Trading in Obsessive Perfection for Freedom without Sacrificing Consistency as a Competitor

Learning that flexibility IS OKAY was one of the best things for me in my time away from the stage

Since allowing myself to enjoy the foods my body asks for/ desires, I am not as food focused

While I stick to my plan & love the nutrition protocol my coach gives me, I also will work things into my macros now which I NEVER would’ve done in the past

Being in the 12ish weeks out range now, it‘ll be fewer swaps so I can give myself & my coach the most clear picture of what’s workin

But I’m writing this to let you know that even with a black or white mentality, like so many of us have as athletes, you need to do what supports you longterm

I knew I was going to be prepping & in pre-prep phase for awhile (since summer now) & while the food on my plan is super satisfying, sometimes you just want a protein treat 😛

I used to be SO obsessive about everything which added to the pressure I was putting on myself already


Since allowing myself to make replacements, like green beans instead of spinach or a peach instead of an apple, I have felt more connected to my body & goals

I’m not going off my plan eating chocolate because “i feel like it or it was there” & I’ve never struggled with discipline tbh so I never go off plan in prep

But my definition of “on plan” has shifted slightly where I’m okay with using macros every once in awhile to make a swap when I want one!

Doing this makes me feel even more empowered & I know that after my show, this freedom within myself, will allow me to sustain my results even further which is necessary in this sport that requires dedication & patience

I don’t believe making peace with food comes from macros or a diet plan, though for things like disordered eating the diet absolutely plays a role in some cases, but I believe it comes MOSTLY from a mental shift

The ability to say “I’m no less of a success for changing this & if anything it will make me more of a success longterm” takes identity work & courage

Recognizing how you might be sabotaging your success & making the internal shifts needed to move through it is NECESSARY to become your best
