I was sick of being 25% body fat. I was a Division 1 athlete and I always had great genetics. I got lazy and packed on 40lb of fat. It was hard to get it off but it was quick. I am now motivated to be fit for life.

Its my hobby. This is one thing in my life that I have absolutely 100% control over. It allows me to be disciplined and have structure in the rest of my life as well. I feel the working out/fitness/bodybuilding is a great way to build character.
