Well, it started in one simple instant when I decided I couldn't take a shower with the lights on because I couldn't stand seeing what I looked like. Horrible, right, but right then I decided NO MORE. So, at 232# and 40% body fat I started eating clean and working out. I never want to feel that way again. Now, I am not where I want to be, but I am getting closer to my goals.

I never knew how much I would enjoy bodybuilding as much as I do. I had never tried it before because I had too many people telling me false ideas about bodybuilding. But, upon looking at magazines, I decided I didn't want to be skinn, I wanted to be fit. I want muscle and definition. It is such a stress reliever as well. If I've had a terrible day at work, I can go to the gym and feel so much better when I am done. It is now to the point where when I miss a day for some reason or another, I feel terrible. I LOVE IT!
