It's hard to miss I know (and I'm sorry)
This is from last Saturday at the Borderstates body building championships..
Here, I was tortured for nearly an entire day.
If you know my family, we're all freakishly strong. It's genetic but athleticism is a core value in my home..
Growing up we had very few rules that I can actually remember, but one was that we had to play one sport a year...it quickly grew to one sport a season.
My dad is a coach and a good coach so sports were important to all of us!
My favorite was always soccer... I loved to train, play and compete...
One sporting event I never ever imagined being at was a body building show.
My brother competed in light weight (160 lbs and under) body build for the first time this past weekend. My brother is buff. I'll give him that. It meant so much to him to have us there supporting him and I was glad to go and fulfill my sisterly duty..
Some would think it would be enjoyable for other reasons-- but be assured its not worth it.
Two things rang so true and so clearly!
1. What profit is it to build body up and lose your soul?
2. Parenting is important. Scratch that. GOOD parenting is important--
Otherwise you'll see the array of girls with daddy issues like I saw
& no wonder...
Behind me sat a big scary man with his two pre-teen daughters
During the bikini contest it was particularly disturbing as he pointed out to his daughter what qualities were attractive in women's bodies..
I tell you, if he weren't so scary and big I would have slapped him!
That's my thought on the matter
And for now and a while I will stay away from all events that show skin
Vomit
