Am I crazy?
So my nutritionist/trainer have been talking to me about signing up for a competition and I just can't decide if I want to do it. I would be afraid or embarassed to tell my family and friends (so i tell my internet friends lol) and am just so unsure! I feel like this would be the time to do it since I don't have kids and am not TTC yet. I know it will be a ton of work but I feel like I am already living my life the way a competitor might so why not give it a shot. Thoughts??

Re: Am I crazy?
What do you have to lose?
It sounds like you are interested in enough to post about it here - if you are putting in the effort to work out like a competitor, and you are interested, DO IT!
And why wouldn't you tell your family/friends? Its something to be proud of - don't let other people's potential reactions stop you from something that you want!

My family is not into being healthy or fit and they constantly get on my case for being "too thin" or "why dont you just eat a cookie" blah blah blah. I just think if i told them that I was doing this they would be so judgmental. I also will need to lose just a few more pounds and am concerned about their reactions to that as well. Makes me very uneasy.
Then there is the fear that I would look totally absurd up there! lol

I understand. Its hard to deal with comments like that. But try not to let that get to you.
But I do not think that you will look absurd! Your trainer wouldn't encourage you if that were the case!

Re: Am I crazy?
I think you should because then I could live vicariously through you!! I would love to do fitness competitions but my body is no way in the shape it should be for one.
I totally understand how you feel about things that other people say. I constantly get comments about my weight, losing weight, love for excercise, etc. I've even had a friend get annoyed because I dont want to go to get ice cream and buffets with her all the time. So I know how you feel and its tough when you dont have full support from everyone around you (not that they dont care- I think they just dont understand)

Re: Am I crazy?
I don't personally know you, but I definitely think your're the right girl to do it! Based on your pics, you already have the muscle tone and based on your posts, you are very disciplined. You only live once! You'll only benefit from it and you'll learn a lot too! Do it!
