I was always overweight in my childhood. I never played any types of sports, didnt have may friends, and I had a strong love for food. If something was bothering me, food always solved it.. The only thing I had in common with fitness was my major obsession for Arnold Schwarzenegger :) I always told my mom that some day I was going to look like him lol. I was heavy all the way up to my senior year of High School. I was the kid that couldnt do a pull up in gym class, failed every physical fitness test, and always picked last. My junior year of High School I weighed 225 pounds. Believe me it wasn't muscle!!! I was always shy,kept to myself. My older brother has been thin, good looking, with a great build without touching a weight in his life. The girls loved him and I was in total envy.. I decided to change my life around January of 2006 when the ex "love of my life" called me a Fat A$# in front of all her friends.. I went to the school bathroom, looked in the mirror and hated my reflection, I hated everything about the way I looked. I made a promise to myself I was going to make a change..
So I did...
First small changes in my eating habits. Little by little the weight started to come off. Then I added exercise and a high protein diet to the mix. The results were extrodinary!! From there on I was hooked, and I never looked back...

Working out makes me feel AWESOME.. There isn't a better feeling in this world than feeling confident and continuing to build confidence in yourself. Especially after knowing what it's like dealing with a high weight gain and a strong love for food.
Being made fun of or talked about because my parents didn't limit the amount of junk I consumed has only made me a stonger person today. I look back and tell myself...Never Again!
