Throughout my entire life I have always been known as being on the chubby side. What made me change my life was me being cheated on and going through a break up. During my break up I let myself become extremely depressed and emaciated. I lost approx. 30 lbs in less than three months because of my lack of appetite. My health had began to deteriorate. At one point it had gotten so bad that my my urinary tract and digestive system began to shut down and I could no longer urinate. I was on the brink of being hospitalized. It was one night I was lying in bed staring at the ceiling and crying thinking about how I could let this ONE person and all of these crazy thoughts i've cooked up in my head ruin my entire life and the relationships I had with the people around me. This was the point in my life I had hit rock bottom and decided to stop all of the nonsense. The next morning I went into my fridge and cleaned out all of the junk food, rushed over to the supermarket and bought everything I knew that was healthy. From that point to present my health has always been my number one priority.
What helped me change my lifestyle was being consistent. When I felt like giving up and doubts entered my mind, I kept on going. When people would smirk and giggle at me carrying around food with Tupperware in it I turned the other cheek. When people would make comments on me carrying around a gallon of water, I took the high road and didn't care what they thought. Because I never wanted to give up on myself and let down the people who loved, believed in me, and looked up to me. My goal for as long as I live is to help others achieve their Health and fitness goals. Bodybuilding gives me a purpose in life. It brings me happiness being able to push my body to the limits.
