I have always been sort of active, but always on the thin side. Now that I am in my 30s, I know how important it is to remain active or increase in my physical health in order to prevent the standard American diseases when we age. Thus, I decided bodybuilding will aide in increasing a better livelihood, but also make me look great!

Where I am today is different than I was yesterday. Bodybuilding has changed me. My past has been full of pain and worry. At one time I feared everyone that got close would eventually reject me, so I did not even accept myself. The stronger I became physically I now have given myself the right to have a voice without everyone else's approval. There are two things that I depend on for my well-being is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and bodybuilding.

Everyday I grow physically, mentallly, spiritually, and emotionally because of the closeness I have with my own skin. What life has taught me is that no one will give me permission to live but my own self. At the gym, that extra squat or pull-up proves that I am better than yesterday, and what other's have not ever given me credit it for. Credit is owed and no longer will I have accepted it from another but the one who has created me and myself. And the one thing I have to say to all of those who did not believe in me: I choose to forgive you. You no longer have power in my life. I will alway be better than you thought! I prove it everyday. Tomorrow I will be even greater. Who I am today is either by your failure to stand by myside or overbearing deceit, and the grace of God. All had made me strong and as whole as one can be. I control how I feel now and relieve you of that duty. Anyways, one day you will be engulfed in the conviction of the pain you have caused in my life, as I will for those who I have hurt.

Bodybuilding = nature's cure for depression & insecurity!
