Hi, everyone.
Here is the assignment for this week:
1.) Recommit to finishing the summer with us–even if you feel you haven’t made ANY progress!
2.) Do the perfect meal exercise from day 15.
3.) Spend some time practicing gratitude! Even better if you start a gratitude blog!
4.) Continue to add to your list of attributes of God.
5.) Take time each day (5 minutes?) to praise Him for His attributes and the things you are filled with gratitude for.
6.) This week, how about waiting until you are at a 0 each time you eat? Ok, a week seems like a long time. How about today…or your next meal. Can you wait for 0 for your next meal? 🙂
7.) If you feel so led, try using the hunger graph as presented in chapter 17 of the book–or try using one of the other tools and let us know how it works. Again, ask God first. He may lead you NOT to use the tools. That is great. But some of us he DOES lead us to use the tools for a season here or there. Let us know what you experience.
8.) Chapters 18 and 19 are worthy of a slow go through. So this week, we will work prayerfully through chapter 18 and chapter 19. I anticipate you may have some questions or comments. Please please feel free to use the blog here for discussion. I feel like we have lost our momentum. Let’s tell Satan what to do with the spirit of discouragement and apathy that he may be trying to spread. Let’s trade our sorrow for the joy of the Lord and our spirit of despair for a garment of praise! Let’s choose joy! 🙂
Are you still with me? (Or, with me again? :-))
I would love to see a roll call! Let us know you are with us!
I'm with you!I've really enjoyed the last 6-7 weeks with all of you ladies. I'm learning so much, even though I haven't seen dramatic changes in my waistline. This has been totally worth it.Come on ladies:"si se puede" = "yes it can be done"!Yvonne

I just received some really bad news yesterday (info on blog if anyone is interested)so I, too, will be here but perhaps not always consistently. The TW book, our comments and videos are outstanding. I don't want it to end.Blessings to all of you!

I'm still here, but it has been a busy summer and now I am a little ill. I think it is the heat. I just finished reading day 15, so I am a little behind, but still plugging away. Next week, I am kitchen staff for children's camp so not sure if I will be able to be online. My momentum is not as strong, but I am determined not to quit. Thanks, Heidi, for keeping us on track.

I just stumbled across your blog last night and I wanted to let you know what an encouragement it is. I have never struggled with my weight I have only let it go up and up and up. I have half heatedly tried to loos the weight but I never put much effort into it. Last August I hit my all time high of 251 and on a 5'2" frame that is a lot. So I started working out and counting calories and by January had lost 26. I was happy needless to say, until around Easter when we became very busy with church and then I got sick. No more working out meant I put on 18 in 2 weeks. So last Thursday I was at the bookstore and decided to pick up the weight down book since i had sort of tried it when I was in high school. Talked my hubby into doing it to and when he took the book with him to work i went online to find some more info. Needless to say I was disturbed by what i found. We both continued reading the book and following the principles and having success so far (6 gone so far) all the while wishing there was something better out there. Even though it was just last night i cant remember what i typed in to come across your blog. I had never heard of Thin Within, I'm not into horses, and I don't have any children. Whatever the Holy Spirit had me type I'm sure glad he did. Your words are wonderful, encouraging, motivational and full of insight. Thank you for allowing God to use you to show me His way for my life and my weight. With Joy, Betsey

Hey Heidi! I am in this as well but I am much more behind than where you are which is ok. I am in chapter 4/day 4. going into day 5/chapter 5. So I am in this and reading just not totally up to where you guys are. I love this blog, I was doing TLT along with TW worokbook #1 and slowly reading TW and this blog, though now the Lord has led me to stop TLT and rather begin reading TW and reading your blog instead, I am very thankful because your words inspire me and point me directly to God and its amazing, keep up the Lord's work you are doing, you are shining bright for Him!
