FITSARAHBEAR'S DORM ROOM

It seems like it’s inevitable. You’re prepping for a show for weeks and then the next thing you know you’re looking in the mirror not seeing what you expected. You’re wondering why that layer of fat covering your abdominal definition hasn’t melted yet and why your legs haven’t come down in size. It’s something all competitors go through. The process of holding ourselves to an almost unatainable standard and wondering if we will be ready for the stage when that day comes. In one moment you think you are right on target and the next moment you have no idea how you’re going to shed the rest of the fat. It’s time to get tough. Not just physically tough, but mentally tough. You recite to yourself, “I will be in my best shape ever on stage.” Repeat. Then you say, “I am so happy now that I am on stage and in the best shape of my life.” Repeat. Train your brain. It is stronger than your body. Get away from me Doubt, you are not welcomed in my mind.
