I have never been a big person, never felt I had any weight issues. My now fiance was overweight when I met him 9 years ago. He started working out and once I changed jobs we started going to the gym together, it was our lunch date. I enjoyed working out with him and spending more time with him but soon realized I wasn't doing it for me. I once again changed jobs and did some workouts on my own but still just wasnt my thing. I started to feel tired all the time, was eating terribly and never gained a lot of weight but just didn't feel like I did before. Got back into the gym started having more energy and then my trainer convinced me to do my first bikini competition in 2014. It was an incredible experience and having that end goal really pushed me, now I love working out, I love the way I look the way I feel and I am still competing.
