Success Stories

“I love every inch of the person I am.”

“Thank you for helping me to see how wonderful I am! I have released over 45 pounds of body fat since we first talked in January. You helped me to move to a different path in my life and I am helping others to see the potential in theirs. I feel wonderful and love the life I am living. I love every inch of the person I am. Thank you so much for your powerful words of affirmation, your insight and your love! Thank you for giving me a new way to look at life!” ~ Lynnel

“I never thought this was possible until I met Laura and worked through Body Image Mastery.”

“Look at what I was able to achieve in my 50s, thanks to Laura Fenamore. 80 lbs. gone FOREVER. Laura taught me tools and there is no turning back now. I never thought this was possible until I met Laura and worked through Body Image Mastery.” ~ Kathleen

“I’ve learned to listen to what my body is telling me, and to give it the nourishment and movement that it’s asking for.”

“Since going through Laura’s program, I am living more intentionally and I find myself often setting daily intentions, something I never did before. Previously, I had positive self-esteem surrounding my mind and my spirit, but I viewed my body as an enemy to be conquered. I now get the mind-body-spirit connection, and I view my body as a constant, loyal companion to be appreciated and nurtured. I’ve learned to listen to what my body is telling me, and to give it the nourishment and movement that it’s asking for (at least, most of the time). When I do give in and indulge in foods that aren’t the healthiest, I enjoy them and do not let the old story of guilt distract from the enjoyment.” ~ Florrie

“Now I know why I make the choices I do, what my triggers are and how to proactively plan for those times that are tough for me.”

“I’ve released 25 pounds since I started the program a year ago and I KNOW this is my new body forever!! Today I shopped for some new clothes because (yeah!) none of my old pants fit. And while the thrill of repeatedly trying on size 8 pants that fit was thrilling, what was most thrilling was knowing I’ll never be back where I was again. Never again saying, I can’t believe I let the weight come back on.  Because now I know why I make the choices I do, what my triggers are and how to proactively plan for those times that are tough for me. I still enjoy my steak, chocolate and beloved scones and lattes but I make conscious, aware choices when I am enjoying them, and conscious choices not to at other times. It really is easy now and I never thought that would be me. Thanks, Laura, for changing my life in so many way.” ~ Julie

“It is working, it is working, it is working!”

“Laura, your work is totally amazing. It is a gift to be your student. I’m down a total of 25 lbs. from the last time I weighed myself, 6 months ago—woo hoo!—and now it feels like it’s really working and it’s falling off. Hooray! It is working, it is working, it is working! I love this work with you. It is excellent. And I acknowledge myself for finding it! Thank you.” ~ Leslie

“Diets dont’ work, self-love does.”

“I was caught in the trap of:

… Negative self-talk
… Self-denial and denial of self
… The belief that there was a diet out there that would work, I just needed to find the right one
… The belief that I was flawed in many ways
… The belief that I had to be thin before I was OK, loved or simply accepted

The freedom I feel (the majority of the time… still have some of that old garbage that stinks from time to time!) Is:

… I create my own reality through my thoughts and the Law of Attraction and that how I feel is my guideline
… Diets dont’ work, self-love does…and I am not alone and I can be loved as I am, for who I am, not for how thin I am
… I am not ‘bad’  or ‘inferior’ just because it says ‘Large’ on the tag
… Fun doesn’t only come in a ‘Small.’”

~ India

“Not being distracted by the idea that I was an ugly girl was like freedom.”

“I always love the story of working with Laura. I love that I am her “biggest” success story (hahahaha). Why? Because I stayed the same size (a cute size 18), but lost a thousand pounds of self hatred and ‘not good enough’—I ended up so beautiful). Not being distracted by the idea that I was an ugly girl was like freedom. Laura, I don’t know how I ever repay that gift, but I go back and read the stories on my blog about working with you all the time. I shed the skin of an ugly girl, and a beautiful woman stepped out and got to share a great year or two with her dad.” ~ Mary

“If I hadn’t experienced it myself, I don’t think I would have believed it to be possible.”

“Hi Laura, I just had to send you a note to let you know what an incredible blessing the last twelve weeks have been for me. My life has changed so much in such a short time, if I hadn’t experienced it myself, I don’t think I would have believed it to be possible. I sit here today incredibly grateful for the amazing blessings that just keep unfolding for me. Your course is designed in such a masterful way, even though the exercises are not all fun and games, you make the entire journey a pleasant experience. And when you add in the fantastic group interaction on the weekly calls—the momentum of the entire thing is unbeatable. Your love and support come across in everything you do and I’m grateful to be able to call you my friend.” ~ KB

“It was OK to slow down, breathe deeply and love me.”

“How did Laura help me? Through her heart! Laura constantly reaffirmed and prodded me to the realization that in order to change my outside, I had to love my inside. I had to take care of me—and it was OK to slow down, breathe deeply and love me. Through individual gentle confrontations, meditations, and loving kindness sessions, Laura reassured me of my worth, made me realize the damaging self-deprecating patterns with which I had abused myself since childhood. Through teleconferencing, Laura brought a group of women with similar issues together to meditate, confer, discuss issues, and make commitments of loving behaviors for ourselves. Forgiving oneself and forgiving others is a central theme of the inner work Laura facilitates.” ~ Brenda

“This life change is for me, not my husband, kids or friends.”

