During my body transformation, I have learnt new qualities about myself and superseded my own expectations. A couple of years ago, I was overweight and had a very unhealthy lifestyle, I used to play video games for about 10 hours per day, eat junk food, and rarely leave my bedroom. My body made me sorrowful and unconfident. However, this is all changed when I entered the gym for the first time. I began going to the gym daily. Encouraged by the progress I was making, I was determined to change the way I live. As time passed on, I started to lose interest in video games and better my nutrition. I began filling my free time with interesting and useful hobbies such as programming and studying topics that arouse my intellect such as Evolutionary

One thing that really bothers me is how much I changed. I used to play games all day, not focus on school, wouldn't get in serious trouble, and was very innocent compared to my present day self. There are cons and pros of my past self compared to how I am currently. I am more happy of how I am now then I am before. As time changes, so do I and I can not stop that. What’s done has already been done and can’t be changed so you always have to look towards the future and never the past. The past will not definite who you are today unless you let it. I would have never expect that I would be transferred to a continuation high school in my freshman year. It is a bad thing to many people, but I am thankful that I am sent to it because I will learn
After having a self-reflection of myself I realized that I wanted to be distinctive, I wanted to reconstruct the way I was living. I was tired of just the same repetitive schedule that I followed in high school. I would get up at six twenty in the morning which was the perfectly set time that I determined was necessary to complete my morning routine. I would then head to school which I went through the same repetitive schedule as the previous day. Then I would travel back home consume whatever was prepared by my mother, play some videogames for hours then tend to my my homework and finally head to bed to repeat another average day. It was until one day one of my friend invited me to go to the gym with him. He took me to the gym which was not too far away from my school and lead me to the doorway to bodybuilding. It was just after a couple of
The struggle of not being able to breathe properly, gasping for air while the fever inside was killing me little by little and my fragile self in the age of four did not know what was happening to me I was brain dead, more like clueless little kid almost having a near death experience of having a seizure that in the end it changed my life and the way I looked at it because God gave me another chance to actually prove to him that I can be someone in my life and grateful to be alive today knowing that I have family that actually loves me for who I am.

I became who I am today because of a life changing experience that occurred in late-November of 2013. As I sat waiting for the awards ceremony my palms got sweaty and the butterflies in my stomach multiplied. The announcer seemed to drag on the awards for hours when in reality it was only minutes until first place was awarded. It was then that I realized I was a State Champion.
It was a Wednesday afternoon, I was trapped in the most exciting class Shawnee Mission West had to offer, Human Anatomy. By exciting, I mean I had the opportunity to memorize each of the bones that surrounded the vital thoracic organs in the human body, very cool. My brain felt like it was slowly deteriorating as I was waiting for the clock to strike 2:40. The anticipation was brutal. I struggled to keep my eyes open, and my thoughts focused. The slow ticking sound of the clock interrupted the voice of my teacher’s lecture. Mr. Bair, made his best effort to keep the class involved in his lecture, as he was explaining how the human body was composed of 270 different bones. Although, the distracting sound of the clock, and the anticipation of
Throughout every person’s life, there will always be moments in time where change will take place. This could range from a variety of events such as changing schools, jobs, or even one’s own home. However, there are some habits that help one stay healthy if they remain consistent. This can consist of altering one’s diet to a healthier one or even enhancing the number hours of sleep one gets per night. A health change behavior goal that I have taken the time to evaluate and accept is necessary will be composed of a ten day exercise program in order to completely change my physical fitness habits. Selecting this health change behavior was the best choice due to the fact that after starting my educational career here at UCI, I had abandoned the active lifestyle that I once had before college. For the past two
To begin, the only two body modifications that I have done is pierce my ears and I dyed my hair numerous times. The body modification I will focus specifically on is piercing my ears. I got my ears pierced when I was about two months old. My family has always done this with the girls in our family; they pierce their ears about one or two days after they are born. The reason my family does this is because they believe it will cause extreme pain if they were pierced at a later age because the tissue would not be as soft. Additionally, they believe that having the earrings in at an early age will cause the holes too never close up, since the earrings were inserted at an age where the baby cannot take them off. The reason I had to wait until I was about two months old was because I had to spend about the first month of my life in the hospital due to complications
Metamorphosis: A transformation that relates to real life health issues. In the story, The Metamorphosis, Gregors transformation into a vermin can be connected to overall health in today’s society because Gregors “disorder” altered his “complete state of physical, mental, and social well-being” (Kaiser Permanente). Based on the definition of health, Gregor’s state and the experiences he went through in the story, would be more similar to someone who was in overall, poor health.
Many types of surgeries that I have seen is fascinating in my opinion, yet, it’s a frightening experience to go through. When I was still in my sophomore year in high school, I had a major experience that has changed my life. It was that time of the year where I had to go in for my jaw surgery. Due to the fact I had a huge under bite that wasn’t fixable from the braces I was wearing; Optional choice I had was going in for surgery to get it fixed. The day I went in for surgery, I was nervous yet, excited for the outcome. During the procedure, I was sleeping as good as from the time I was a baby; never have I felt relaxed at that moment during that phase. After the whole procedure was over, I woke up feeling odd; face was swelled up, my teeth
Just imagine getting the body you always wanted. Imagine the feeling of pure joy as you easily slip into your favorite jeans again. What about the big smile you get when your friends and family start commenting about the dramatic positive changes in your body and asking what you 've been up
Four months ago in May, I began my fitness journey. Now let me be completely honest, I wasn’t a first timer at all, and I was not where near a professional. I was that person that seriously began one every new year and never ever kept to it. My thoughts were that by summer I would be fit and toned, but we all know that when summer rolled around that was not the feeling. My weight was a constant yo-yo, it ranged something like this 125, 120, 118, 122, 119, or 124. It was never the same for long. Then the worst happened in January of 2015, my ACL decided to give along with my meniscus. I then had surgery by February and no walking until April. THREE months in bed!! During February, March, and April I was at the worst time in my life, just ready
When I first began to exercise, I was primarily trying to add size on to my body. At the time I only weighed about one hundred sixty pounds and I was six foot one inch. I was also eight teen and feeling that my lack of participating in school sporting events, as well as my abuse of alcohol and less than ideal food choices, had stunted my physical potential. With this new found feeling of inadequacy I set off on a journey that would change my life forever. The first thing I noticed when I began searching for ways to change my body, was that I was obviously going to have to buy weights if I wanted to look like the guys in the gym. So I set out and purchased the cheapest bench and set of weights I could find. I began to mimic exercises that I had seen people do on television or while walking past the gym. In a period of about a month I had already noticed a huge difference in the amount of weight that I could lift. Within the first year of unorganized lifting, as well as no change to my eating habits, I h...
