Hi, I'm Jasmine Mays...
I am a recovered emotional eater, food addict, turned Certified Personal Trainer & Nutrition Coach.
I want to get to know you and I am pumped to help you reach your fitness goals.
Back in the day, I would stand in front of the bathroom mirror, staring at myself, and uncontrollably cry because I hated my body.
I’ve always loved fashion, clothing, and makeup and wanted to wear the latest and greatest trends…because I wanted to be fly!
But on shopping trips, I would search for cute outfits and NOTHING would fit.
This experience led me to feel sad & uncomfortable.
I fricken hated my body!
And those dang girdles and body shapers were so flipping uncomfortable, I could barely breathe.
The worst part of these shopping trips was, seeing all the other women come out of the fitting room looking so confident, happy, and carefree, and although I was smiling on the outside, I was dying on the inside.
Have you ever felt this way?
I have worked with countless women and girls who have had the same experience and the one thing we all had in common was that we all wanted to be invisible.
If there is one thing worse than hating your body, it’s wanting to be invisible!
Like:
Ugh!
Like most of you, I have been there as well.
The worst part is, we use these singular experiences to write our internal story of WHO we are. Literally, we’ll say, “I’m not pretty. I’m not smart. I could never be as confident as [that girl].”
All because of the way we feel about our bodies.
And of course, these statements are complete lies...being pretty, smart, and confident has nothing to do with the number on the scale, but everything to do with how we think and feel about ourselves.
How I became a Food Addict
As I told you before, I was an emotional eater who became a food addict. For me, this started at the tender age of five.
Like many girls, I grew up in a fatherless home. My dad became a cocaine addict, and my mom gave him an ultimatum…
Us or the drugs. He chose the drugs.
It was devastating for me because he had been my best friend, literally the best dad a little girl could ask for.
We went on playdates, had late-night races in the park, watched Beauty and the Beast, played Barbies, stopped for corn dogs after school, and wrote funny songs together. He was my BEST friend.
And suddenly, he was gone.
I didn’t understand it.
I couldn’t comprehend it.
He wasn’t gone because he had died. He was gone because he just didn’t choose me.
That was gut-wrenching.
And it was the end of my world.
My mom was trying to navigate the unexpected, exhausting world of being a newly single parent. She was now earning a single income but still had double-income family expenses and caring for her mentally ill mom, who lived with us.
Besides trying to recover from the emotional devastation of the loss of her marriage, her priority was to do everything she could to make sure we financially survived.
So that left me to myself…
Little five-year-old Jasmine…
Alone, abandon, broken, and unsure how to cope.
And then, I discovered food.
When I ate, everything seemed better.
Food never disappointed me.
Food never left me.
Food never abandoned me.
I felt good when I ate.
The pain disappeared when I ate.
I was happy when I ate.
So, I ate…
And ate,
And ate,
And ate some more.
And before I knew it, I was eating a double-cheeseburger, large fries, and drinking a large soda for lunch, EVERY DAY.
I ate 2-3 TV dinners at a time and stood in front of the microwave crying if they took too long to heat up.
I could eat a family-size bag of Doritos in one sitting, 3-4 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at once, and a box of Twinkies on my own.
I buried my emotions in food and used eating to numb the pain.
Suddenly, out of the blue, I woke up out of my self-induced food coma, extremely overweight and unsure how I had even gotten there, but what I did know was that I hated what I had done to my body.
Why did I do this to myself?
My body will never be “normal.”
I will always have these rolls, loose skin, and stretch marks.
The only way I knew how to cope with that pain, disappointment, and devastation was by EATING and eating, and eating some more, resulting in more weight gain, more body hate, more eating, more weight gain, more body hate, dieting, failure, more body hate, more eating, more weight gain, and on and on.
Sounds familiar, right?
Maybe you aren’t an emotional eater or food addict, but you wake up one day, look in the mirror and realize you have gained 20, 40, 70, 100 pounds, and you hate what you see staring back at you.
What can you do?
There are tons of diets, weight loss programs, and gimmicks out there. The Low-Carb Diet, The High-Fat Diet, The Only Eat these Frozen Boxed Meals Diet, and you can't forget the diet pills, lasers, and shots that claim to shrink your fat cells or those magical body wraps that supposedly make you thinner.
EYE ROLL.
