Hows that looking for you? This 47 year old muscle babe grew up as a scrawny inactive kid with a heart murmur and was a compulsive over-eater. She confided ‘When I hit puberty my metabolism changed and I doubled my weight in one year. Since I was already the school geek and prone to being everyone’s favorite punching bag the extra weight didn’t do my self-esteem any good and I developed Bulimia. After 15 years of suffering through my self-destruction I was able to over come the disease although I struggle with my mental pre-dispositions everyday.’ She later got married and her husband was diagnosed as Morbidly Obese and Emery as Significantly Obese. She says ‘He weighed in at 302 lbs, 43% body fat, but I was not much smaller at 188 lbs., 38% body fat. I knew that if we didn’t do something together that neither one of us would make it. It had to be something that would interest us both. That something turned out to be bodybuilding..’ And oh Mama! what a body she has built, photographed here splendidly by professional photographer DJ Shy. She and her husband are now both Paid Call Firefighters; Emergency Medical Technicians; Apprentice Stunt Persons & Certified Personal Trainers, and Emery even runs her own website as well. Pretty impressive I’ve got to say…
