Addiction to weight training I guess? Love to lift, be in the gym...I put on muscle very quickly in the first 3 years, without even eating or training right. Put on 20lbs of muscle in the 1st year. Competing just kinda followed. I had no intention of competing when I started...I didnt like the look of most pro female competitors at that time. (late 90s, when the look was at the most extreme.) They were getting alot of coverage in the magazines at the time though, which motivated me to compete. Not so anymore.... I have lost my enthusiasm a bit, and all the dieting takes its toll after a while. Might be time for a break.
1st intention was to compete in fitness, (this was before figure)but couldnt hang with the routines, no gymnastics background, and just got too big for that anyway
