I have always had a desire to want to change the way my body looked, but my weight was out of control and the lifestyle of eating out late and ignoring nutrition hinder any type of progress.

Now, after being more open about certain struggles and desires with friends, I have been able to get my life under more control and have dropped my weight from 220 lbs in August of 2012 to 165 lbs in June 2013. Letting my friends in on personal struggles and issues got me into bodybuilding. Holding myself more accountable for how I plan on transforming my body will keep me involved in bodybuilding.

You Free Your Mind! At the gym, you have time to think about the past, present, and future. The challenges that life brings and the success of overcoming those challenges. It is all therapeutic and love it!
