I want to know from those of you who have competed (or plan to soon) what is the motivation behind it? Im not talking to those of you, like Fitness Chick, who will go on to be a national competitor/fitness models either...I talking to the girls who do one or two local shows for whatever reason....
Is it just for the experience? The desire to see how much you can transform your body in 16 wks? To show everyone just how good you look? What is it exactly??
I throw around competing in my head....for me, it will only be for the experience, to learn what Im/body is capable of....one minute Im "gung ho" gonna do it, next minute Im thinking - all that hard work - is it really worth it?
Pumpgirl once said (hope you dont mind me quoting you) "I dont need to get on stage to have some stranger tell me if I look better/worse than the girl standing next to me,what do they know? I have my mirror" or something like that....that really is so true....who knows what the judges want that day, or who knows who that night, etc....
So tell me girls....why do you do it?
