RACK
I explained to her yesterday that I've thought about calling it off a few times as I know how selfish I'm going to have to be next year, her reply was "Don't you go dumping me, I'm well happy!" Hence me feeling like a cnut.
as selfish as show prep can be, i can promise you mate, that having the love of a good woman will make it 1000 times easier.
me and my lass split for a couple of weeks during my prep, if we hadnt sorted things out, then i wouldnt have got where i did, looked as good, or in truth made it to the stage.
even just the little things, like shaving, skin prep, tanning etc etc, are an event in themselfs. Much easier when its your GF doing it, and it becomes an event together. when your at the show, as much as having the support of your mates etc is 100% needed, having your girl there is something else. Go to shows and see how lost the people who are single look!
you absoloutely do not want to be dating, meeting new people etc etc when your dieting for a show and doing prep. You dont need the head fcuk of it not going well, the mess up in diet and routine of someone that wont understand etc etc. so unless you plan on spending the next year single and celibate? i know what your like, so cant see that happening! But can also see in your journal and on FB how you struggle with the image of what you look like, this will get worse before it gets better during prep.
Guys that have been with their GF's for a long time, can struggle to get their support, yet you have one that wants to be involved!
not saying you should stay with someone if its not working, BUT need to consider everything, now and in the near future when making decisions.....
