When I quit smoking I needed an alternative way to relieve stress. I turned to yoga and began to lose some weight and see my body change. I always battled with low self esteem so seeing improvement became an addiction. I started going to the gym to incorporate some cardio but I would see girls lifting, and lifting heavy and I wanted my body to look like theirs. I went to bodybuilding.com as a recommendation from a friend to help get me started and I never looked back!

Bodybuilding gives me so much confidence that I am not only happier with myself but I am also more outgoing. I am finally at peace with my body; proud, but never satisfied. Not only did I become so much physically stronger, but also mentally stronger.
