You don’t mind fish, rice and green beans for breakfast.
You forget what it is like to eat off a plate and drink from a glass.
You have your slippers next to your bed, its enviable you’ll have to wake up in the middle of the night for a restroom break.
You’re a robot in the morning, your daily activities revolve around your supplements and pre-workout meal. i.e. The moment you get out of bed you’re headed for your fat burner, your morning tooth brushing follows your pre-work shake.
You have a bi-polar wardrobe.
You tend to do most of your workouts in front of the mirror.
You boil eggs 3 dozen at a time.
Your veins look like a road atlas.
You forgot what it’s like to relay on only breakfast, lunch and Dinner. Now its Breakfast 1 and 2, lunch 1 and 2…etc.
Your best friend is your gallon water jug.
You find yourself going to the gym in less and less clothing.
You don't need to know the time to instinctively know it's time for your next meal!
You’re lost without routine and structure; boredom is not in your vocab.
Your idea of treat is sugar free dessert gum.
Your day depends on how your workout went that morning.
.....and I am sure I'll think of others, please share yours!!

When bread seems like a gourmet meal.

There is no such thing as the 5 second rule anymore, without a doubt you are eating it
You never leave a plate (tupperwear bowl) with food left, you practically lick it clean
You don't mind eating tuna at 10am (I constantly get yelled at for this one)
Repeating this one because its SO TRUE: Your idea of treat is sugar free dessert gum.
You have a new appreciate for the word: HANGRY (Hungry/Angry)
You have to pee every 30 minutes

You're less strong than you once were
You stick religiously to the diet in fear of that "one piece of candy" that may make you lose your 1st place placing.
It's cold, everywhere. (closer to contest)
All of your clothes are now baggy/lose
Others not understanding that you literally cannot eat anything that is NOT in your pre-contest diet plan
Like others said before, sugar free gum is now the best tasting thing in the world.NPC Amateur.

You really want a treat so you go drink some BCAAs.
You make up excuses to avoid social outings with people who don't know you too well...
You've had asparagus pee for so long you no longer notice it.
One day you feel on top of the world, pumped for your workouts, and chatting with everyone you meet. The next day all you can think about is your next meal and how hungry and tired you are and how much everyone sucks.

You don't hang out at bars with your friends, not because you can't drink or eat the food, but because your azz (or lack of) hurts from sitting on the stool/bench and you are too tired to stand. (And too embarrassed to bring a donut pillow)
You're evening glutamine chewies are a treat. (until you get upset when you remember that they have 20 calories)
You fall asleep in the DL rack.
You walk head down eyes down as to avoid making eye contact with people because you are too tired and cranky to suck it up and smile and say good morning.Coming out of "retirement"...Meg is training for a Figure competition...again!!!

So I was in the grocery store today buying only two things: 5 bunches of asparagus and a tube of Preparation H (supposedly it helps to tighten up loose areas of skin?? & I'm competing on Saturday.)
The checkout lady asked me if I was cooking something special with all the asparagus and I told her no, asparagus is just a good diuretic and I'm trying to flush out my system. Her face kinda feel, and I didn't realize until I left the store that she probably thought I had some bad hemorrhoids...

- You find mustard and hot sauce to be the most decadent and gourmet culinary creations ever developed.
- Crystal light
- low fat cream cheese + greek yogurt + sucralose makes you forget all other desserts.
- You put tupperware in your tupperware***Unjustly mod negged crew***

-If you and your spouse are both getting ready for a show, all your arguments are now all about FOOD, and your kids hide all the cookies, chocolate etc. where you won't find em
-All the sudden every day at work is free pizza and donut day
-Your sense of smell has gone insane, you can smell what someone 2 blocks over is cooking.
-Your wife thinks your checking out some girl but your really fantasizing about the snickers bar she's eating.
-You both go to see a movie think'n it will be "safe" but the second you walk thru the door, the smell of the popcorn drives you bat **** crazy enough to chase a deer down and bite it in the neck.
-You open the freezer and see that your wife has started a collection of all the deserts and birthday cake she missed so she can eat it after the show.Last edited by btamol; 02-17-2013 at 07:09 PM.
