Is this Normal?

A post shared by Celeste Rains-Turk (@celestial_fit)

Every show I’ve been to I’ve heard comments like this from competitors.

Usually if people try to engage in these conversations with me, I’ll make an effort to lead by example. I communicate my thoughts regarding food post show and reinforce listening to my body, enjoying the whole show day experience while I’m here & focusing on that, & knowing I’ll be able to enjoy foods based on what I want and choose but I don’t need it in large amounts and haven’t thought about that all day and night because I really have prioritized other conversations taking my energy.

I don’t think it’s ALWAYS a problem or red flag for competitors to eat backstage.

Obviously everyone’s process is different. But the food fixation and obsession just seems like such a disservice to the journey every athletes been on to then make it about food :/. It’s important to refuel and nourish our body & everyone’s body can respond differently!

Some can handle trying all the cookies or donuts & some can’t. I think the physical response aside, it can have a major impact on your mentality with food if the first thing you do after show is eat something you’ve been “dying” to have. I want to really emphasize here that I’m not saying to have no food you’re offered or given or nothing at all after the show. But I’m encouraging a more mindful approach when doing so.

Ask yourself & your body how you feel & what would benefit you in that moment & after.

I know there’s been times where I feel confident that a cookie is what I’m going to have but that most of all I need to see my family or friends if any are present, talk to judges and my coach, drink water, shower, & relax a bit. If you have an opportunity to have a memorable moment with loved ones or other athletes, & food is involved, it’s great to participate but know that you can do what’s best for you just as you’ve done your whole prep.

Practice mindfulness & be considerate of how your body feels & what you really want from / in that moment. Sometimes delaying the gratification of taste is the best option as opposed to quickly eating all the food because others are.

​I'm not preaching chicken & asparagus or cookies n donuts, just mindful & confident choices.
