Tisha,
What a great article. You made me chuckle as to how we all go thru that sort of situation at one time or another. Its nice to know that we aren't alone.
I know that everything is a learning experience, and you always think you know the most, until the next time you learn something new......
Keep up the good work, keep it real, and let us know we are all human!

Tisha,
This was a wonderfully insighful article!
I smiled through the entire read. They say you can only get better; if that holds true, I can't wait to read your future articles.

It's clear to see that Tisha has yet another talent she's been hiding ... She's a writer! I so enjoyed reading her article about her first competition, it was so 'real'. Her writing style makes you feel as if you're right there with her: Fun, easy reading and hits home for any challenge a person may be facing. I am not a body builder, nor do I compete in body image ... HOWEVER, this article was much more about just a competition. It's about overcoming fear and having the courage to move forward.

Thanks for the insightful reading and speaking from your heart Tisha. I look forward to reading many more of your articles!

Wishes for Health and Happiness Always ~ HarleeJ (Seattle)

Nicely written article. Its good that you wrote about the mental aspect of what was going through your mind during the competition. Both men and women thinking about competing should read this.

Hey everyone, I just have to say (I'm blushing~) LOL. Writing has actually been a passion of mine since the first grade, from poetry to children's books. It's quite an honor to be writing for THE best DAMN bodybuilding site now! I am sooooo glad you all had a good read, hopefully you can learn through my oppsies and laugh a little too. I am flattered at the responses I have been getting here and via e-mail. I hope I will continue to entertain you and I love to hear your feedback good or bad, i can take it! i'm pretty tough Take care/Stay Fit/Be True~

Great Job! I loved reading your story Tisha. It was well written and had me cracking up. What a sense of humor. Keep the articles coming!
