I decided to start working out because when I got a job, I no longer had time for my then favorite hobby, video games. I also realized that the reason I was so skinny my whole life was because I was addicted to video games. The gym is on the way to my job and school so I can fit it in my schedule perfectly.

I love working out because it helps relieve stress from school/work and also because I started to see my weight slowly start climbing. After working out everyday for one month I saw that I gained 5 pounds and weighed in at 126. I was ecstatic because I had never been more than 121 my whole life and I thought I could never gain weight. Then I got addicted to the soreness. I saw other guys at the gym who were huge and muscular and I set a goal for myself never to be the scrawny guy again. I saw how big everyone else was and I wanted to be bigger than them.
