BEATING THE ODDS AND ACHIEVING THE LIFE YOU DESERVE

SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE
Julie speaks on a variety of topics that appeal to Christian and Faith-based Organizations.
Topics include:
GOD DOESN’T MAKE ANY LOSERS
Through her personal experience on “The Biggest Loser”, Julie shares what God revealed to her about her own personal worth and how He views His children. When the world beats you down, devalues your worth and calls you a “loser” - Julie is hear to testify that “God doesn’t make any losers!”
ONE LITTLE DAVID AND A BUNCH OF GOLIATHS
Although classified as “morbidly obese” Julie was the smallest contestant on Season 4 of the hit reality show “The Biggest Loser”. The prejudice she felt in “the real world” for being too big - was turned to reverse discrimination on the set of the Show - for being too small. From the beginning she was counted out as not being strong enough (or big enough) to succeed. She showed them all! Julie shares through this presentation that “Little is much when God is in it” and that even a “little David” can be victorious against the great big “Goliaths” of life!
REAL BEAUTY IS NOT DEFINED BY ANY SCALE
Julie’s experience losing nearly 100 pounds (44.5% of her body weight) in about 8 months was extreme. It happened through extreme circumstances and it changed nearly every part of her life. Obviously it changed the way others looked at her and it changed the way she looked at herself. But ironically, losing the weight was LESS about the physical aspect of beauty and MORE about the way she internalized those feelings. Through her experience God has revealed very specific things to Julie about what “real beauty” is. It’s about good health and taking care of the body God has given each of us. It’s an exciting revelation that has made a difference in her life and she’d love to share it with you!
LOSING THE “BABY WAIT”
After years of suffering with Endometriosis and Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and after over three hours of surgery on her reproductive system, Julie gave birth prematurely to a beautiful 4 pound 7 ounce baby boy in 2000. She always wanted a large family and tried for many years afterwards to conceive again. She believed her excessive weight gain, which intensifies the symptoms of PCOS, played a big role in her inability to not have another baby and doctors confirmed her fears. Becoming a mother again was one of the benefits she hoped would come from her experience on “The Biggest Loser.” And it did! But not quite as she had planned. In a miraculous story of God’s perfect timing intersecting with His perfect will - Julie shares of how the adoption of her son transpired so quickly it will make your head spin. It’s a story that will leave you with the confirmation that God truly is at work in the lives of those who trust in Him. He’s still in the “miracle business” and Julie’s thrilled to be able to share the story of her little miracle with you.
