I took a good look at myself in the mirror this weekend, actually a few of them. lol The exercise was to force my brain to see what was really there. A strong, not-as-fluffy-as-you-think-I-am, official Figure competitor, woman. A girl friend of mine had told me that no matter how much I tried to prepare for the post competition blues, it most likely wouldn't be enough. She was completely right but I think I've done alot better than most their first time around. This weekend I was able to see me for me and not what my mind's eye had been projecting. Am I "cured"? Heck no, but it's a start.
This week vow to be proud of how far you've come in the journey you're on. :)
I have to admit, I'm not so sure what the post competition blues are. I'll be going for my first competition in October, so this is the first I've heard of it. :)
ReplyDeletePost competition blues is the unofficial term of what happens to you emotionally once you're done the competition and you start to gain the water back and your tan fades. Alot of people get depressed, start to eat more, and gain a ton of weight.
ReplyDeleteWell put love! I'm doing much much better now. Finally got my eating back under control and am ready to tackle this. I'm proud of you!!
