Yea, she sounds like a chick I used to date.  The world was her oyster, and she would do all she could to find that sole grain of sand.  Completely beautiful… everything going for her, beauty, looks… and yet, there’s always going to be something missing.

Classic case of “nothing will ever be good enough”. 

I’m sorry for her self-imposed deficiency.  She’s so gorgeous.  What a shame.

Peace and love,

Well after reading the whole thread, Its nice to see shes willing to give it a shot again. We were worried, but hey... at least there were damn good opinions there.

I think that happens to people who drive themselves too hard to succeed at something, they feel a need to continue to improve and they fear that if they don't find a goal to set, that they've become complacent and are on the downswing.  So they start to pick at everything obsessively.

If she took time away from weightlifting and bodybuilding, it may wind up being therapeutic for her.  Best of luck to her regardless of the circumstances.

This is probabaly way out of place in this thread, but after reading her posts, and those of her bodybuilding friends, I see an incredible mental similarity between her bodybuilding pitfalls, and what a lot of artists, including myself go through from time to time. It's almost as if the only thing different is the outlet this "muse", for lack of a better way to describe it, is expressed.

Hopefully others who have gone through what she is going through can make it clear that she is not alone and help her through it.

The one positive that is sure to come of this is that younger bodybuilders will read her words and and learn from them. When they face similar problems they will have her experience to help guide and comfort them.
