Losing weight is one thing. But going from overweight to competing in a figure competition is another thing altogether. It requires more grit, sweat, and focus then most of us could handle.
I came across Katieβs journey recently and could really relate to her story in many ways. For years I was an emotional eater and drinker. I used food as a way to cope with stress and the weight started packing on.
Below Katie shares how she overcame her adversity and achieved incredible transformation.
In 2011, I walked away from a long-term relationship that was mentally and physically abusive. I moved back in with my parents and focused to improve myself, but fell into unhealthy habits like drinking and eating to cope with my emotions.
After making poor decisions, and learning from my mistakes, I surrounded myself with positive people and started working out.
I later met my boyfriend, Troy Guillory, who was training for his second bodybuilding competition. I realized it was time to change after going to Troyβs show and since I was so inspired, I decided to compete myself.
Troy coached people online and he also started me on a program.
Below is an example of my diet from when I was about half way through my transformation.
my family finally understands why i do this after seeing my results
don”t give up when the scale stops moving just keep grinding
i finally hit my goal weight and the feeling is indescribable
