I got into working out around the end of January of 2015, I was 177 pounds. I was healthy as doctors say, but was considered obese. I was in cheerleading for 6 years, would lose weight and then pack it on again. I wasn't into fitness what so ever, but something changed in my mind that I didn't want to live they way I was. I had a membership at a local gym and would occasionally go, but as of today I go to the gym everyday or as much as I can. Before my fitness journey, I had big muscles going on around my legs, but as of my upper body that was completely were I struggled in body image. Growing up I had struggled with body weight because I was always teased of being "fat". With that being my insecurity I changed it around and learned to love my body. I still have some days were I feel bad about my image, as in I need to do this more to look they way I want, etc. But lately, it has really changed. I love my body completely, at any time of the day that I have self doubt, I immediately tell myself it is okay to feel this way. You have worked to hard to look they way you want, you can't let yourself down. You were the one that wanted this, so go and do it. DO NOT SET YOURSELF FOR LESS. You can do anything that you set your mind too. It took me a while to get my self confidence but as of today I get admired for being myself and loving myself.
