I was competing to lose but…
By jennincat • Nov 16th, 2008 • Category: Competition Countdown, PhotosI won. Go figure. Now, I what am I going to write about? I had this, what I thought was going to be , really great post on losing ready to go. I need some time to think about it so instead I post a few pictures which are probably more fun than my silly “profundities”. Tomorrow I’ll post more about the experience itself and some more pictures.
Getting ready.

jennincat is is no longer a yo-yo dieter. For over half my life, I’ve struggled with my weight and self-image. I’ve tried every diet under the sun and most of them worked - temporarily. Each diet left me more frustrated with myself than the first. One day, I realized it wasn’t the diet it was me and I decided I was going to make the changes I needed to get my best body ever. One problem was motivation and discipline. So after some serious internal reflection I felt like I should prepare for a figure competition. My goal is not to win the competition but to lose that fat and bad habits I’ve accumulated over the years, in other words, I’m competing to lose.
I live in California with my wonderful husband and two rambunctious boys. We own and operate Nims Media, from our home. I enjoy most things but some of my favorites are reading, acting, camping, cooking, writing and daydreaming.
