Never Give Up.
By: Jessica Reyes Padilla,

I understand that you really need to be in control of your life and have self-control because it’s so easy to fall in a dark zone as I have done in the past. I was once destructive but i decided to do something better with my life and choice and to never give up on myself.

From her coach:

I see her “no quit” attitude every day. Anywhere from the cardio, to the diet, to the training. She could be sick or tired and she’s still going to do everything she needs to do. Just watching that is a lot of motivation not only for me but for other people that also see her in the gym daily. They see her pushing through everything. For me, for other competitors, and for our competition; it’s really cool thing to see.

Bodybuilding saved my life. I found something I love and put all my energy in it. I feel so much passion for it. I illuminated every single dark zone and banished those feelings. For me, I actually found a reason to live my life in the way that I want because I love what I do and I put my all in doing my best and looking my best. The icing on the cake is that all of this is an amazing example for my son.
