Sister Spotlight: Jamie Showmaker!
Jan 28, 2015
Are you stuck in a vicious cycle of DIETING? It’s so frustrating to work hard and yield ZERO RESULTS. Right?
Enter Jamie Showmaker, one of our fabulous Sisters in our Momsanity Sisterhood.
Jamie explains how her life has been transformed and how her pants keep falling off.
Five years.
That is how long I had been struggling with my weight and lack of energy/exhaustion. I cannot believe I floundered for so long! I had tried every “diet” under the sun with zero success, and I had been to my physician multiple times to check for thyroid issues and other problems that could be causing my health issues. Each time, I was told that my thyroid levels were “borderline” and the solution was to quit breastfeeding my infants and to count calories. Month after month passed and I felt more exhausted, frustrated, and dejected. I KNEW there was something going on in my body that was keeping me from losing weight and making me feel terrible that went deeper than “counting calories” because THAT clearly wasn’t working; I just hadn’t found the answer.
A friend told me about the Momsanity Sisterhood and I decided to try it...what did I have to lose? At first I thought it was just another weight loss fad. But as the coaches worked to educate me about the role of hormones and nutrition in fat loss, I felt as if I were inching closer to an answer to my health issues. I began to seek the coaches’ expertise and referrals until I finally found a physician who did the appropriate testing. I was shocked when I got the results of my labs: hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, low progesterone and other hormones, severely deficient in vitamin D and iron stores, and (most importantly) gluten and casein (dairy) intolerant! No wonder I felt terrible and kept gaining weight!
It has been six weeks and I have made only one change–I gave up ALL gluten and dairy and began eating the “Momsanity” way. I feel like a completely different person!
- I have energy that I haven’t had in a decade.
- I haven’t seen the scale move much, but last week, I could no longer keep my jeans up!
- I pulled out a pair that I haven’t been able to wear since my 3rd son was born over a year ago and they buttoned easily! I wore them for a day before I realized that they were falling off too!
- I pulled out a pair that I haven’t worn since my second son was born and they buttoned easily too! I could not believe it!
- Two sizes down in 6 weeks! Today, I was walking in front of my mom and she said, “honey, you need to get you some new jeans; those are too big.”
I am elated because the physical changes on the outside are merely a reflection of the health that is being restored on the inside. I am so grateful to the momsanity coaches for helping me get my life back. Now it’s time for me to jump into the workouts! I still have a long way to go to reach my goal, but I already feel as if I can conquer the world.
