For years, people have asked me how I went from a size 12/14 to a size 6 in just two years. They expect a secret diet. A strict routine. A list of rules. But the truth is so much simpler, softer, and far more divine.
I did it through love.
Not discipline.
Not punishment.
Not pressure.
Just love — the kind that heals you from the inside out.
The Moment My Life Shifted
My transformation began the moment I stopped fighting and started listening. I released the expectations, the deadlines, the shame, and the pressure to “fix” myself. I let go of the scale — literally threw it in the trash — and chose peace instead.
I started talking to my mindbody like she was a living temple. The body is composed of the mind as well. It's a living, powerful being that responds and reacts to all. I'll explain this in divine time.
I apologized to my organs for neglecting them.
I apologized to my womb for the harm I allowed through lust and unaligned intimacy.
I apologized to my heart for every time I ignored her whispers.
I apologized to my limbs for carrying burdens that were never mine.
And something sacred happened.
I began to release everything that wasn’t love.
The heaviness.
The tension.
The emotional weight.
The spiritual residue.
The hate I had unknowingly stored in my tissues.
Hate shows up as inflammation, mucus, stagnation, and weight we carry that isn’t ours. Hate is all that creates the opposite of love in the mindbody: itching, burning, rashes, noise in the mental (thoughts), all mental illness, pain, disease, etc. When I released the hate, I released the weight.
Soft Living Became My Medicine
I didn’t force myself into intense workouts.
I didn’t obsess over calories.
I didn’t chase perfection.
I moved gently.
I stretched a few days a week.
I stayed active in ways that felt joyful, not punishing.
I ate with intention, not fear.
I lived softly — and softness reshaped me.
The more peace I cultivated, the more my mindbody responded.
The more love I poured into myself, the more my mindbody opened.
The more faith I practiced, the more my life aligned.
Faith Carried Me the Rest of the Way
This journey wasn’t just physical — it was spiritual.
I prayed.
I meditated.
I surrendered.
I trusted that God, my guardians, and my ancestors were guiding me toward a version of myself I had never met before.
And they did.
They led me to a place where I reached oneness. I was no longer separated from my body. A place where I no longer lived in survival mode. A place where I could bloom without fear.
Two Years Later
Without pressure.
Without punishment.
Without obsession.
I went from a size 12/14 to a size 6.
Not because I hated myself into submission — but because I loved myself into freedom.
What I Know Now
Love is medicine.
Peace is nourishment.
Faith is transformation.
When you choose softness over struggle, your mindbody responds.
When you choose love over fear, your life shifts.
When you choose faith over force, everything becomes possible.
This journey taught me that weight loss doesn’t have to be war.
It can be worship.
It can be healing.
It can be a return to yourself.
And that is the heart of Petals & Pages — blooming through softness, rising through love, and trusting that every transformation begins within.
