My story (so far)

My name is Jamie and I am a mom to three beautiful, amazing children. Mia is 5, Ben is 3, and Anthony is 6 months.

I’ve struggled with my weight pretty much since I learned what weight was, and I’ve dramatically fluctuated throughout my entire life. In my younger years, before I had children, I had a very unhealthy relationship with food. When I did loose weight dramatically it was in an extremely unhealthy way.

My views of myself were not only destroying me, but I allowed them to destroy relationships and even non weight related goals because I thought I wasn’t good enough.

Now that Ive been able to manage to maintain a healthy weight, I have never felt happier, healthier and more energetic. I am able to be the active hands on mom that I had always wanted to be. I have increased confidence, self esteem and finally feel true self worth. I am not saying that your weight by any means determines a persons self worth. For me, I think that the reason I feel this is because I had worked hard for something and achieved it. I was proud of what my body and I had achieved.

I am not perfect by any means, No one is. Just like everyone else, I had and still have ‘bad’ days, trust me. But what I really want people to know, is that losing weigh doesn't have to be this incredibly hard monstrous task. It really doesn't, I promise. Weight loss is simple. and it can even be fun! If you would have told me that ten years ago, I probably wouldn't have believed you.

It has now gotten to a point that Its not just about losing weight and looking good anymore. Its about showing and teaching my children strength, perseverance, determination, hard work, and the fight and struggle needed in order to achieve anything thats worth having and everything and anything that you want.

I want to teach my daughter that women can be strong, and all of my children that if you work hard and fight, anything is attainable. I don't want my children to fear hard work and difficult situations, I want them to embrace them and run into them screaming "bring it on, nothing can break me!"

The hardest part of a diet is starting one. What started off as a diet has become SO much more for me! I would have never imagined where life was going to take me just because I ‘started a diet”. Losing weight and getting fit and healthy has become a passion of mine now. I now work as a Fitness and Weight Loss Coach and am certified as a Lifestyle and Weight Management Specialist.

I now get to help others with the same things I struggled with and sill struggle with sometimes today, to show how they can overcome those obstacles that hold us back from becoming the best versions of ourselves! I am able to fulfill my passion of health and fitness and changing lives, while also continuing my own journey, all while building a lucrative business and career.

Just by starting a diet, I have completely changed my life, and my family’s lives for the better, and I couldn’t be happier.

For those of you who have not yet reached your goals, YOU GOT THIS!!! If I can do it, you can too!!!
Celebrate small goals, like just showing up and being here! What I have learned in the past couple of years is ANYTHING IS ATTAINABLE!!!
