So you all know that I'm going to do a figure competition in June. Right now I'm 7 weeks away and it's hard and intense. But I'm still sticking to my training and diet. I also have to put all my mind and efforts into this. Besides this board giving me support, I only have my boyfriend and my twin sister. It sucks because I come from a huge family. None of my other sisters and brothers don't give a crap of what i do. And let's not forget my mother. She is totally against that I'm going to compete in the figure. She thinks i'm waisting my time with it and I should be going to church and be a good Christian woman. Sorry but no thank you. I did 8 yrs of catholic school and pentacostal church for her. I love going to the gym and lift weights. This is only thing that keeps me sane and I can control.

It's so important to be Christian and leave the gym and competing or can it be met in the middle? Right now, I'm not ready to serve God. Is that okay?
 
I would be glad to discuss this via PM as not to blow up the board.
 
A lot of pentecostals are like that.

My ex girlfriend worked with one when she was in Texas, and ran into her at a restaurant when she was eating dinner with her family. My ex said hello and the other girl looked at her like she didn't even know her, and then ignored her. My ex just walked off, and when she went to the bathroom the other girl followed her in. She said "please don't say hi to me in public, you are not a member of my church and I am not allowed to talk to you." This of course pissed my ex off, as it is fucking rude. To top it off, the other girl was an honor student in college, and was very intelligent, but was open about the fact that "I am supposed to have a bunch of children and stay at home, I just went to college for fun and once I get married I will never work again." Kind of sad really.

Just my take. I grew up Southern Baptist, and only Pentecostals seem to be more judgmental and critical of everyone else.

It's true... they are judgemental and they shouldn't be.

It is funny how the "more Christian" some of these fanatics get, the more they judge everyone, just the exact opposite of what Christ said.

Irony is the best form of humor.
 
bananas..one thing has nothing to do with the other.IFBB Pro Mark Dugdale is a devoted Christian and competes a bunch of times every year and takes time off from his Church duties. .l hate when people use the 'religion " card to make others feel bad about themselves ,specially for something as healthy as a figure competition...i thought being a good Christian was all about encouraging and support others on their goals and plans.
