Britt Miller, a bodybuilder known as much for her beauty as physique, has announced her retirement from competitive bodybuilding.
From her blog
There are so many things in life that I want to do but have always been restricted due to bodybuilding. I admit that these restrictions were self-made but I wanted to be the best and I was willing to do anything to get there. To elaborate, I restricted myself from serious relationships, family, friends, and just life in general. I felt that I had to have that sense of independence and control to be my absolute best. Now I can see how silly this all appears.
Things that seem so important one day can seem completely irrelevant the next. I think this all ties in with me growing older and realizing what really matters in life, understanding that my friends and family and strong relationships create happiness for me. For the last 2 years I have been struggling to let bodybuilding go; feeling scared and afraid of being lost without my sense of achievement. I am so happy to say that I have finally come to ends with those thoughts.
I can not say that I will “never” compete again but I can say that I am the happiest I have ever been just living life day to day, knowing that I have made a positive difference in women’s bodybuilding and others lives.

you can always workout . going from one faze of life to another doesn’t mean you have give up what you love. balance is the key.
well the good news is she’s ready for a serious relationship. Britt, I”m here for you. I think we should just marry right away. It’ll probably cost me my house, my 401K, and half of my future earnings, but it will be worth it.
