READ MY BLOGS FOR MY STORY
I spent alot of my life WANTING to be the popular guy at school. Wanting all the girls. Wanting to have "the body" of the school. But i never could commit myself to what goes with it all.
Well alot has changed since grade school. I dont care about being popular, being the cool guy, being known. But one thing that hasn't changed is wanting the body people can look at and say, "i want that".
After the death of my father, i was very depressed. And diagnosed with Major Depressive disorder (depression). My life took a turning point, just not in the right direction.
I lost faith in everything, rejected god, and didnt leave the house. It was a hard time for me, my family, my friends.
Until my best friend brought me to life again by starting working out. I wouldnt call it bodybuilding, but it led me to bodybuilding.
Bodybuilding has saved my life. With bodybuilding and god my life has everything i need to prosper growth and strength.
Why I Love It:
Bodybuilding has helped me in many ways. I battle depression, anxiety, and social phobias every day, and bodybuilding has helped. It has helped me have more confidence for relationships, and it has helped be become a better christian.
Without bodybuilding i dont know what i would do
How I Stay Motivated:
I have to be motivated so that i can motivate others.
