I've been working out for many many years; however, I got into bodybuilding after meeting a bodybuilder who encouraged me to build and build big. I was reluctant at first, but when I saw what I could do "naturally", I was hooked. Bodybuilding is great for my ego and self esteem, which were both lacking before I started.

I love bodybuilding because it seems to be the only thing that I have total control over. I like to feel as if I can tweak things in my life, and sometimes, I find that it can't be done; but with training, I have total control over how I want to look and feel and that's awesome. I love feeling strong, sexy and confident, and up until now, I have rarely felt any of those things. There was a time I would never have attempted to bulk up and add size and muscle to my body, always concerned about what someone else might have to say about it; but now, I don't care what they say. Bodybuilding is like a drug, it's in the blood, you crave it and when the results come, you can't stop. When I look in the mirror at my work and the body of the average woman...there is no comparison because I am not the majority with putting on mass, and I absolutely love that, LOL.
