Well, where do I start...Growing up I was bullied my entire life, for being in special classes due to having spinal meningitis at the age of 2, and being called fat that at the age of 12 I developed an eating disorder that would consume my life for the next 10 years. I went in between being anorexic and bulimic throwing up everything that I ate to not eating for 3 days. So at the age of 22 I was so lost that I started eating my feelings away, consuming any where from 8,000-15,000 calories a day. Crazy right? I was addicted to food. I was 210 pounds and 45% body fat, slowly digging my grave with my own knife and fork. My dad came to me and encouraged me to change my life style, by implementing the AA 12 step program, to admit that I am powerless over food, and my life has become unmanageable. He got me a gym membership and told me that If I lost weight he would buy me new car. So I used that to motivate me. I immediately fell in love with working out, I loved getting "the pump" feeling. It took me about a year to loose the weight but I did it!! I went from 210 pounds to 124 pounds. Not only did I get healthy physically but emotionally as well. I want to share that story with anyone that was or is where I was. I was in the dark for so long and I pushed through that darkness till I saw the light. I demanded it. I loved the process, that's where we grown the most. Because you have to go through the process to get the prize, the wood has to burn for there to be fire.

I love working out because it makes me feel untouchable. When I am at the gym I feel like I can do anything in the world, it empowers me. Even when I am eating my chicken, brown rice and veggies, I think to myself, "this is awesome,, I'm so cool eating chicken, brown rice and veggies" I fell in love with bodybuilding when I saw a picture of Jamie Eason. I said to myself, " I want to look like that." So I took it to the next level with my training and my mindset, and I'm not looking back., cause I'm not going that way. :)