“I had my 90th day celebration of accomplishing a new way to look at foods! My tastes have changed; I tried to eat some things I thought I was missing i.e. pizza, pumpkin bread, ice cream etc.…and found the desire isn’t there anymore. Yahoo! The difference between this journey and past episodes of weight loss is my mental state (thanks Laura for that). This life change is for me, not my husband, kids or friends. Love ya’all!” ~ Penny

“Laura’s work is about weight loss; however, what makes it different is that it addresses the whole you. It clears. It opens. It sticks.”

“I’m already permanently changed and we’re just one-third of the way into your program! I’ve tried numerous programs, but have never affected a change at such a cellular level. Maybe this change is possible because we’re doing this as a group, or because I’m partnered with another to hold ourselves accountable, or because of your caring and direct-approach to coaching. Laura’s work is about weight loss; however, what makes it different is that it addresses the whole you. It clears. It opens. It sticks.” ~ Terry O.

“It’s about why we eat, neglect our bodies, put others first—not about what we eat.”

“I have done Weight Watchers before and just random things here or there. This differs in the approach—it’s about why we eat, neglect our bodies, put others first—not about what we eat. Your key themes and thesis about getting to the root of the why and not the what are much different (and in some ways much more personal and challenging). But it is precisely this difference that offers participants a chance to fundamentally shift and permanently change their relationship to their bodies, the people in their lives and of course, the food they eat.” ~ Corinne

“This course made me look at things I had allowed to settle and I no longer want to settle.”

“Laura Fenamore’s program, ‘Body Image Mastery,’ was something that tipped my full glass of my life over, where all the stuff that had settled came to the top. This course made me look at things I had allowed to settle and I no longer want to settle. Thank you, Laura, for sharing this program with me.” ~ Debi

“Taking it one day at a time.”

“Hello beautiful Laura, My new way of being now since I have started this work is: 1) Taking it one day at a time; 2) making conscious choices; 3) Choosing what will bring me closer to my dreams coming true and because they will come true if I stay the course.” ~ Leanne

“The group calls were very supportive and the program helps your whole life.”

“Thank you for inviting me to be a part of your 12 week Body Image Mastery program. I found it to be exactly what I needed during a really rough patch in my life. The group calls were very supportive and the program helps your whole life. I loved meeting and felt connected with all of those strong, beautiful women from all over the world. Laura, your kindness, wisdom and generosity shine through this program and in to the participants hearts and I thank you for that.” ~ Bridget

“I finally lost these 18 lbs.”

“Thank goodness for this program because I finally lost these 18 lbs. I have been wanting to release for a long time & FOR GOOD.” ~ Lorraine

“I am now in a place of clarity, acceptance, love and peace, rather than confusion, chaos and finding constant fault with myself.”

“I came to One Pinky feeling broken and in need of fixing. Through Laura’s loving work I am now in a place of clarity, acceptance, love and peace, rather than confusion, chaos and finding constant fault with myself. This 12 week program changed my life in the best possible ways.” ~ Leah

“If someone told me a year ago that I could lose 30 pounds by learning to love myself I would have not believed them.”

“Today I can claim, with my inner thoughts and outside behaviors to support this, that I operate out of love. I cannot claim that I do this perfectly and never slip up, but those slip ups last moments to days now, versus months to years. If someone told me a year ago that I could lose 30 pounds by learning to love myself I would have not believed them. Today, this moment, I can claim, I lost 30 pounds by loving myself!” ~ Gina

“Food is not the enemy.”

“I have only been weighed periodically at doctors’ offices (I don’t get on scale in between) and at my highest I was 160. Working with you I dropped about 15 pounds without much effort. I have been 135-140 lbs before but still wore size 8 or 10 pants. Now I fit comfortably in a 6. I am most proud of working out with a trainer, dancing AND, with your help, releasing the emotional charge about food. Thank you for holding space for me to release my baggage so I do not have to hold onto weight. Ice cream and chocolate are musts for me and they no longer scare me. Food is not the enemy.” ~ Lisa

“You will experience transformation.”

“Take the course that is yours—here before you—now. Be willing to let it work for you. Be willing to be that part of you that knows there is a fight left—that knows there is something worth fighting for—that part of you that is a sister—a friend—someone’s love. You will experience transformation. There is so much healing, when you say ‘yes’ to this door that is opening in front of you. You made it appear. Now, lift your head and walk in. The 12 week Body Image Mastery course is waiting for you. You are not alone. It worked for me and I know it can work for you.” ~ Danielle

“This Spring I was at the beach every week….in a bikini and feeling damn good about it.”

“Laura, my work with you helped me immensely in getting out of old ruts. It’s been a process and it is ongoing. I continue to read and write and play with my feelings. I feel my feelings instead of stuffing them inside of me. And every day I find myself learning something new that helps me know myself better. And love myself better. I just feel like I am blooming once again. It’s so cool. This Spring I was at the beach every week….in a bikini and feeling damn good about it. I plan on continuing to feel better and better about my body in the days ahead. Loving yourself when you see a wider butt in the mirror. That it is a huge trick. It is possible though. Namaste.” ~ Kathryn
