I have never ever had the body confidence to wear a "crop top" outside the house, or anything at all showing my mid drift. I have always been self conscious of my post pregnancy tummy as well as my scar from a pyloric operation I had as an infant. However, before last month I never felt comfortable wearing shorts in the gym and now it is easy! So I stepped outside my comfort zone and wore a short t-shirt out for drinks with the girls last night - scary. Training for this competition is not only improving my fitness but also I am becoming more confident in my body image, which is something that I have struggled with in the past.
I start back at University this week to complete my degree in Nutrition and Dietetics which will mean I can practice as a registered Dietitian from Summer next year. So all the girls on the course had a little get together last night, some food, a few drinks and ALOT of dancing!
