Title: you know you're a bb/figure/fitness competitor when...
Post by: az on October 08, 2006, 05:24:09 PM
you have off season clothes and dieting clothes.

you can look at the back of a female pro and tell who she is.

an easy day at the gym is only one visit.


please continue ladies, it should be fun!!!

you can't "go to the lake" because you have to eat in 2 hours and your next meal is a shake and there isn't a blender there.

you pee right before starting the lawn mower, mow half the lawn and have to run in and pee, go back out and finish the lawn and run inside having to pee so badly that you have to "hold it" like you used to when you were a kid.

you can't wait to go to bed because your next meal (when you wake up) is egg whites and oatmeal!

people at the gym that have never bugged you before start getting on your nerves. 

hearing about a new flavor of sugar-free gum warrants a trip to the store

You can rattle off the caloric value...grams of fat, carbs, protein for every existing food item without skipping a beat.

There isn't enough room in your drrawers for clothes because the workout wear takes up all the room.

When hiking or cross country skiing, you suddenly notice how quiet it is, then turn around to see you've left your SO behind in the dust.   :)

You start closing your eyes to do your sets at the gym so no one will talk to you during your set.  You also close your eyes if you see someone politely waiting till you're done w/your set because they want to talk to you.  Even though they are politely waiting there you still want to kill them.

When the gal running the vaccuum cleaner in the gym comes near you, you actually scream.

You get really good at taking military showers.

You tell your girlfriend her delts look good in that dress.

It pisses the hell out of you when you arrive at the gym just as the yoga class finishes and the dressing room is swamped with women.

breakfast lunch and dinner don't exist, only meal #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 and #6. (I just ate #3)

you have bed sheets/pillow cases just for comp time so you won't screw up anymore sheets/pillow cases.

you want to beat up the person who got on the stair mill right as you walked up and it infuriates you even more as you watch them not have a clue as how to turn it on.

you have to buy stretch jeans because regular denim doesn't fit you right anymore but you still have to wear a belt because the waist is always too big but you have to make room for your thighs.

shopping for bra's is no longer fun.

If you are having a shake made for you at the gym, you won't even turn your head to talk to your friend because you must keep your eyes on the bartender at all times just in case they try to put weightgainer in your shake.

You won't go to a restaurant to eat for the last 3 weeks of your diet because you don't trust them either.

Post by: Jodi on October 29, 2006, 07:47:43 AM
The cash that would normally go into your 401K instead goes towards Trident cinnamon gum purchases.  You don't dare count up how much you spend in a month on gum.  It would slap you in the face with your addiction.  Nevermind the constant ache in your jaw that should be a reminder of your problem.

You find yourself running to the bathroom every thirty minutes at work.  Yes, you have to pee.  But the real reason is to check and make sure your abs are still there and didn't take a hike when you arrived at work that morning.

Your birthday gift wish list includes a cathater.

You have a stockpile of deoderant:  in your bathroom, your purse, your office desk drawer, your gym bag.  And yet you still somehow forget to put it on in your mad rush to get out the door while remembering all fifteen jillion bags.

You never have hands to open any doors.  Cup of caffeine in one hand, jug of water in another, gym bag, purse, cooler resting precariously on one or both shoulders.

Food or sex?  Food or sex?  Food or sleep?  Food or fun?  Food or...?  After a show, food will always win.

The idea of lying like a beached whale with a tummy that looks 12-months pregnant and bemoaning your existence while swearing to never eat an entire cheesecake after a complete meal of bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a milkshake actually sounds good.

You begin to crave salads.  Even if they have no dressing.  To eat like a rabbit would actually be nice.  To eat a piece of gum would be nice.  To have just one luxurious sip of diet cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper would be heaven.

Everything tastes like chicken.  Ummm...that's because every meal is chicken.

You want to snap the heads off of everyone at the gym because they're using your weights.  All of the weights in the gym are your weights.  YOU are doing a show.  THEY aren't.  They aren't as important, and they should know that.  You are seconds from screaming at everyone, "Get the ?@*! out of my way!!"

