After being the fat kid for my entire youth, I lost all of my fat and muscle by acquiring a dangerous eating disorder. To combat the disorder and begin eating more, I needed to find purpose and incentive to eat. Bodybuilding became that purpose. Now I'm eating clean, lifting heavy, and getting big - just the way I like it.

Working out gives me a chance to progress daily. Every time I leave the gym, I come at a little stronger, a little more confident, and a little better than yesterday. That's something visual and tangible to work for every single day.
