 Ms. World Physique Contestant
|
 Hello, my name is Darcy Dassow and I am 26 years old. I am currently in the United States Marine Corps and fitness is a big part of being in the military. I am originally from a small town in Wisconsin and am now living in San Diego, California. Right now in my life, I am single with no children and I feel it is a great time to take it upon myself to do things that I love and enjoy and that is working out.
Growing up, I was active and enjoyed going to the gym to lift weights and have not stopped since. That was 14 years ago. I began reading everything I could on lifting and nutrition. Being from a small town in Wisconsin with not a lot of money at all for a personal trainer, I could not fathom ever having a muscular yet, feminine physique. In my mind, it was just a dream, and I just continued to go to the gym and lift on my own desire with no support from family or friends. It was not until recently in April 2011 when on a daily basis I would have random people asking me if I compete in bodybuilding and I was receiving compliments about my body any time I went out. I thought to myself if this many people think I look like a competitor maybe I should take this to the next level and be one. I hired a personal trainer. Within a few disciplined months, my body began to transform. I felt amazing! I felt physically and emotionally fit, I had a true sense of accomplishment and well-being. I also had more confidence with myself and decided I would give competing in a bikini on stage a try. I have competed in two figure competitions and in both I proudly walked away with a 1st Place "A" Class Figure trophy. I was shocked I had to have other teammates of mine tell me I won because I just did not believe it. I love working out and seeing results with myself but what I love more than that is being told by friends and random people that see me at competitions that I inspire them to work out and not give up. It is the best feeling in the world knowing people look up to me use me for their motivation. Voting begins January 3, 2012 |
