I had a long talk with Tony....i told him everything that happened, and he was kind of mad of the fact that she messed with my head. In one instance she was saying how good my symmatry was, and then in the next instance she was saying how i wasn't going to be ready and i was going to just come in skinny with no muscle and basically look like a drowned rat next to these NPC girls. He said that she was wrong and he would tell me if i was ready or not. He said that it basically sounded like she just wanted money from me...which im sure she does....he just wants me to be happy with my decision. I told him if i didn't trust his opinion, i wouldn't have stayed with him for a year and a half! Of course i trust him...if he says im ready, im doing it, if not then i will push myself to August! He was just upset really about my mental aspect of it. He said i was on fire, and now it sounds as though im giving up! Im not...and i am going to forge ahead...with him...and see where it goes! I know he will not let me get on stage if im not ready....
So i have to send him pics tonight and see what happens.....i know im leaning out, but i just have a lot of junk (cellulite) on my butt and thighs....that is what im worried about the most.
Im staying strong...and i am ordering my one piece :) The purple one....i love it :)
Thank you everyone for your help....it really is a mind game...this whole thing....i need to stay focused on what i want.....and what i want is to walk my ass (hopefully little ass) on that stage and see what happens :) That is my goal....and hopefully i will reach my goal in 6 weeks....if not.....then i have a little more time...but i will get there! I promise you that!

You should trust your judgement, and do what you feel is best.
Whatever you choose to do regards your current situation, needs to be 100% right for you, whatever course of action you take.
You WILL do what's best for you.
GOOD LUCK
:-) :-).

Well your ass is gonna be smaller than it is right now in 6 weeks so I know you can do it! Like we talked about, you won't be comparing yourself to anything else except for the fact that this is the best you've ever looked in your life! Will you look better in August, you betcha but it will be a good experience if you choose to do the June show as well.
Hi there! I've been lurking and now I'm butting in...I was just thinking that the whole figure competing should not be a "mind game"-it should be fun and make you feel good about yourself-if none of that is happening-then what's the point?
I'm speaking as someone who has never competed before-but is doing a comp in sept-but also-I've worked out for years, and eaten pretty healthy for years simply because I like to-no mind games-just fitness.
Anyway-I'm glad you've worked it out- try to have fun with it!
I'm glad you trusted yourself and made the right decision for you. It is a mental game overall so stick to your guns and just keep working hard to reach that goal. If you end up going with August instead of June, that's okay, too. You'll be awesome no matter which date you choose!
I didn't want to chime in, given the fact that I am one of Tony's clients. But like others said in the post before, it's not about being a man or being a woman. It's about knowing anatomy and physiology and knowing how to train people. There are lots of male gynocologists out there that do incredible jobs in spite of not being a woman. Sorry, that's the best analogy I could think of.
Tony has guided some girls that have had amazing results. Look at Stacey. Look at Tina. (and look at the non-competing chicks that look great due to him).
In my opinion, this woman would tell you whatever she needed to in order to gain your business. It's all about money. If you want to go with her, that's your choice. But remember, she DOES have have motives (i.e. money). I understand that Tony makes $$ too. Just because she has your hips and thighs, doesn't mean she knows how to train. Just because she's been in comps doesn't mean she knows everything there is. How long has she been training people? Has any of her trainees won shows? Wait, did she have a trainer when she was competing or did someone train her? What makes her an expert in the field? Also, as far as her telling you you're doing way too much cardio, how far out did she suggest waiting? Two weeks out? I'm not expert, believe me, but I would think the extra cardio is so you can burn fat. Just my thoughts. (Those weren't questions I needed answered..just rhetorical questions)
I think staying with Tony is a good decision, however, it is up to you. No matter what you decide, you will be supported!
I'm really glad you talked to Tony and now feel better about everything. You deserve to be happy and do what's best for you. We're all here rootin' for ya girl!
My only advice that always rings true is: Pick 1 person to give you advice, and then listen to only that person, from begining to end!
Everyone will always have an opinion, but the only opinion that will count is from the person who has trained and dieted you from the begining.
MY OPINION: You're going to do great, and all the folks who comment and read your blog are behind you!
You still have 5 weeks...dang, go full force ahead, you'll be ready, I just know you will!! Get that fire back, get pissed off, damn it!! Oh girl, trust Tony, trust your decision, and get pissed off at her for stealing your fire, show her you've already got an amazing Trainer. And I've seen you in person and I know from my own photos, we always look better in person!! Tony has no idea :)
