"My problem is that when school starts, I think I am only going to have about three pair of pants that half-way fit me. What a problem to have; I love Z !"

“My indulgence was three bites of peanut butter pie. MMMM good. I really felt like I was cheating. Three bites were perfect because (as you taught me) I savored every bite. I made sure I tasted it, instead of just eating it. I don’t think I ever really tasted it before.”

“I am so excited to be on a roll! I was thrilled to see my scale number this morning.”

"When I spoke with one person at my workplace, the first thing she asked me for was a couple of sample days' menus. I told her there weren't any and, with Z, she could eat anything she wanted! She didn't know what to say."

“I have already gone down a pant size!”

“I would love a glass of white zinfandel, but I’d rather eat those calories.”

"I cannot wear any of my pants any more and that's great! I bought a new belt about three weeks ago and I've already punched two new holes in it. Thanks for the advice along the way."

“Bill, you are so gifted. I think you have found another one of your numerous talents.”

“I seem to NOT be hungry, which is great and a minor miracle. I’m full with each meal and had only 100 calories in snack form today.”

“I need help, suggestions, and encouragement—something to hang on to.”

“My primary care internal medicine physician is thrilled. His nurse Linda is even more impressed.”
