I've had many ask me, "Why are you doing this comp?"... "You're almost 53 years old?" I'm doing this for me !! And several reasons that underly... I'm doing this because there's a big part of my past that i feel i want to be better, do better. I made bad choices in the past , and I often struggle to understand why I was so weak. It took a long time to let go, accept my choices, and decide to live for now Being someone I wasn't, even struggling to know who I was .... A wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, but who am I? My choices today and the person I'm becoming is far from the person I was. I'm strong, independent, and determined to live a life I love, healthily and happy. I hold my hand out to anyone who wants to feel themselves again, starting with health and fitness I want to show other women that no matter where you have been, and whatever you've been through, you can find yourself again through healing and self-worth #ibfa #over50 #womenempowerment #womensbodybuilding #selfworth
