Thank you for adding me to your friends list! I am so glad you are here and have commited to this transformation. I had "un-officially" done BFL for 12 weeks in the past as well and had amazing results. This transformation has helped me understand why I did not stick with it for LIFE and why all attempts towards becoming a healthy "me" had failed. I am grateful to have found Bill Phillips once again and that I made the commitment to "Be the Change" you will be amazed with this experience as you transform into a more healthy You:) I am just a click away anytime:)

I am inspired by your admitting to being a "financial moron"...at least that's what I called it when I was still one. 20+ years in the financial services industry and I was a mess. Knowledge is power. Look at every bank and credit card statement that comes to your household. Know about your retirement accounts. That should keep you busy for about 60 days. Once you KNOW what happens every month, you'll have more power to make changes. You can DO IT!

It is such scary territory for me! I did talk to my husband about my feelings and we are now going to start doing it together. It isn't that I don't trust him to do it...I just feel that I should really be more involved in knowing where my paycheck is going each month....besides to ebay!!!

Hello there yourself! If you are like me, you are knee-deep in back-to-school now! We have a new principal this year, so there is added pressure and I am needing all the support I can get!!

I Am

I am a mom first, teacher second. I have a good life filled with many wonderful friends and a caring family. I have done the BFL program in 2005 with amazing results. I didn't follow through with the entire 12 weeks but since then have been reflecting on what really works best for me. After following other programs, I am now ready to fully commit to this transformation process and emerge a much healthier me!

My Favorite Charity

Little River Zoo

To me, Transformation Means

Lately I have felt off balance. Strangely out of my environment. It is an odd feeling, but I think it has pointed me to this place. I have known for some time that I cannot be the whole person that I was meant to be without tackling the very issues of health that this program focuses on. I have so much to offer, so much to give, and now I need to do the work that will enable me to fulfill the promises that I have made to myself. I have to deal fully with the negative thoughts, images, and feelings that have landed me here. I have to commit to this now or face a future of failed expectations. This time is for real.

My Goals

Not only do I want to look better...I also want to be the whole person that I know is underneath. I can feel her peeking out and wondering why I am hiding under this bushel. Sometimes the feelings are so intense tears well up. I get scared of failing, then scared I'm gonna succeed! I need this inner work SO badly! I'm glad that it is happening right now!

My Intentions

To share this gift of who I am with the world. I can only do that if I am 100% on board with who that is. As of now, I'm not even close...well, I am closer than I was 2 weeks ago, but until I can shed all of the negative (not just weight although I believe that there is a serious connection between it all) I cannot do that. And that, to me, is the only real sin. Not living up to one's potential.
