Bill Phillip's | Transformation

Day 128

I DID IT!  I finished 18 weeks!!!!

Did I lose HUGE amounts of physical weight?  No, just about 13 pounds.

This transformation wasn't about losing physical weight for me...I had many challenges.

- I broke my ankle
- I went through a health scare with my heart
- I went through a health scare with my husband
- I went through a health scare with my son
- I binged
- I didn't workout because of my ankle / mental blocks

What I did lose was immense amounts of MENTAL and EMOTIONAL weight.  I faced personal demons and pushed through pain and fear.  I broke down walls that I had kept up for many years...walls that prevented me from moving forward.

What I GAINED was HUGE...  I gained happiness with my husband and kids...I gained friendships...I gained community...I gained a sense of belonging for the first time in my life and finally...I gained the satisfaction by HONORING my self promise to FINISH NO MATTER WHAT.

I am working on my packet.  My ankle is still broken - probably won't be working out for at least 2 months.  I will get my golden ticket and I'll enjoy every minute of our time together.

I can finally say:  I DID IT.
