My Story

Both of these pictures were taken in the first semester of my 8th grade year (between August and December).

These pictures were taken between the August and March of my freshman year of high school.

Now I know what you are asking yourself. Is that really the same person? And yes, I promise you that it is. On the top pictures I weighed near 240 pounds just as a 14 year old. I ate a ridiculous amount of food and according to my doctors, I was at risk of many heart diseases and conditions later in life. I was not happy with just my appearance, but also how I felt. I had friends, I had a great family, I had baseball, I was constantly stuffing my face with food, I had it all and believed that there was no reason for me not to be happy all the time. One day during Winter Break of my 8th grade year, I looked in the mirror and after a lot of searching I finally found the one thing I was missing. I was missing confidence. I did not have the ability to look myself in the mirror every morning and say "I am proud that this is me." Truth is, I was not proud. I did not think there was anything honorable about eating endlessly and not doing anything about it, even though I knew it was not good for me. I knew nobody could change this except for me. I knew deep down inside that I could get what I wanted and it was only up to me. It would be my choice to continue along this not so good path I was on, or take the first step in climbing the mountain. I knew that struggles lied ahead, but did not care because I felt my wanting was much greater than any obstacle that could possibly come in my way. Do not be fooled though, I was not always motivated. There were many times when I wanted to pick up a donut and quit. There were many times that I wondered if I ever would even get to be happy with myself. During those times I believed my character was shaped. I realized then that in life there is no obstacle to challenging or even mountain to high that I could not climb. I could do anything that I told myself I could do. Just like I told myself in the mirror that one special day where my crazy self set goals way to high, "I can do it." To this day there is nothing that I think I can't do. My life has been so greatly impacted by fitness and living a healthy lifestyle. During this time I also found what I believe to be my passion. My passion is to influence people to achieve their goals. Watch the video below to hear my full story!
