I got started when I was beginning to hear rude comments about my body. You know,the unnecessary middle school drama. But it really started to mess with me and stress me out. I was out bathing suit shopping and took a long look at myself in the mirror and decided I need a healthy lifestyle change. I started from scratch and 0% knowledge with YouTube exercise video & started very slowly to eat clean. The farther i got,the more I wanted to educate myself on fitness and nutrition. I was seeing good changes in my body but got way too much into it. I didn't care about anything else except my body image..I got too skinny. I was so caught up in it and just kept getting skinnier and skinnier,but it wasn't the healthy & it wasn't the healthy way. My 8th grade year is when i got too skinny. Some people were mean,while others complemented me..I didn't know what to do or believe. There were the students who wanted to help me but I warded them off. As 8th grade year was ending, i really knew I had to change for the better because my grades & focus were dug into the ground. I also wanted to make my parents proud by pulling myself through all on my own. I started educating myself even more on bodybuilding&nutrition. I just kept taking bigger steps each day. Beginning of freshman year I took strength/conditioning class and that really helped me on knowledge on weightlifting and good form. I am now afraid to skip any of my meals and I love lifting heavy! I also have gained so much focus in school now that I'm healthy. Made honor roll both semesters freshman year. I learned that in order to gain any muscle you need to EAT! Also, muscle looks so much better than just skinny with jutting hip bones.

My passion for fitness/bodybuilding keeps growing and growing. I love bodybuilding because it helps me have a better body image. Bodybuilding is my life..along with friends&family. Although I'm 15,I make bodybuilding my job,I love seeing what I'm made of and how far I can push myself. I feel like superwoman!
