Why I Decided To Transform
I was the chubby kid in high school. I played football and everything, but I never felt like I was working as hard as I could be. After my senior year of football, I realized I had nothing left but school. That's when I decided to completely change my body and strive to become a bodybuilder.
The choices affected my life greatly. I cut out a lot of people so I could accomplish what I wanted. There weren't many people who stood by my choices except for one of my best friends, Khooshali. She understood what I was doing was for the best, and she always stuck around.
My life has completely changed after transforming. The people who doubted me cannot believe what I've accomplished.
How I Accomplished My Goals
I cut a lot of friends out of my life. I gave up my social life. That was the only way to reach my goals. I'm in college now and can honestly say I don't go to parties. They aren't worth it, in my opinion. There were days that I wanted to throw out the chicken I cooked and eat a whole box of cookies and donuts, but I realized it would never lead to my goal.
My inspiration came from within. I was my own inspiration, and I feel like that's the only way to transform. If you don't believe you can do it, you will fail. Believe in yourself and it will take you a long way.
I had a trainer for a while, Tuan Tran, a professional natural bodybuilder. He helped me get to where I am today and opened my eyes to different training aspects and nutrition.
What Aspect Challenged Me The Most
The diet is what challenged me the most. Living with my brothers makes it hard because they're always tempting me with junk food that I want to eat. I've developed self-control to reach the goals I want.
My Future Fitness Plans
I plan to compete in my first bodybuilding show very soon. I feel like bodybuilding is a great way to showcase all of the hard work I put into my body.
Suggestions For Aspiring Transformers
My suggestion for aspiring transformers would be to never give up. There are many sacrifices made to accomplish your goals, but it's completely worth it. You will sweat, be in pain, and crave pizza and ice cream, but never give up. It takes time to reach your goals, but when you get there, all the things you gave up will be worth it.
