The journey to transformation is often a cause of years of struggle to accept oneself for who they are. The 33-year-old fitness trainer has a very similar motive in getting people to lead a healthy lifestyle. At the age of 14, when she was at a swim practice, a male teammate covered her arms with his fingers and meant to measure the size of her arms. Once he did, he started measuring the size of his biceps to suggest they were the same. 

Sohee Carpenter, after that incident, suffered from anorexia and bulimia, but she always maintained intense activity levels as a teenager. However, one day, she decided to bring a change, and became a fitness trainer, so that no one else has to go through what she went through. She recently shared the many challenges that often come in the way of being fit and healthy.

She said, “Even though I’m a certified strength and conditioning specialist, the majority of my content is focused on body image and eating behavior.

After the incident at the swim practice, Carpenter started skipping her meals and got herself into every possible activity that had even the slightest chance of making her lean. With time, as she got into eighth grade, she started counting her calories instead of missing her meals and started just eating less. She became overly conscious about body image, weight loss, and dieting in her 20s.
