While I am not happy about this decision, I know it is the right one for me...2 days ago I made the tough decision not to compete in May. Just like Fiona, it was not an easy decision to make and it was one that came with a lot of backlash from a lot of people but I know for me to be able to get on stage I need to do it properly, I need to look 100% and I need to feel 100%.
After going through surgery 2 weeks ago and having multiple injuries over the last 2 months I now understand that to get on stage in May I will have to do it in an unhealthy way which will inevitably make my current hormone imbalances worse and more than likely do some permanent damage to my Leptin levels and Thyroid.
