I reached my highest weight of 167lbs in Fall of 2009 and seeing pictures of myself was a real wake-up call. That year in general was an entire 'binge' and finally it was the breakdown I needed before changing for good. Since Fall of 09 it has been my mission to get to 125lbs. I hope to hit that weight in May or sooner. Once I hit 125 I will continue to workout and possibly aim for 120.

Going to the gym has filled a void in me ever since I quit dance Junior year in HS. The gym feels like home, and working out calms me and clears my head.
