When I Started:
Jan, 1998
How I Started:
I originally fell in love with working out when I was 12yrs, I used to take my allowence and buy "Muscle&Fitness Mag", I would hang pictures of Corey Everson, Lee Haney and Sharon Bruneau on my wall, I wanted to look like a superhero just like them, I saw women who were overweight and I didn't want to look like that, I didn't find that attractive at all, so you could say I had a fat phobia, and the women in my family were all overweight including my mother, I was terrified of inheriting those genes, as a young girl I was embarssed that my mother was obese, I hated going anywhere with her, it upset me that she didn't nor wanted to take care of herself, I was determined not to become her reflection, and I didn't want my children to feel that way about me, I realized that this was mean of me as I got older, but it was how I felt, It takes alot of discipline to workout and diet consistantly, not everyone is cut out to do so, but with the right movtivation anything is possible!!!
Why I Love It:
I love training, it gives me energy and keeps me young!!!
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated through my daughters, i want to keep up with them plus its cheaper if i can hand my clothes down to my eldest ...lol
BB Accomplishments:
I have yet to compete, yet I'm ready to take that journey...... I'm open to advice of any form, it could only help better me!!! :)

Thanks for accepting the request! Great pics and progress! Your story was very interesting and I think most people that work out as we do had a fear of becoming fat... I'm glad to hear things have worked out for you and your dedication to the art has really shown in your pics/results. Keep up the hard work and hope you had a nice weekend!
