Ever since i was in middle i was afraid of gaining weight. it has always been a huge fear of mine. i remember being in middle school and coming home after school to run on the treadmill. When i was in high school i developed eating disorders and went up and down on my weight for about 6 years. when i discovered weight lifting it changed my life forever. I've never felt so free and in control of my body, it is truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. :)

it keeps me sane, its stress relieving and gives me overall confidence. i love pushing myself to do things that i didn't know i could do. Its about mental strength more than physical.
