Uhm guys, did you read her post or did you just watch the pic and read the headline?

Quote out of her blog:
"I know i am letting alot of fans down that have followed me throughout the years. I truly am sorry that i am not out there competing for you guys and for the sake of womens bodybuilding. I hope you can understand where i am coming from. I do not know when or even if i will compete again, i will leave that to the passion that lives within me to decide..."

She says very clear that she has lost the passion for bodybuilding and competing. And she will take some time out. If she returns is open.

I hope she will earn back her passion for bodybuilding....

Did anyone else think that post reeked of "My boyfriend/fiancee doesn't like me with muscle so I'm quitting"?

Both of you are wrong.

Her boyfriend, fiancee now husband has been supporting her for several years now.  Constantly encouraging her and is a bodybuilder himself.  There was never an inkling of him saying that she shouldn't have muscles anymore.


I've been following Cindy for the longest time and it was when she turned pro that she had lost -all- passion for bodybuilding and was just in denial.

She had moved, gotten a new job, was training to do all this stuff, was trying to fit workouts in with her schedule.  It just wasn't working at all, she wouldn't be able to stick to a diet, and constantly missed shows.  She would try to -force- herself to get motivated but it wasn't working.

None of this had anything to do with her boyfriend, it was all about her lost passion that she never got back.  Read up on the posts she made when she got the pro card and you will see a drastic difference in attitude.  Her boyfriend was around before she went pro so he was definitely not the reason why she decided to lose her mighty physique.
