I started wanting to get thinner after having my daughter in 2009. I went on to lose 4 and a half stone at slimming world but after a break up and being moved around several times, this took a back seat and although I was still going to the gym it wasnt religious. A stone crept back on up until christmas 2013 where I got into the gym again and started really pushing myself mentally and physically in the gym and at classes.

I would be working out on the cardio machines watching the weight trainers thinking that I couldn't do it and I didnt want to "beef up".

I love the feeling of working out and the buzz you get after. I do find it hard to motivate myself as I am always so tired and full of injuries.
I do wish I could rewind 4 years and really take care of my body (i,e stretching, foam rolling, rest days).
My poor body.
