Ever since I could remember, I always had an issue with my body. I wasn't the cute little kid that all of my friends were. In fact I was the opposite. Short, pudgy, and stocky for most of my childhood. Fast forward to sophmore year of high school, I eventually developed and eating disorder (anorexia) that took a few years to recover from, and even then, I would occasionally have a relapse into some old nasty habits. 

It wasnt until I was 24 and waking up from sugery that I finally decided to take control of my life and body, but in the right way. After my 2 weeks of recovery, I started my own fitness journey and I've stuck with it ever since. Through this time as well, I went through a lot of personal trauma and loss, but I think one of the things that helped me get through that was the determination and discipline that fitness had taught me.

I wouldnt be where I am today had it not been for a pair of dumbells and an idea.

I went from being 165lbs at 5ft to 115lbs in just under a year through nothing but lifting weights, keeping an eye on my protein intake, and walking. 

Now, I look to inspire others to do the same. No matter where you are in life, body type, etc, it is my belief that fitness is for everyone. 

So let's get started.
