When I Started:
Oct, 2008
How I Started:
My entire life has been filled with low self-esteem and absolutely no confidence. As a child, I was ridiculed and bullied. As a teen/young adult I was diagnosed with Bipolar and OCD and gained "acceptance" through extreme partying and neglect of my body, mind and soul. Alcohol, drugs and cigs defined who I was. I was wreckless...but...I was "popular"!
All my "charming" qualities followed me into adulthood. I was living what I thought was "the good life"...I did what I wanted, enjoyed doing it and never consider the consequences. I told myself that I was simply "living" life.
One late night, while snorting coke through a suicide note, something clicked inside. I'm not sure what it was...but I took a long hard look at myself, my life, and decided...No more! I was done!
I didn't want to waste another day hiding in the shadows of the mistakes that I made!!!
So I harnessed all my obsessive, compulsive energy and channeled it elsewhere.
I dropped the habits, grabbed the plates and never looked back.
I want to feel confident and proud of myself, how I look and all my accomplishments. I want ripped abs, a huge chest, chiseled back and bulging arms. I want to stay around 200 pounds and maintain 6 to 8% bodyfat. I want to continue a healthy lifestyle. I want to eat clean and train hard. I have no idea how long this will take but I'm going for it.
Why I Love It:
I don't...But I have to if I want to look and feel younger than I actually am!!!
How I Stay Motivated:
Motivation is a HUGE issue for me...In fact, you could say my motivation sucks. I love the changes I have seen in my body thus far and I like how I feel physically, but I continue having a hell of a time making myself lift consistently. Although it should be a stress reliever for me, it seems that knowing I need to workout stresses me further. Additionally, I don't seem to experience the same "Rush" that others speak of from the release of endorphines or whatever shit it is that makes you want more.
BB Accomplishments:
Not BB accomplishements but...Have been eating clean for a solid 6 months. Been able to maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels without medications...Saving over $600 a month by eliminating; soft drinks, cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, fast food and prescription meds.
Forum Signature:
Dropped the habits...grabbed the plates...and never looked back.
Release that which kills you...Embrace that which keeps you alive.

Hi friend. I was just wondering if you were intending to post some new pics in the near future. I have uploaded a few recently and so would be interested to know if you were likely to post some news pics as well.
training's going well. gotta clean up the diet though. hitting abs 2x a week. have added weights. weighted cable crunch is a big one --check out stevep78--he's the one that gave me the tip that they reallyhelp your abs pop. you certainly don't have far to go though brother!
inspirational story and alot like myself hitting the road to recovery with weights is a great outlet. I'm glad that God intervened during the next line of coke and saved your butt
