Competing is a challenge because you have to step away from a comfortable balance and a “normal” appearance in order to push your mind and body to that elite level.

People will look at us as being too skinny, too hard, or just plain self-consumed but what they do not realize is how incredibly dedicated and focused we have to be in order to get to this level. This drive flows over into all area’s of our lives.

Being able to achieve a specific stage look is a competitors motivation, however stepping onto the stage is just one milestone in our competition with ourselves. Our real goal is to be a better parent, employee, self.

If you ask me why do I do this? It is because it makes me mentally and physically stronger. Some fast for a higher power, I fast for a more powerful me~!
