....I love this positive, energetic community!
This is my first post dedicated to introducing myself to the Steemit community. A bit about myself: I am 23 years old and I'm from Vancouver, Canada. I work in Finance, because numbers have always been my passion! But aside from that, my favourite activity has got to be bodybuilding. I've struggled with a weight problem since I was a kid and have worked my butt off (literally) to get where I am, as I presume most of the Steemit community has also done.
Here is a picture of me in 2013 at 310lbs (left) to my current weight of 210lbs (right):
Nowadays, I still enjoy working in Finance, trading, bodybuilding, and even modelling!! Never did I think I'd be able to be a model one day, especially considering the weight problem I had early on my life.. but happy times are ahead! I've learned that if I keep a positive mentality throughout my day and tackle each day with my full confidence, anything is possible. Here are some memorable photos of when I first had the guts to model for my friend's instagram (tell me what you guys think!):
)
My goal is to one day enter the investment banking industry so I'm able to save enough money to open my own gym and offer training classes for people who are where I once was. It's tough not having support when you need it, so if you can offer a helping hand to someone going through a struggle that you fought yourself out of, do it.
I didn't want to make the post super long but to end this introduction, I'd like to say that I love the site, love the posts, and love the people! I will be really active as I plan on starting my own thread of my favourite cryptocurrency that I've been in since last September and has made me a ton of money: Stellar Lumens (XLM)! Cya at the moon guys ;)
