Contest diet support thread

[GeminiJedi]

Oh man! I could not have found this thread at a better time! I'm just over 7.5 weeks out and it's starting to get hard....As much as I'm trying I'm having a hard time convincing myself that my broccoli tastes just as good as waffle fries

[shankuan]

I'm 3 weeks out and ready to tear my locks out. Other than the usual sweets (i have a sweet tooth) i crave, which this time around is not as bad as last year, those peanuts are driving me nuts!!! I am still allowed peanuts, but finding myself sometimes tempted to eat d WHOLE damn tub!!! i have to measure out the EXACT amt in a little glad container for d whole day I'm at work, versus taking the whole jar to work and measuring it there!

I'm at this point tired, crankly, and funny enough, horny as hell! I have this conversation/debate each morning i wake up and have to do my cardio...."do you want to look GREAT on stage or just ordinary. if its ordinary, then go right back to sleep and get to cardio later, if GREAT is what your going for then GET YOUR SORRY ASS outta bed NOW!". It works sometimes, on those days i'm really dragging ass...i honestly have no idea what gets me out of bed so frickin early.

My swearing has gone up again due largely to being annoyed at EVERYBODY especially during feeding time. That's why i time my meals so that i end up in the lunch room waaaaay ahead of the crowd, so i am not harassed with the smell of nasty chinese food, or greasy fried chicken from either KFC or the restaurants around this area.

I was fine for majority of this prep, far more so than last year but this past week has seen my turn into a complete nightmare. I'm not really craving foods, except that my birthday lands in the middle of the nxt 2 weeks, so NO BLACK FOREST CAKE!!!

Other than all that...i'm peachy!

Glad i could vent cause i think my boyfriend is tired of me bitching now. He's a sweetie and understands but i've pretty much abused him terribly. For that i'm gonna have to makeup SERIOUSLY after this comp.

I hear ya! This week was the toughest. You're on the home stretch now! And just think--your birthday present to yourself is a better physique than last year Double the pleasure when you get your black forest cake after comp

Anyone else not getting cravings? (Except when its shoved at you on TV). I'm hungry, tired and ennervated, but not craving much. (After 11 weeks of keto, and 15 weeks of total dieting.) 7 more weeks of this to go.

[Miss Muscle]

Well I have found my home for the next 19 weeks

I just started prep for the Tri-State show October 10th in Erie, PA.

[shankuan]

Holy crap, i recently switched to eating fish only cause i really could NOT eat another piece of chicken (it seems not to sit very well in my stomach anymore...) and MAAAAAAAANNNNN am I ever hungry!

i've pretty much kept the cravings under control for majority of this prep (show is June 20th) but darn it if I aint starting to behave like a crackhead new to rehab... twitches and voices in my head and stuff!! lololol!!

And to think i'm even considering another show later this year!!

[tammyp]

those brownie blizzard ads are getting to me..i dont even really like choc ice cream..but damn those look good. i seem to crave whatever is on tv ads the most..last year it was cheesy bread..and i never had it. guess when i can, i dont care

[stephaniewicked]

I was the same way with the Frosty ads that Wendy's has been showing... it was driving me crazy the last couple of weeks, then I didn't even want it when we made a Wendy's pit stop Saturday night.

Tam - if you're ready early like George thinks you will be, will that allow you flexibility as far as maybe having a cheat meal or snack or two prior to the show?

I've been reading articles on post-competition blues and how hard it is for some girls to get back on track after enjoying our post-competition food fest.

Granted, I do have another comp lined up in two weeks so I had no choice but to get back on track Monday morning, but really by Sunday night I couldn't even imagine going into the next week eating crap, and I didn't even eat that much crap! I couldn't...my stomach wouldn't expand enough to get it all in
