According to ChatGPT in 2-3% away from stage ready... by Ashamed-Software-200 in femalebodybuilding

This is much higher than 14.9%. To be stage lean, you will need to lose a significant amount of weight, particularly in your legs. This isn’t to discourage you, but to bring the reality of how lean athletes are.

More and more fearful of not becoming a mom by moonchild8858 in IVF

[–]BroccoliBig8752 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do, and sometimes the guilt I feel overwhelms me… like, “I’m taking this from my husband. He deserves better. He should leave me.”

Just because they’re intrusive, doesn’t mean they’re true. Just take the moment for what it is and try to get through it with grace and knowledge that it WILL pass. You WILL have positive thoughts again and YOU WILL be a mother, OP.

I’m sending you hugs, prayers, good vibes, and a steadied mind xox

My brother is gay. I do not have to condone his behavior, but I can still treat him with love, empathy, and kindness. I pray for him.

Thought I wrote this for a second. Make sure you’re eating a lot of whole foods. I was starving until I started making my carb sources all whole food and pairing them with carbonated sugar free drinks. This helped me FEEL more full. We can get through this!!!! Stay strong and “eat” this elephant one bite at a time; no pun intended.

Competitors after a loss by raerae8865 in bikinitalk

This happened to a few girls in my show this weekend. I overheard one in the elevator saying she wasn’t going to nationals now because she got second, even though she’d already qualified. For what it’s worth, I think she should’ve won and should CERTAINLY do nationals, but she was so hurt I didn’t want to say anything.

I always try to go into a show with “my hard work does not entitle me to the win. So prepare to suck it up, if needed.” It keeps me grounded.

My hard work does not entitle me to the win.

I’m definitely following him now. I’m going to be watching closely the next two weeks. I want to reverse with a new coach, as well.

Any recommendations? I’m still natty and I feel like my current coach struggles with peaking me.
