I really never thought of my body as attractive. I always thought I was sort of awkwardsly proportioned, never considered fitness. My entire life I have had the mentality that I could never be athletic, apparently the gene missed me in my family. I have always been terrified to try anything athletic but earlier this year, in March i picked up weights for the first time in my life and I was much stronger than I expected myself to be. Ive steadily increased my strength since then and it feels like I've finally found something I'm somewhat good at. I hired a trainer and he helped me get in the best shape of my life and i entered my first fitness competition in May and place 2nd! It was a great accomplishment for me considering all the skills I had to learn from scratch. Now I consider myself very athletic and capable and am not afraid to try new things! Weightlifting has become one of my favorite past times and I love being strong and fit!
Why I Love It:
It's such a great stress reliever. Plus, it's the only thing in my life where I can control the pain in a positive way & create visible results.
Now I am working out almost everyday & feeling healthier & better about myself!
How I Stay Motivated:
I look @ other fitness models & visualize what I would like to look like. Also, When I am alone & at home I try to wear as little clothes as poissible so everytime I look in the mirror I can see how I look & that keeps me motivated to get how I want to look. I want to be able to walk around the house in a bra & a thong & not cringe when I look in the mirror! I really try to surround myself with fitness oriented people and environments to make sure I don't get sucked into an unhealthy environment. Also helping others helps keep me motivated!!
