Valerie's Success Story - Losing 185 lbs

After years of listening to the rude comments made by strangers, the insults thrown my way every day of my life. Not being able to go to certain restaurants because I could not fit into the booths. Ordering clothes out of a catalog that if I got any larger would not fit either. Years of being lonely with out a boyfriend. Years of sitting at home while my friends had fun because I was too large to the things that I so longed for. Simple things for others like taking a bath were becoming difficult. I sat back and reflected all those years of pain that had been building up inside. My entire life was almost hopeless. At 300 pounds, I could hardly do anything that a normal 26-year-old should be able to do. I was through. Through trying to lose weight. Through trying to find a boyfriend. Through trying to change the person that I was. I was a 350-pound, 27-year-old female with good morals, a great family. and the best friends, and that was good enough for me.

Then it happened. I was not even looking for it, but it happened. In September 2001, I received an email about a lady who had lost 130 pounds and wanted to tell me how I could do this too. I laughed out loud and wanted to tell her that I already knew everything there was to know about dieting and there was no way that she could help me! I ignored the email and continued my happy life (HA). The next week, I received yet another newsletter by this woman; this persistent woman named Julia Havey. JUNK MAIL. How did my name get on her junk mail list? This time, however, I opened it, I read it, and what an impact.

For the first time in my life my goal was not to lose 200 pounds, but to change my life one step at a time. I know now that this was my first step towards success. I stuck to it and continued to stay motivated by Julia s inspirational newsletters and her positive attitude. I started to take simple steps, and most importantly started to change my attitude and my belief about losing weight. I started to drop weight at the rate of 4 pounds per week. [The short of it is] after 4 months people really began noticing my weight loss, and strangers, customers in my store, began commenting, and this only fueled the fire! I wanted to succeed even more. I went on to lose 176 pounds and wearing a size 12. Julia says the LifeChanger would help change my life, but I had no idea just how much my life would change. I would tell anyone wanting to lose weight and change their life, to get the lifechanger program. It will work for you! Thank you Julia!!
