I battled an eating disorder in University trying to be like what I was reading in the fitness magazines. Here I was, in University learning how to recognize the signs & symptoms of an eating disorder in the athletes I was treating as an Athletic Therapist, while I was battling the same thing. All that did was teach me how to hide it better. I love Shape magazine for it's use of Reader Models, and the Dove campaign to love your body. Those are great examples of how the media could help impressionable readers.

What kind of idol is someone who is fake? Takes a lot of dedication, if not a whole lifestyle change to be truly fit and healthy, it is a 24/7 job that is totally worth the investment, heck it your life... your body... your health. Wake up people, those clowns on TV don't know nor care. Whew.... off stepping off my soap box.

It's insane what some people do! I won’t say any names but I know of a couple high profile fitness brothers, one of whom had liposuction before a shoot. It’s insane what some people do!

The only photoshopping on my pics is for my eye bags and removing certain "below the waist" bulges from wearing spandex that no one wants to see. By the way, I thought Jason Statham looked awesomely ripped in Death Race, then I saw this: http://thesuperficial.com/2009/03/bfm_enlarged/enlarged-jason_statham_uses_martial_art.php?bfm_index=2&bfm_page=0 He doesn't look bad, but he sure isn't as ripped as he was in that movie. I've heard Tom Cruise really struggles to drop weight for movies too. I wonder if Brad Pitt is always ripped?

It's one of those things that you assume, but don't really believe until someone with credibility says it. And until then, you continuously set goals that are unrealistic. I have been trying to use a picture of myself, when I felt that I was at my peak. Not a 21yr old, prebaby pic.. just a picture that I had taken during the time of full fitness and health concentration.. I remembered how great I felt.. that's the biggest motivation!
