Mindful post-show meals > binge fests backstage

I was totally guilty of indulging in the belief that competitors are supposed to eat ALL the foods they’ve fantasized about for weeks on end post-show.

People around me even fed into this mentality by always asking what I’d eat, what they could give me, or where we could eat after (which now I more productively respond to for boundary setting).

1 time I brought tons of treats back stage & then had 5 slices of pizza & who knows what else.

Another time I grabbed whatever I could get my hands on from the dessert table back stage & ate everything so fast to get in as much as possible.

I always felt so bad & wanted to be more respectful of my body.

I hydrated after show, asked my body what she really needed after such an intense prep process & long show day, & took the time to implement my mindful eating strategies after I took a nice shower & got changed & celebrated/reflected on the journey.

I think it’s important to have a nice meal post show to replenish & refuel your body.

I also don’t think we need to demonize any sort of food chosen post show or the desire to enjoy something you haven’t had in awhile.

But it’s also important we recognize that you are in a more vulnerable physiological & psychological state entering these decisions & being able to slow yourself down, engage in healthy thought patterns, & make the best choices for you, your body, & goals is really important to making the most of it & if you don’t practice that throughout your season it’ll be very hard post-show.

It is possible to enjoy foods without stuffing yourself, have no post-show meal or save it for another day, & to incorporate the foods you’ve been wanting into your plan over the next couple weeks rather than eating it all in 1 weekend because otherwise it “won’t fit”.

It is worth noting that I think some competitors can engage in what appears to be a binge fest without actually binging or overeating but most of the time I see this mentality of binging perpetuated.

Experiment & find what works for you post-show to have sustainable results & longevity! Be kind along the way❤️🧠
