When I was a lot younger I had really bad eating habits and it came to the point where I was pretty much obese. Heading into high school I didn't like the way I was, but I didn't have a club as to what to do about it. Finally I started getting into powerlifting and working out since I played football my whole life. Eventually I was able to compete in state powerlifting meets and It all proved to be a success.
Why I Love It:
It relieves stress so much. Like I said when I was younger, I used to be obese. I was really overweight and made fun of quite a bit for it. Working out helped me to relieve the stress I had, but It gave and still gives me more and more energy. Overall It makes you feel good about yourself and I know that it keeps me healthy.
How I Stay Motivated:
One of the things that was difficult for me in life was never being good enough. I was always too overweight or too lazy or not fast enough, not strong enough.. etc. It came to the point where I just hated it. I didn't want to put up with it anymore. I started to read book after book and I loved it. I loved having all of this extra knowledge and knowing what to do and how to eat. It made me who I am today and I know that the last thing I want to do is go back to the way I used to be. Not to mention the compliments I receive from people at the gym as well as at the beach or anywhere. It makes me know that my effort is worth while and It has always meant a lot to me and that is why I stay motivated
