Is it just me? I'm getting really worried about the TOTAL lack of drive. Do you think its just stress? Lack of cals? Overworking? Will it come back? Please? I don't know who else to ask . . . And I hope this doesn't get me kicked off . . .

Weird Question - Do you have decreased sex drive during contest prep?
Nobody is perfect. Don't want what they have; want what you can become.

Believe it or not i've heard this same thing and have experienced it myself. I know in men if you increase your fat intake this will help with the lack of drive you may have...for women i dont know if this would apply....

I have fallen victim to this as well. 3 contests and this has happened 3 times. My mind is into it but my body is just not there. Usuallytakes me at least 24-48 hours post contest for everything to start returning to normal.

Yes - totally happens.....I am so tired and stressed from juggling everything that it is the last thing on my mind - which is ironic since you LOOK your best you would think all you would do is walk around in the buff all day lol. I found the night of the show after the awards and such and I eat some carbs I am ready to go lol - no worries it will come back. A downside for sure
Good Luck sweetie.Joleen Axworthy

Never had libido problems heading up to a show.....I was the exact opposite wanting it all the time. Not being natural has a lot to do with it though.

Whew!
I feel better knowing this thing is normal for a lot of folks. I feel sexy and walk around nekkid all the time - my husband just doesn't get to try and do anything about it! He actually asked if I were cheating! I was floored, until I thought about it. I guess it has been a loooong time . . .
On the up side, he started dieting to lose those 15 lbs since the wedding. Not that that makes a big difference to me, but, well, you know . . .Nobody is perfect. Don't want what they have; want what you can become.

last 2 weeks leading up to a show i would take a hamburger over any maxium or playboy cover girl. =/ like was said earlier the hardest part is explaining to your girl that its not her.

A lot of the lower sex drive is the result of your diet... many women experience the same type of low sex drive after eating wedding cake.
