People just dont get it
ok so this weekend of course my family is having a bbq and i am 4 weeks out from competition and cannot eat anything.. They had hamburgers hotdogs chillie beans cake pudding ice cream you name it they had it.. and yes it was very tempting.. but what gets me mad is when they rub it in my face like "look Felicia doesn’t this look so good" i said why do you do that!!! i know that they are messing aroud but at this piont in time i am just not in the mood to be messing around.. so then its my time to eat 6 o clock while everyone is having their potato salad and hamburgurs i am eating my asparagous and steak whic im pretty tired of eating.. well here comes my brother and sticks his hands in my steak and gets a piece.. OMG i went off!!! i mean im not trying to a bitch but this is all i get to eat you have all that food in there enjoy it dont come over here knowing this is all i have. and ya everyone freaked out because i am so not a bitch but it when it comes to the only fod i can eat please dont mess with me. everyone was laughing becuase they say "its just food" well they jsut dont understand.. no one in my family is healthy and they dont understand why i do this they think that i am starving myself they say that im too skinny but its not thay im too skinny i just dont have too much body fat and they think that its gross.. but i think they just dont know what healthy is because thei too busy stufing their faces.. geez no on know what im going through. so then they ask me if i wanna go have breakfast this morning because they think i need to eat…. ok i am so ready for this competition to be here..!!!! why is it taking so long!!!

hi.
Just dropped by to read your blog. I get that comments a lot "it’s just food, stop starving yourself, and you only live one" blah blah blah. I think to myself, "you eat crap, you are going to turn out crap", then I pictured myself 5 years, and 10 years from now…and it’s all worth the sacrifice.
also, it’s funny people who laughed at you are mostly the one that come up to you and be like "can you help me lose some weight", or "what do you eat", or "you look so good, i’ve been trying to lose a few lbs" …reality, they need to lose more then a few lbs…
have agreat weekend
you’ll do fine on competion, take pictures okay 
cheers

Felicia,
Hang in there. Our friends and family that aren’t fitness conscious don’t understand the lifestyle we have choosen. Compitition in any areana requires sacrifice and hard work which can be challenging and stressful. It’s hard for others to be supportive of that which they do not understand. You are an individual competitor, you are strong and determined! Hopefully the day will come when those close to you will understand and be more supportive. Best wishes in your compitition!

The bottom line is you’re doing this for you. You know what you want, and most likely, mainstream society in addition to family, will simply just not understand. Stay focused and be pleasant when people force stuff your direction: The more pleasant you are, the quicker they will lose interest in teasing you.

Dito on what the BodyAuditor says…the Guru himself is correct! You have a goal to accomplish, and whether or not family/friends don’t understand your healthy lifestyle at the present time, perhaps they will come to understand as they see you focused and training hard.
