I have always been active and skinny girl but when I was in my early 20's I found excuses in "working too much" not to be active any more and so packed few extra pounds (45 lol). I started going to the gym regularly in 2009 without even knowing what to do there. I wanted a change that was for sure. It took me a long two years of experimenting and reading to finally go to the gym and be confident of what I do there. And I found all I needed in weights training.
This is how I started and I have to say that it doesn't happens overnight, it takes years and years of educating, trials and errors and yet we will always have something new to learn every day.

It makes me feel exhausted but the same time recharged and that feeling is great. Bodybuilding is addictive. Love the strength and the curves! Love to see my body changing the way I want. To describe it best will use the words of Henry Rollins:
"The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found. There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, it's impossible to turn back.
The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds."
