š Welcome to Your Transformation Journey - You're Not Alone
Hi, I'm Mary Kathryn Payne (MK), founder of Path to Self-Improvement.
Let me be brutally honest with you: I know what it's like to feel stuck, defeated, and hopeless about your weight and health.
A few years ago, I was injured and couldn't walk. I got depressed, gained weight, and felt TERRIBLE about myself. I was an overweight slug with no energy, zero self-esteem, and constant fatigue. I hated how I looked and how I felt.
Then it got worse: I became diabetic. Type 2 diabetes - caused by being fat and depressed. That was my rock bottom.
But I made a decision: I went to an endocrinologist, made a plan, and went ALL IN.
šŖ The Results?
- Down 80 lbs (goal: 110 total)
-
A1C down to 5.0 - I REVERSED my diabetes
- Energy is back
- Self-esteem is back
- Fatigue is 100x better
And here's the thing - I'm not going back. I make little tweaks as I go, but I will NEVER feel like that overweight, diabetic slug again.
ā ļø If you're pre-diabetic or diabetic, LISTEN: Type 2 diabetes caused by diet can be REVERSED with diet. I'm living proof. My A1C is 5.0. Work with your endocrinologist and follow this plan - you can do this too.
š What's Inside Your Complete Transformation System:
⨠Start Here: Define Your WHY
Write down your goals - not just weight, but EMOTIONAL goals. When you want that candy bar, you'll read this and remember why you started.
𩺠Medical Foundation First
- Full blood panel checklist (thyroid, A1C, cholesterol, fatty liver, Vitamin D)
- Why you MUST see an endocrinologist (not just any doctor!)
- Understanding insulin resistance, thyroid issues, and metabolic barriers
- How to partner with your doctor as a TEAM
š Your Health Tracking Journal

š¬ The Nutrition Science You NEED:
-
LOW & SLOW cooking - Why it preserves nutrients and keeps food tender
-
The White Food Rule - Why white bread, rice, pasta, sugar spike blood sugar and sabotage weight loss
-
Dried herbs = 2x fresh - Complete conversion chart included
-
Meat thermometer PRO TIP - Insert from the SIDE, not top (top gives false high temps!)
-
Internal meat temperature chart - Cook safely and perfectly every time
-
Fruit = sugar - The truth about "healthy" foods
-
Carb timing - If you want a bagel, eat it at breakfast, then no bread at lunch
š§ Hydration & Supplement Truth:
- Drink 8-12 oz water 30 min before dinner (fills you up like soup!)
- Most people are dehydrated - push water, green tea, Crystal Light
- NO SODAS - too much salt, zero nutritional value
- Metamucil benefits: lowers cholesterol + helps fill you up
-
Supplement TRUTH: They don't cure diseases - they SUPPLEMENT healthy eating to fill nutritional gaps
šÆ Vending Machine Defense System:
- Pack healthy snacks so you don't sabotage yourself at 3pm
- Trail mix, nuts, protein bars, carrots, celery, lower-sugar fruits
- Keep 4-pack of 30g protein shakes in work fridge - takes the edge off!
- If you pack it, you eat it. If you don't, you're stuck with junk.
šŖ The 6-Month Transformation Plan:
- Go all in on the diet - no half-assing
- 15 minutes exercise 2x per day (morning + evening - anyone can do this!)
- 6-month doctor follow-up - compare weight and blood work
- PROOF: Numbers don't lie - you'll see the transformation on paper
š§ Mindset: This is NOT a Diet
- Do you really need a "cheat day"? (Spoiler: No!)
- This is a LIFESTYLE, not deprivation
- Don't say "I'm on a diet" - say "I'm taking care of myself"
- When you feel low and want that candy bar - READ YOUR GOALS
š Where Traditional Medicine Meets Holistic Wellness
We believe in marrying traditional medicine (blood work, endocrinologists, proper diagnosis) with holistic wellness (real food, supplements, lifestyle). True health requires BOTH.
