Hi Stacey!!

Thought I would say good morning!! I wish I could see you compete!!

 

[Fitgirl70]

C'mon down CajunFit....we'd love to have you in our big humble state!!!

I can't wait!

 

[Stacey]

Hey everyone!! Thanks so much for thinking of me. The contest is very iffie right now if I'm going to do it. I may have to do another later one!! I still want to compete-however my doctor thinks I'm hurting my body with all the exercise and dieting I'm doing. I weighed 123 yesterday on HIS scale--and normally weigh 126-127 on his scale. He told me not to lose anymore!! I told him about the competition and he was excited for me b/c he knows I love working out --- but he also said that I should really be concerned about having a baby right now. That my body needs to right now. He wants me to stop taking my pills when I'm done with this pack--that it could take me a long time to get preggo--or not--or I may not be able to??!! Thats just what he recommends for me to do.

I have a bunch of tiny cysts on both my ovaries, more on my left.. right now they are okay--but thats whats causing me to cramp. However he said if I keep getting the "sharp" pain --then its my endometreiosis acting up also (You can't see Endometreiosis when you do an inside ultrasound, that you can only see by surgery)--but you can pretty much tell if its it by different types of pain.

SO I'm suppose to track my pain-- and if it gets worse then we will do surgery.. but If I just have my cramps that are not too bad (the kind I'm use to) then no surgery.

Right now the cysts shouldn't form into ONE big one--but it is veryvery possible--b/c My body did that last year.

So I'm on a painmed for my cramping..

Thanks for all your concerns!!!

 

[JLB001]

Hmm....if now is the time for you to be trying to get preggo...then do so! I know from what you have said that ya'll are wanting one and waiting may make it to where you can not. Being a Mom isn't something you should pass up, if it is something you are wanting to do.

Competetions happen every year, regardless. But your ability to have a baby may not. Take the baby optition and pass on this show to concentrate on having a lil Stacey. I know that everyone that has been supporting you on here to do a show, would support you in your decision to be a Mommy too! Then we can have both you and Ann preggo! hehe

 

[atherjen]

I agree with Jodie 100%!!!! make the baby your #1 priority! I posted in my journal about what I thought about it hun!
I totally think its the best decision for the moment! competing is not for evyerone.... and other things in life become so much more important! you know you have my support girl!

 

[Stacey]

Hey Jodie--that was the sweetest post ever! Thank you so much for your kind & understanding words. I'm really not sure if I want to give up yet or not. I do know that I was suppose to start trying to have a baby after my surgery last July. He gave me 8-9 months to have one--saying It wouldn't be that hard during that time, and after that It would be very hard...but miracles do happen.

I really don't know what to do.. but I'm so happy to know that whatever I decide, you will be there for me! Thanks so much!!

 

[Jenny]

Aww honey, I'm sorry this is happening.. But sweetie, having a baby should be a higher priority than doing a fitness comp.. Having a baby is life altering and as Jodie said, fitness comps come and go several times each year

Talk to Matt about this during the weekend and see what his thoughts are. That's what husbands are there for, to support and care

Sweetie, we love you no matter what You are amazing and we all want the best for you

 

[Stacey]

I DO WANNA ME A MOMMY!!!! I have been going through for the last 10 months that "get all sad & gooey eyed" at babies everytime I see one --in stores-- everywhere!! LoL---

 

[Stacey]

Atherjen--Thanks so much!!!! Your so sweet!!! I really appreciate you understanding..

Oh ever since I started dieting down, I have been wondering if this is right for me. ??? Its easy to do a carb cycle diet- and have a treat everynight--like one peice of chocolate-- bitesize--but to do a comp diet--is SOO damn hard--and I think anyone who does it and competes is very strongminded and is awesome--just don't know how they do it.

Thank you so much Jenny!! I will have to really think about everything this weekend. I have told SO many people about the comp--I just don't want to let anyone down.

I also don't want to pass on my chance to have a baby. With the disease I have, I can't just have one at anytime.
My cousin has this--and she waited for 3 yrs (after her dr. told her to start trying..but instead she focused on HER and her career---and She has no children now--shes 50 years old--and she told me a month ago that she wishes she would have got preggo right away when she found out she had endo. ... I never knew she had all these probs.. I thought she just didn't want kids.. but she was pouring out her heart to me. It was sad. I do not want to be her..although she is an amazing Rich single woman --everything fabolous about her-- but No children.. nobody to grow old with but her dog Sophie!!

 

[Jenny]

Stace, WHO CARES what everyone else thinks?? This is YOUR life and YOUR future baby!! this is serious stuff honey, and it doesn't matter how many people you've told about the comp! They will all understand! If they don't, WHO CARES!!?

 

[Jill]

Hunny, do what feels right in your heart. A comp in hard, emotionally, I saw it tear apart a friend of mine. Everyone here at IM supports you 100%. BTW, my cous just had a baby a few days ago. Carter. A baby is a life changing experience, and all I can say is follow your heart.

 

[butterfly]

You know I totally want you to have a baby! But realistically it could take several months or years of trying. I used to work with a girl who had endo and it took her a good three years of persistent trying to finally get pregnant... she has 3 kids now!!!

One thing you do not want to do is get yourself all stressed out over trying to get pregnant. That will just make it that much more difficult.

My suggestion is to continue your life as planned, comps, modeling, etc. and WHEN you get pregnant you can put everything else on hold.

Do what you need to do to be healthy and to get pregnant but don't put your life on hold waiting for it to happen.

luv ya

YEP You are SOO right Jenny!! Thanks honey!!!

 

[Stacey]

Thank You Ann So much!!! I know, it could take me a long time to get preggo!! Your so right! Oh I won't put my life on hold, don't worry. I can always model for Fitpregnancy--just kidding

I do want to totally model!!!!! Thats for sure, not sure on competing..but will decide this weekend!!! My doctor said that I could be hurting my insides with all the not healthy dieting I'm doing.

Thank you Ann

 

[Jodi]

Carb cycling IS a healthy diet.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

 

[Stacey]

And Don't worry guys--If I do not compete (will let ya'll know Monday)

Then All the money that everyone dotated will be returned!!!! Just need to get with Ann on how to do that!!

And the leptigen will be returned to Ann-Only used one scoop.

I do need the lipoderm though to continue for my modeling..

Jodi- I didn't say it wasn't a healthy diet. I love the carb cycling--and will continue doing it.

I did say that the competition dieting is not healthy for MY insides!

 

[naturaltan]

I'm gonna throw my 2 cents in ... I think Jill said it best ... do whatever is in your heart. Although YOU want a baby, you still have to talk to Matt and make a decision together as a couple. As I understand it, he's hasn't said that he is 100% ready for a baby ... although I believe you said he is accepting the idea to have children sooner than later.

Good luck with whatever you decide. And you shouldn't say you're giving up the comp, just putting it on hold. You can have both.

 

[Stacey]

Thanks Nt!

 

[JLB001]

I don't want my donation back...use it for diapers! those are more expensive than shoes. LMAO
