I have two words HOPE and FAITH. Those two words sum up me going through the Skinny Jeans Challenge. I HOPE, HOPE, HOPE anytime I step on the scale that the direction it is going is down. And even when it doesn't I must have FAITH in the Skinny Jeans program that I will see the results. I lost weight immediately, the first two weeks, however the follwing two weeks my scale was virtually stuck. I HOPED everyday it would get moving again and had to keep the FAITH in the program. And then, last week I lost 3lbs and broke through the plateu! I think I literally cried tears of joy. Not only for the break through on my scale but more so for the mental "break through"....knowing that I had Hope and especially Faith on my side. "I BELIEVE!" Now, that is a powerful tool!
