Opened a Can of Worms

Apparently this is ugly

Over the last week people have been putting their transformations on the 12wbt Facebook Page.  The Lean and Strong program is under represented on the page so I decided to post my comparison pics ... after all the program is supposed to cater for everyone.  Minutes after uploading the photos I got a comment of 'how can you think this looks good' and when I asked the commenter to explain what they meant she deleted it.  And then I got another person's comment saying that I need a good feed (or something along those lines) and how Mish would agree with her because can't you see my ribs sticking out in the second photo.  Ummmm .... that's muscle, Love!  I think it's sad that someone who is healthy and fit is considered underweight and disgusting.  I also think it's sad that people think they can comment on people's weight regardless of them being big or small.  I guess if I didn't want critisism I shouldn't post on that page but I honestly did it because I  like the L&S program and there are loads of people out there who are at a happy weight but are looking for a program that suits them.  Round 2 has started today.  Yes, there is another one where I have been called 'f***ing ugly'.  I would take the photos down but there is part of me that thinks stuff them, I have every right to put my photos up there as much as the overweight people do.  I'm proud of the muscle I have built and shouldn't be made to feel any different.

3 Weeks To Go

A little bit less than that, actually. I actually had my first comp dream the other night. I dreamt I got onto stage and the judges said that my legs and hips were too fat and that I couldn't compete (you can't half tell what is worrying me the most). Then they grabbed a measuring tape and measurement my waist:hip ratio and found that I was within their set limits. Weird!

I'm feeling great today. Hubby took some photos yesterday and I'm really noticing the changes. I'm pretty happy with how I'm looking overall and can't wait for the comp. Speaking to Liz today has helped as we spoke briefly about the game plan for the next few weeks. I love her approach to comp prep.

We had Hubby's Cricket Presentation last night. I made this a free meal and even indulged in dessert (I didn't have my icecream this week). Hubby is amazed by how much food I can put away at the moment, it seems that I am constantly eating but I'm also constantly hungry. The thing is its all good food, loads of veges - I'm loving it!

My friend, who I haven't seen in awhile, accused me of having an eating disorder last night at the function. She commented several times that I would most probably go and throw up after my meal. I guess my body has gone through some amazing changes in the last few weeks and I suppose it can surprise people who don't see me everyday. I bit my tongue as she was drunk and there was no point in explaining I fuel my body with great, nutritious food and push myself hard when working out and this is the reason I'm losing weight not because I starve myself or purge after eating.
