When i was in high school I was in a lot of pageants and always felt pressured to look a certain way. I made alot of very unhealthy choices to try to fit the mold and ended up damaging my metabolism. At the end of high school I injured my hamstring and ended my track career. This devastated me and I turned to food as a way to cope. I gain a ton of weight and was so unhappy with myself.
About two years ago I decided it was time to get back on track and try to make myself proud. I tried to do it on my own but had no idea what I was doing and ended up growing even more unhappy. In January 2014 I contacted a girl who had competed in NPC shows and asked her for her help. I started training in March and became addicted. In less than a year and in 3 shows i have two Overall titles and won my pro card with an Overall win at Jr Nationals 2015. I am now an IFBB Bikini pro and coach myself.
Bodybuilding has taught me to love myself again. The feeling of accomplishment is amazing... knowing that I put my mind to it and made it happen... no one else did it.
Its not about trophies and crowns (those are very nice :) ) Its about putting good into your body and getting good out. Its about pushing my body and accomplishing things I never knew where possible for me.
I've never felt better in my life. I love getting stronger everyday. I hold my future in my hand. Its taught me the sky is the limit... Scratch that... There is NO limit.
If someone tries to tell me i can't... I'll show them I CAN
