Looking back on it the gym was the most scariest thing, downstairs you had the weights area which you had to walk past when going into the changing rooms, I dont think I could have walked fast enough hahahah!! was so intimidating, so I understand how girls feel when they say "oh i cant go train in the weights there men!" and now thats where I live LOL!! from me loosing weight which is pic with corn rows (plaits) I started to feel very insecure about my body as I was once very large chested LOL and now completly dissappeared, after around a year or 2 I decided to have correction surgery to fix this reaaly boosted my confidence and gave me back what I had lost from wanting to become fitter and healthier. At the time I used to work in an office and they sure noticed when I started changing my way of eating!! At this time I didnt really no alot about what foods helped with muscle grow etc, and I started like every women does the "NO CARBS" diet, but the more and more I researched I found that you need carbs and they arent your enemies! Once I started a higher carb intake I had so much more energy!!

I think the first weight training I ever started was a mixure of strength trianing and weight stripping..but at this time I was spending way to long in the gym and not giving my body the nutrition it needs to grow!! Oh and plus I was drinking way to much and at weekends went all out the window..hey this is what happens when you young haha!!

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: Barbies progress Last few years Last year I started to really bulk up eeek not intentionally I just stopped doing cardio and started lifting very heavy as for a girl I found I am very strong and can gain muscle fairly easily..I was eating all very clean good foods but way to much of everything and still having 6 meals a day..I have pictures of this but its hard to see in photos what I looked like as to the eye I wasnt bulky but be assured my arms were big LOL around 14 1/2 inches which it quite large for a small girl LOL! I always had people asking if I competed, which at the time never crossed my mind...then the more and more people asked me the more I thought about it.. I think it was around Febthis year that I thought right thats it I'm gonna do it! The biggest thing for me was cutting down on drinking as I do like a drink like many of us do..and yep it was so hard haha!! people crave chocolate when on the comp diet well I craved a drink!! I felt like an alcoholic haha!! but after few weeks that went away.
