2008 Transformation Contest

Although I have lost progress in recent months, considering where I have been in the past, I am still quite proud of what I have accomplished so far…  

…Transforming my body from a morbidly obese, near death, state of shock body, to a reasonably fit and curvy woman.

And although experiencing obesity was no walk in the park, I wouldn’t take it back for the world.  I learned many things through the experience.  

Compassion, depth of spirit, humility.

The one thing I would take back however, are the remnants that my past still holds on my body.  

Loose skin.  

I intend to go into the subject further as this transformation progresses.  Let’s just say for now, that no matter how hard you work, no matter how clean your diet, there are certain things beyond your immediate control when you have once been over 100 pounds overweight.

Quite honestly, as my body changes and grows leaner during this transformation, I do not know if the end results will warrant the changes, because of this issue.  

What I do know, is that this transformation is about more to me than my body.  

This transformation is about my will, my inner strength, my spirit.

This transformation to me, is about developing the mindset of a champion, and giving other extremely overweight individuals the permission and avenue to do the same.
