My Introduction to the Bikini World I was introduced to the bikini competition world in college when I began cyber-stalking my college sweetheart's ex-girlfriend. She was a dancer (think: naturally slender and lithe) and bikini competitor. Instead of feeling jealous, I found myself (also a fit-freak) captivated by her world of chiseled bodies and flashy suits.
But it wasn't until May of last year, when my muscle-head boyfriend suggested we do a show together, that I signed up for my first competition, the NPC-IFBB Titans Grand Prix show hosted by Jon Lindsay's Muscle Contest. I knew it would be a long, hard road full of sacrifices. I knew it would test me in every way possible -- mentally, physically and emotionally, especially given my past (more on that later). So began my 16-week transformation into a bikini competitor, which I quickly learned is so much more than spray tans and shiny suits.
