I had bulimia in high school and was trying to find a way to get better when I came across an issue of Oxygen magazine. I had lifted some light weights before, but this magazine really encouraged me to lift heavier and to start eating better. I obtained great results when it came to muscle mass and gradually stopped engaging in bulimic behaviours. I have been fairly consistent for the 5 years since. The longest I've ever been out of the gym was about 2 months.

It makes me feel accomplished, makes my body healthier, and helps me with everyday life by making me stronger. It is also a good stress reliever and a way to meet new friends.
