WHY I DECIDED TO TRANSFORM
In high school, I ran cross-country, was a sprinter on the track and field team, and was a cheerleader during football season. During that time, I ate lots of chocolate chip waffles swamped in maple syrup for breakfast and indulged in several late-night frozen pizza feasts.
During summer 2011, I got sick of feeling self-conscious about my body and decided to change. With a few quick-fix fad diets, I dropped 20 pounds and maintained that weight by being extremely conscious of my eating habits and incorporating cardiovascular exercise. The more I researched about health and fitness, the more I became eager to transform.
After losing weight, I wanted to build muscle and fell in love with the weight room. Six months ago, I found a trainer who could help me compete in my first NPC bikini contest. My family and friends were very supportive throughout my weight loss and fitness journey. I couldn't be happier with my new lifestyle.

HOW I ACCOMPLISHED MY GOALS
Huge thanks goes to my amazing trainer Guy Delcorso for guiding my nutrition and workouts. It's important to remember where you came from. The lifestyle can be tough, but you can achieve the body you want. There are days in the gym when I look in the mirror and think my arms aren't big enough or my legs should be more defined. When this happens, I step back and realize how I used to look.
I went from fat, to too skinny, to continually gaining muscle. Each body change was scary and challenging. I found many inspiring fitness accounts on Instagram that offered tips and advice, but in the long run I was my own inspiration.
