Can you ever recall a time you’ve felt uncomfortable with your body? Can you pinpoint why you might have felt that way? Everyday. I have always been underweight and that was my biggest insecurity, especially during the summer time while engaging in outdoor activities. I wanted to be in shape and muscular like the rest. I engaged in men’s health awareness and learned a lot of ways to eat healthy and exercise. I’m not exactly where I want to be but I know with hard work and a healthy lifestyle I will reach my goal.

Can you ever recall a time you’ve felt uncomfortable with your body? Can you pinpoint why you might have felt that way? I’ve felt uncomfortable with my body for most of my life, but one specific occurrence was when I was pregnant with my first child. I did not eat as healthy as I should have during that pregnancy, and as a result, put on a lot of weight. During my second pregnancy, I was much more cognizant of what went into my body, and as a result, I did not gain nearly as much weight as I did the first time around.
