meltdown!
Today the low carbs got me! I had a major meltdown, did not want to compete anymore, nothing was working and I was no longer seeing any progress! Really tough day. I was mad at my trainer (for no reason) and I just wanted out! So I sent her an email saying that I could not go on for 7 more weeks like this and she changed my diet and 1/3 cup of oatmeal has completely transformed my personality and mindset! I am approachable and happier again! Lesson learned: always talk to your coach!

Sorry to hear you dropped out.
This is the hardest thing you can do.
You did it before,maybe rethink your decision.
I had to do low carbs to zero carbs the last 6 weeks out from my last show,I was fighting the low carbs to the zero carbs, think but you see the results.

Hope you are feeling better after that oatmeal and talking to your coach. You are still competing though, right? Good luck with your comp.

Don’t ever give up! Wow if I were lucky enough to get carbs at 7 weeks out:) When you first adjust your diet there is a 1-2 week timeframe for your body to adjust, I know it is difficult, but look at the overall picture and result. Is that 1/3 cup of oatmeal a day going to help you or hurt you onstage, not now? I am on no carbs, 4 days no fats, 1 day fats. Believe me somedays I wonder why I do it, but I look at my transformation and how I am going to kill it when I get on stage! Stay strong you will be great!
