Looking back and remember the feeling of no hope I didn't think I would ever see the day when I would wear my size 14's again. Before I started with Paul Mckenna's system I was in a size 22/24 and the thought of seeing size 14 was so far out there.
I have learned much in this new journey of mine and making small goals along the way will bring you to the ultimate goal you first set out to hit. I can say I never imagined how great it would feel to have gone through this and it was all me. I have control and I love trust and listen to my body.
I have been keeping tabs on where my body is at. I keep trying on my size 14 jeans. Just a few weeks ago I was excited because I was able to get them up and on and zip and button them. Now today I am confortable to say that I am a size 14. I tried on them jeans and they fit comfortably enough where I feel I can actually wear them!
I never thought about size 12 or even 10. Now I am, my new goal will be 12's. And I know I can do it. I know I still have more weight to lose, but I have achieved so much that if I don't make it there for a while I am so happy with all that I have come through.
You always hear people say if I can do it you can to. I used to hate hearing that because I didn't believe in myself. I thought up all those silly excuses why I can't. I don't have time, I don't have the will power, I hate to exercise and so on.
Not anymore. I started to change my thinking. I want to be healthy for me & my family. I want to keep that passion of growing love going between me and my husband. I want to show everyone that thinks that it can't be done that it can be. My strength comes from my heart and I want people to see me and not the shell I used to hide under.
I love to exercise and I have never eaten this healthy in my life. It is all naturally happening. It is a miracle that came from me, not a pill or diet.
I've never been a size 10. I was in a size 12 for like one month in high school I'd love to be there or maybe pass that. We will see where my body wants me to be. One day at a time and go with the flow.

Jamie,
To say I am proud of you would be an understatement. What you are accomplishing is a beautiful unfolding process and with each layer that is removed, the true you is more and more shining through radiantly.
You are an inspiration and I greatly admire the way you share yourself authentically. You are an incredible woman and I am proud to call you friend. We may live on opposite sides of the country, but I feel like you are a dear, close friend.
I am so happy to share this journey with you. Your transformation both within and without has been something to behold. I look forward to witnessing all the ways you are going to continue and grow.
Congratulations mama! Take some time to celebrate yourself and how far you've come. You also look smokin' in your little black dress!
