BODYBUILDING GIVES
ME A FEELING OF
FULFILMENT
Bodybuilding gives me a feeling of fulfilment, of personal
achievement and a way to be proud. Bodybuilding helps
me to be in harmony with my body, nurture it, eat healthy
and never develop the kind of feeling of being at war with
my body because of the illness.With bodybuilding, I've
developed more stability and gained balance. Since
September 2018, I started to walk at home. Despite the
surgeries, my condition has got much better and I
recovered almost completely from the 2016 relapse.I
believe that bodybuilding and nutrition are making a big
difference for me. I just did a performance as guest poser
at the Niagara Falls Pro Show, something I've worked very
hard for over a year. I expect to be back for competitions
around 2023, after recovering from all the surgeries.
