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!!