But do they really make you feel better about your body?
Oh, sure, they might work for a while. You start to see some results and feel better about yourself, but then you get tired of not being able to eat a piece of bread, or you start to hate the taste of the meal replacement shake you have been drinking every day for a year.
A week, 3 months, 6 months, a year down the road, you're back to the same old body-hating, self-loathing, wanting to be invisible square one.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
After traveling down this painful and ugly road for years, I identified a few simple beliefs holding me back…
…and some key insights that completely changed how I addressed coping with my emotions and hating my body (I'll tell you about those a little bit further down this page).
The point is, I slowly and painfully crawled out of that space and became a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach with actual clients!
Me!!
I still can’t believe it sometimes – because while you see me now as a lean, fit, strong, confident, fat-shredding, beast-making machine…
I still remember those moments where I broke down crying because I hated the way I looked.
But there is one thing that made all the difference for me…moving my body.
This is the truth nobody tells you.
When you exercise, your body releases endocannabinoids — chemicals that are naturally produced in your body and can reduce anxiety and promote calmness.
In fact, our bodies have an entire endocannabinoid system that affects our mood, pain levels (as in helping to lower them), and even our central and peripheral nervous systems.
Emotionally, you will feel calmer, more content, and centered after a good workout.
When you face emotional turmoil, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to work out. Not to lose weight or punish yourself but to promote balance, relaxation and release those emotions in a healthy and helpful way.
Think about how amazing you feel after dancing to your favorite Beyonce’ album for 30 mins…you feel like a flipping GODDESS.
You feel unstoppable, powerful, strong, and like you can TAKE ON THE WORLD! (Cue Beyonce’s “Runs The World (Girls).”)
The problem that seemed like an unscalable mountain before the workout seems like a pebble you can kick across the street after a workout.
What if, instead of using food to cope with emotional chaos, you worked out? How would that not only positively affect your emotional state but also your physical wellbeing?
Now, think about this truth:
Body hate is real, but exercising is one of the BEST things you can do to show your body that you love and support it.
Because, frankly, your body is a miracle!
It deserves your care and respect because it works so hard to support you each and every day.
Working out creates BODY POSITIVITY, which basically means loving your body right now, at this very minute – without any ifs, ands, or buts, regardless of your dress size or the number on the scale.
When you exercise regularly, your body just plain FEELS and FUNCTIONS better from the inside out.
Here are some of the many benefits of exercising:
Doesn’t your amazing body deserve all that!? (ANSWER: Yes, it does!)
But maybe these “NO’s” are holding you back.
These limiting beliefs are keeping you in body hate and causing you to keep putting off your dang workout!
Isn’t it funny how much we are willing to sacrifice to improve our finances, increase our credit score, get a better education, advance our career, get a new car and even buy the latest and greatest tech toy...but we aren’t willing to make sacrifices to improve the relationship with our bodies?
We don’t want to admit it, but our body hate comes from stuff we are doing to ourselves.
“When I loved myself enough, I began leaving whatever wasn’t healthy. This meant people, jobs, my own beliefs and habits–anything that kept me small. My judgement called it disloyal. Now I see it as self-loving.”
—Kim McMillen

PROOF...
"I never dreamt of the possibility that I could be this fit. More than just my appearance but also my mindset that I deserve it. Even after the gastric bypass, my level of success didn't reach this high.
I have exceeded my own expectations, and I have a new attitude! Thank you, Jasmine!"
-Pelver J.
“I don't feel fat anymore. I don't lose my breath tying my shoes, I can move freely and not feel trapped in my body.
I created a tomb for me to live in. I've lost weight before. I've been my goal weight in the past, but I didn't learn to love my body. I calorie counted, carb deprived, had surgery, and literally abused my body.
Jasmine Mays has taught me to fuel and love my body. To give it a chance to thrive."
-Danielle J.
"I feel so much more energetic, healthy, comfortable, and confident.
I Didn’t think at my age, and after 4 children I would be able to lose the weight, but I did!
You are worth the time and effort to make yourself even better."

Last year I finally decided to act on it, and it was the best decision that I made! I’ve tried all the diet fads, and while they worked, they never stuck.
Thank you so much, Jasmine Mays, and your wonderful team. I’m so excited to continue this journey with you!"
-Nicole P.
