Finally! Hope does not disappoint!

I have been waiting for this! I have not seen under 250 lbs since October 11, 2008. Imagine! I had been stuck for almost one year in the 250s.

But I did it! I hung in there and finally today was the day! Now I know that I am definitely on my way.

When I first talked to Brittany, my Jenny Craig consultant, I was just so jaded at her optimism. I thought it was cute that she was so hopeful and I was not. At one point in the conversation, I could feel the faintest stirrings of hope just talking to her but I squelched them. I had been disappointed so many times that really I was afraid to be hopeful. But not any more! It didn't happen when I thought it would happen but I persevered and today was the day!

And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations,
knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;
and perseverance, character; and character, hope.
And hope does not disappoint...(Romans 5:3-5)