You actually take the long way around the gym to get to the restroom to avoid talking to or being noticed by someone who just wants to say hello.  No time for hello.  No time.  No time.  NO TIME!!

You get such joy and glee out of watching a guy lift miniscule weight and then telling him, "No, I do not want to work in.  I have to put weight ON that bar...not take it OFF."  <Girly giggle following that statement and evil glint in eye because you know you just crushed that poor boy's ego.>

You know what time it is by what meal it is.  Meal 2?  10 a.m.  Meal 5?  4:30 p.m.

You are the ultimate multi-tasker.  You can take a shower, cook your chicken, do a load of laundry, run the dishwasher, upload photos, and send text messages all at the same time.

You run late everywhere.  Everywhere!  Even with all that multi-tasking.

Have food, will travel.  You have no shame about whipping out the chicken and asparagus anywhere and anytime.  If push comes to shove, the meal will be eaten in the sitting room of the Nordstrom's restroom.

You have mastered the art of doing hair and make up in six minutes flat.  I didn't say doing it well.  I just said doing it.

Everyone wonders if you are preparing for a second Hurricane Katrina evacuation.  Why else would you purchase 12 one-gallon jugs of spring or distilled water at one time?

Jodi, your post is so great!!  I'm not a competitor...but live the lifestyle.  And taking care of a BB...you can't help but have it rub off on you.

I always wonder about the time issue....WHY oh WHY are you guys always LATE???  That drives me CRAZY!  Monica B was the same way (when she lived in LA).  I honestly believe that Bob will be late to his own funeral! 

You forgot the one about having 3 extra small microwaves, and 2 extra george forman grills in the garage.  The ones bought "on the road".

And along with the numerous boxes of gum you buy...you cant forget the multiple cans of PAM and Molly McButter.

 You're at a job interview and the general manager ask you if you have any questions and your question is can you take time while you're on the clock to sneak in your meals because you must eat at least every two hours.

  You go use the resroom you actually go in there to flex in the mirror rather than actually using the restroom.

The night of your show you pack 2 bags.  One w/clothes to change into to go out in later, and the other full of candy, cookies, trail mix and wine to immediately tear into as soon as you step offstage.

After your show you eat a full baked alaska in your car on the way to the bar.

- you dream of brownie sundays... all the time, day or night

- you yell at the scale because it hasn't moved in ... 2 hours (since the last time you stepped on it)

- the meat manager ask if you want that lovely piece of chicken breast shrink-wrapped and you instantly think of the day of show and what you're supposed to look like.

- people tell ya that your looking awesome and you barely have the strength to muster up a smile to say thanks (even though inside you're think you aren't there yet).

Yes they do, I miss those...actually my favorite thing on my diet has been Species peanut butter vanilla protein with just a bit of water to make a "pudding."  Then you freeze it for about 30-45 minutes until it is semi-frozen and add a bit of Walden Farms chocolate sauce which is a zero calorie/carb syrup.  I am sure it is NOT healthy as far as ingesting chemicals and having NO CLUE how they make a chocolate product with no caloires but sometime you gotta do what you gotta do to make it ;)

I had the Walden Farms calorie free Ranch salad dressing and I thought I was going to puke.  Nasty stuff.  So does the chocolate taste like chocolate?

the ranch is super nasty...most of the products are....DO NOT TRY THE PEANUT BUTTER!  but the chocolate in smaller amounts is pretty good.  If you get too much of it it tastes a little funky but in small quantities and over half frozen protein pudding it is phenomenal....

It was my first job and a few years ago.



Any old jokes at this point may be detrimental your health.
Known common side affects are;
a) A strange urge to roll to the ground clutching ones groin.
b) Being able to see ones testicles in the mirror while brushing your teeth.
c) A markedly higher voice and having your friends start to call you Tina.
d) Breaking out in a cold sweat when near a pair of designer shoes
