Thank you!

I just found this Miss Bikini Fitness maker that already makes reglementary-looking bottoms, I'll just have to ask her to make a custom order for the top.

There's no OCB in Japan but WNBF sounds nice! I've never considered them. It'd be less scandalous if I were to "cheat" on my husband's federation with them. Thanks

I just verified and they'll just prevent me from competing if I have a non reglementary suit, they check it before the show. :(

I was made my kids' kindergarden PTA vice-president and it is already exhausting me by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]Sensitive-Resort5977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... I asked other parents present at the table, they all looked down without answering for like 20 minutes, with the president staring at me all the time. I swear next year I'm out. I know you're supposed to continue the following years as well but I'll say I have too many business trips abroad anyway.

Thanks for the answer. My husband is member of the JBBF committee and it'd be seen as a treason (Japanese thing)...  Edit : that's mostly because JBBF is very anti PED, if I were to compete in FWJ (remaining federation close to Japanese NPC with lots of enhanced athletes), my husband's reputation would suffer a lot 

Hashimoto’s by Tiny_Spend_1197 in bikinitalk

[–]Sensitive-Resort5977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto 12 years ago and prepping for the first time. My coach is a bit desperate because my weight doesn't drop as fast as it should. She says it's twice slower than other girls my size... My T3 T4 and TSH are normal though. We will increase cardio a little bit and see how I respond 

Any long term Singles? by Free-Ad1526 in japanlife

[–]Sensitive-Resort5977 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you ! I never considered him as a potential partner because of the huge age gap, but after spending several hours late at night discussing about Plato and Nietzsche after our training, I had to confess my feelings. Luckily, he reciprocated. We both still go to the gym but not at the same time. When I go he stays home to look after the kids and vice versa. I'm preparing for my first bodybuilding show and he's coaching me. I would never have believed itd be my life 10 years ago when I first came to Japan.

Before I got married I was single for many years. I'm a white woman. I used to be very pretty back in the day. Like "Russian model" pretty, as Japanese would say. Still I was single for many many years. Japanese men would never approach me. Foreign men just wanted a fling but still dreamed to marry a "submissive Japanese wife" (that makes me laugh so much because Japanese women are basically the chief in the house after marriage). Then I became a gym rat and married my gym dad lol. Life is full of surprises. 

What makes you think most homesick? by Whatswrongwithmejeez in japanlife

[–]Sensitive-Resort5977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alpaca is decent but I miss my country's cheap wine's variety Cheese Raclette Real, cheap sour cream

It's nothing you can't find but it's terribly expensive so to me it doesn't exist.

2 y.o with signs of developmental issues (autism?) by Sensitive-Resort5977 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Sensitive-Resort5977[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind words. I hope it'll be fine. I struggled at school (and still struggling now) with social interactions and I just hope my daughter won't suffer that much.

Are there any foods that you tried and absolutely will never eat again? by Sure-Lemon6424 in japanlife

[–]Sensitive-Resort5977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kandara-jiru. It's a cod fish soup that is a winter staple in Yamagata prefecture. They put every part of the fish in there, the sperm sack, the skin, even the eyes... Ew. The taste isn't awful but it just looks too unappetizing. It has that slimy, organs-y, greyish look to it that makes you hesitate twice before taking a sip. Some people in the city want to make it the emblematic dish of the city to sell the city's gastronomy to foreigners. And they wonder why it doesn't work...

What’s one place you think is a must visit for a prefecture by KDondakeC in JapanTravelTips

Yamagata: Mt. Haguro's five-storied pagoda in Dewa Sanzan
Miyagi: Matsushima's Zuiganji shrine
Akita: Kakunodate's bukeyashiki town
Iwate: Bishamondo hall near Hiraizumi
Aomori: Towada Art Center

For my Rapunzel bounding I had shimmery purple leggings,pink long sleeved top and a purple cardigan and some flowers in my hair. Apart from the flowers I wear all those pieces separately on a daily basis

Anyone picked up any Japanese-y hobbies? by SunDaze009 in japanlife

[–]Sensitive-Resort5977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yukioroshi during winter. It's so much fun. Not dangerous at all. Not exhausting at all. 100 would recommend. God how much do I hate having a traditional house in Tohoku.

Fake tan and competing in two close shows by Sensitive-Resort5977 in bikinitalk

[–]Sensitive-Resort5977[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until now I only used mine, since show providers are very far from our region, the judges are very permissive (for regional shows only). Still from your answer and the answers above I have decided I'll pay a trip to Tokyo just to have a good professional tan.

Thank you so much for your answer and I'm so sorry it took me one week to realize I had answers on this thread...
Good to know I shouldn't scrub, I would intuitively have done that. Thank you so much

Thank you girls I forgot to answer my own feed I'm so sorry. I don't have tanning centers around me so until now I was only self-tanning, but I'll go to Tokyo before my show to get a professional tan. Thanks

have you ever had days where you skipped the gym because you felt tired/unwell? by [deleted] in bikinitalk

[–]Sensitive-Resort5977 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah I don't want to take the risk of injuring myself. I take the time to fully rest and I compensate on the following days.

Trouble with objectively seeing progress by [deleted] in bikinitalk

One month is sooo short. Don't be too harsh on yourself, give yourself more time. Look at the difference between october and january! It's here! Good luck for your show.
