Re: diet question
love u gurl )
Don't take this the wrong way
, you are probably feeling like you are nuts, which I've learned from M24K & Sassy is the norm with contest dieting. I cannot speak from 1st hand experience since I have not gone through it (YET).
Keep up the Awesome job Elana & Good luck
p.s. Will you be at the show In chicago Next month?
Hey girl... If you follow through Sassy's Log, she usually documented her emotions during her dieting, carb ups, etc... and even during the final days up until the night of the show. I believe M24K did as well (her little tale about getting a simple glass of water from that waiter post showElana said:

Re: diet question
It is very hard to adjust to competition eating, but I found that the best way to approach it is to look at eating simply as scheduled refueling. If you start obsessing about cravings for stuff that you can't have, it will mess with your mind. You need to step back from that and NOT let it interfere with your preparation. That's why I like to spend time as I get closer to the show focusing on the cute stuff like the suits, my posing, etc. Things that distract from the diet and are fun.
At the end of the day, though, you either DO a show or you DON"T. Anything less than "DO", is 'DON't". Any cheat you think you can afford, means there's someone else at the show who knew they couldn't afford it and didn't do it , so they may win and you lost and you know why you lost. Yes, it puts a lot of pressure on you, but it definitely keeps the priorities straight.
Honestly, when I did my 2nd show I started spending more time on the chat boards to keep myself busy between meal times. And it helps! My trainer also told me to buy a Playstation to occupy myself ... I didn't but it's an idea..!

Re: diet question
Hey girl, does it get easier, hmmm I'd have to say oh hell no.... It will get harder, hell I don't know how many times I wanted to pull my hair out.
haha @ Bunny yes that was funny, or the salty nuts story. It's definiately an experience I will not forget, and I have some funny stories to go along with the experience.
So elana yup the diet is hard as hell, I'm not going to lie, but I'll tell you this, the day of my show, I was running around all smiles (I think you can tell I was happy to be there ) and completely forgot how hard the diet was. Being up there on that stage, everything I went through was so worth it, and I would do it all again if I had it all to do over.... hmmm well I will be....and maybe sooner that I thought
Keep at it girl, you're hard work will pay off. And if you need to vent we're here you can always pm me if you need to.
Good luck to you huney, I'm sure you'll be fabulous.
