Almost there! Everything your experiencing is sooooo normal...I don't know if it helps but whenever I got hungry I just went to sleep to keep myself from eating! In the home stretch honey, keep it up!

I know everyone has their good or bad opinion on this but gum worked for me and my cravings.

Not sure if it will work for you but it's an idea!

I hope you find something to help with the hunger. I haven't really had any super bad days yet but when I am hungry I chug a diet coke or coke zero and it seems to fill me right up.

**julberg** · #**624** 07-26-2010, 11:47 PM

I'm sorry you are feeling the hunger pains! Can you have Crystal Light? I drink it in the evening when I feel like I might want to munch on something. I love Orbit Bubblemint Gum. It seems to curb the appetite for me. I had a bad habit of sunflower seeds after I quit smoking years ago. The gum has been with me since!

Hang in there pretty, only a short time left to go!

Great advice! the only thing about gum is, is I get obsessive with it LOL I will chew the whole pack in like an hour........when I'm hungry. LMAO I am pretty much addicted to powerade zero but I will try the crystal lite too the change up may help! Thanks hun!!

diet sodas have to much sodium, My trainer warned me about them and this close to competition I dont want anything to bloat me. But your right the carbonation seems to make you fill full. Maybe an option over breaking down and eating. Thanks Tanya! Hope all is going well with your training!!!

I brought my shoes back yesterday I will feel more comfortable in 5" heels anyway I couln't get my money back so she let me exchange it for a bikini and I fell in love with this the black and purple. In your opinion which one should I wear for competition? I love both and can't decide. Opinions are greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!!!!!!

I like them both. The purple I feel has too much fabric up top. But the darker one has too much fabric on the tush...

You look too good to cover it all up!

**Gymgrrl** · #**628** 07-27-2010, 04:23 PM

I like them both, too! That's tough.
I think I'm partial to the dark one, though. Maybe you could sew the butt down the center to make it more scrunchie, ie, smaller? I thik that would look great

But, really, you cant lose either way, they both look fabulous!!!

**k_fitness09** · #**629** 07-27-2010, 07:39 PM

You look great first off..But I like the dark one..The purple is pretty too. But I think with the spray tan or whatever you do..That black one will look GREAt with your dark hair n eyes..

If only I could magically turn the purple and black bottoms into brown and gold! LOL Thanks sweetie

**Scarl3tbutt3rfly** · #**631** 07-27-2010, 10:05 PM

The purple suit is cute! But I think for the show I like the darker goldish one. You look great in both though

I agree with Staci. I actually like the purple one best. But it does have too much up top and the darker one has way too much on the tush. I think they both look great though. Keep up the good work and good luck with choosing!
