To answer Nathan's question - my brother was the comic book junkie - not me. And I have to say I was mortified how women were depicted - hyuge boobs and muscles. It looked wierd to me. Even the men didn't "look right".
Even when I joined a gym at 17 I NEVER thought that I could look like Rachel McClish. I thought that bodies like that were built from the time someone was little. I was a fat kid that grew into a fat teen. I just thought that could NEVER be me.
I guess I am just freaking stubborn is all. I LOVED the way weights felt when I picked them up. I LOVED to feel strong and I loved it even more when they MADE ME strong. With me it was always about strength, I suppose since I had been bullied and abused my whole life.
And honestly, once I got to the point where I actually intimidated some men (I have to laugh at that) it made me feel superior... that little me could actually scare a man. Well getting beaten down by my ex husband fixed that delusion right quick.
Now I just want to maintain the lines of my figure/within reason and maintain my health as best as I can for as long as I can.
Remember.... you asked. LOL
And Nathan - if you have talent (which you obviously do) then you should share it with the world. Not about money, but affecting the world in which we live in a way that only YOU can.
