Star Struck

I am having the hardest time realizing that all these other Figure competitors are really a lot like myself.

For instance, I visited Amy Peters website and ordered her DVD and she sent me a personalized Thank You note with my DVD. And emailed me multiple times to see if I needed any help with anything else. And Jenny Lynn was the same way. She emailed me to ask for my pictures and wanted to give me help in any way she could. Then yesterday I ordered another DVD - this time it is a very well known DVD that Tanji Johnson made on Posing...well this morning I have a email from her asking about when I'm going to compete and is it in Fitness or Figure! This is the weirdest thing to me because I see these women in my magazines! They are celebrities in my mind. They are PRO Figure competitors! The fact that they give a crap about little 'ol me and what the heck I'm doing is so freaking weird!!!

So then it makes me realize that these girls are just that amazing. They obviously are some of the most dedicated and motivated women on this planet to do what they have done. But to still be real people even because of their fame in the industry really shows what kind of people they are. Heck, the worthless personal trainers at 24 Hour Fitness act like they are "better than thou" just because they are personal trainers (which isn't saying much by the way... they could use a few lessons themselves).

It is so inspiring to be dealing with these women. I am so thankful that they want to help me. And for being so new to this and having so many people around me really unsure of what I'm doing... it is super nice to have the best of the best encouraging me.
