I decided right there and then she was my shero! She was my
mentor! I was no longer satisfied with the status quo! If she could
do it I CAN DO IT! I can be a hot mom too!!! I don't have to be
skinny, I don't have to be young. I have to be STRONG, strong in
spirit, strong in willpower, strong in mind, body and soul.
I followed JNL relentlessly, never meeting her only through

My husband went on and on about all I do is pull out magazines,
web pics, vids, over and over saying look.… I can be a hot mom
too! I can do this!!! Jennifer just hugged me and cried with me. This
went on for about 3 minutes without saying a word just crying and
hugging. A true significant bond had formed. Our Universe had just
