I became a teen mom at age 16 since then I have battle with deep depression. I would binge eat whenever I felt over stressed & depressed. It has been a struggle I would do fad diets & lose weight quickly then I would stop thinking I was skinny enough then before I knew it I would gain weight again & just give up & say I am already fat anyways & binge eat.
My dad & close friends would tell me I was getting big, I honestly felt okay I started taking pictures, then I noticed that I kept having to buy bigger & bigger size close, pants did not fit & even activities like walking or even when I tried to play at the park with my daughter I would run out of breath quickly, then I knew that was enough & needed to make a chance.
I got to my heaviest at 168 lbs in March 2015 then I started training I lost 30 lbs by june/july then I would look back at my pics from March then felt disgusted how I looked I started over training then suffered small fractures on my feet then had to stop working out for some weeks to avoid injuring myself worse then end up with a broken foot. I gained weight again!!!! Then I seen the #250kchallenge from Bodybuilding then that gave me motivation to start my training again, now I have finished #250kchallenge & #stillinitchallenge & I am getting ready for the next challenge #nextlevel. I am happy how my body looks now, but I am not done with my transformation I will keep going, keep pushing, my long term goal & dream is to be a fitness model & inspire others to live a healthy/better life. :))

Thanks Bodybuilding :))

It all about finding ways to cope with every day struggles, depression & stress in a good way. Before I started Bodybuilding/working out I would just binge eat, drink or have a nasty attitude & be a straight up bitch lol.
I am still struggling, it is hard being a single parent but now I have learned a new way to relieve that stress & help my depression. It is through Fitness & working out, whenever I feel sad, depressed, stressed, angry frustrated I workout out I go to the gym & take it out on the weights & completely exhausting is my stress reliever, when I am at the gym I forget about all the things I have going on for a moment. I have set a goal for myself & will not stop until I achieve my dream, whenever I feel tired or like quitting I just think that I have made it this far I can't stop now & I have my daughter who has always believed in my & in her eyes mommy is strong & invincible, little does she know mommy feels weak all the time but I have to be strong for her, I am her example & role model. I will work my ass off to not disappoint her & give her the life she deserves. <3
