choice. I am really looking forward to getting off my cpap. I know it is coming with weight loss

<p style=”text-align: left;”>I just had lunch and it was a real struggle for me to stop at 5 bites. I don’t know why sometimes it feels exciting and easy and other days I just want to overeat. You are so close to your goal. We can do this</p>

Kylie replied to the topic I am so thankful for coffee in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 2 years ago

I’ve never really been into iced coffee except for a Frappuccino, but I might need to try with summer coming here

I am having a tough day. I want extra bites of some trigger foods that my daughter has in the fridge. But I will make it through today without caving into temptation. I know that is would not be worth it if I did eat it. I just have to tell myself this over and over. And I would feel way worse if I did!!! We can do this!!

Michelle replied to the topic I am so thankful for coffee in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 2 years ago

I like iced black coffee too!

And trying all the different coffees in the cafes in your town sounds so fun!

Michelle replied to the topic The importance of sleep on this diet in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 2 years ago

Sending lots of good thoughts! I really want to reach for some extra food today, but I am sipping on black coffee. I came to the forum for inspiration. It is nice to be reminded that I am not alone on this journey. And the challenges we face today will be so worth it once we reach our goal!!

Kylie replied to the topic I am so thankful for coffee in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 2 years ago

I am loving my black coffee after being a full cream milk flat white with 2 sugar for forever. I am even making my way through all the cafes in town and trying all their long black coffees.

Yes, you can make a lot of progress in 20 weeks. You may even be 75% on your way to goal.

I’m feeling a bit sleep deprived today and am pushing ahead with black coffee (only partially caffeinated, due to doctor’s orders).

I would say it makes harder (not impossible) to down sugary things.

Wish me luck.

Elizabeth W. replied to the topic I am so thankful for coffee in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 2 years ago

Yes, I’m feeling sleep deprived. I like mine iced, black. If I didn’t have it I would be reaching for something sweet.

I just got my french press out, and bought some fresh decaf coffee beans. I have not been drinking coffee, but I am being reintroduced to how satisfying a black cup of coffee can be! I have my Halloween ghost mug!! I am listening to an old chat while working. I love being reminded of how many wonderful little pleasures that life offers outside…[Read more]

We are all in a fast moving wave of weight loss together!!

Michelle replied to the topic Darn, I missed tonight's chat! in the forum The Slimming Station Diet 2 years ago

That is wonderful! A new job, along with a new way of living and dealing with food!
