My ultimate goal….. to compete in a bikini competition! 

I want to overcome my shyness and fears. I know this is the ultimate way to do just that…. to get on stage in a tiny bikini… with all the effort (or lack thereof) I put in over a span of months on display, to be judged. Some people think of this sport as purely superficial.. they see a fitness competitor and immediately assume they’re vain and only care abut their appearance. But wait a minute, take a second and actually think about it. In order to achieve a physique like that of a top competitor… the INNER STRENGTHS they must possess include discipline, dedication, determination, drive, focus, passion, and insane willpower… just to name a few. So what if there is a little vanity involved? Who doesn’t want to feel healthy and fit? Is there anything wrong with wanting to be attractive to others (it’s human nature!)? Look beyond the immediate negative judgment and realize that these people have AMAZING qualities that inspire others on a daily basis! =)

EXACTLY. I’m so excited :)
