Criticism from oustide the sport

This isn't snark directly at the athletes or anyone who tries...but more at the people who claim to be your supporters...

So i was dating this man for a while. He is not into fitness at all (i know, don't ask...i still am questioning how i got here). My life is fitness and i'm prepping for a show.

So i was showing him pictures of the top athletes. And explaining their physiquecsnd all of that. Mind you- only looking at bikini.

All he could say is "they looked so much sexier (before PEDs)" or "they don't look as attractive to me now".

And i'm like... first of all; no every woman is trying to fit your limited definition of attraction. Secondly wgat these women have accomplished is crazy and thesecare top in the world...they don't care about your opinion. They are living a dream life.

The whole conversation put me off because then it turned into "you are not thinking of looking like that, are you?".

I'm freaking out y'all -plz help / prep derail?

Edit to add: i am 174.5cm. My last weight was about 71kg (but i was in my luteal phase and haven't been able to weigh since -will do so tomorrow) Been in this prep with refeed weeks added in since February.

I have been in a loooong ass prep sans trainer. I am doing 2x fashion shows with ACB at the olympia in vegas and anaheim expo.

My prep has fluctuated at times - life happened. I kept strength training up and cardio and i was eating cleaner than ever and i feel like my body has just not responded as well as i hoped. I was keepibg protein high and volume eating low calorie meals and perhaps that has not helped?

I also have PMOS/PCOS and EDS (hypermobile).

Been focusing on this and my first show is 10 days out and i feel like i have so much celluilite in my glutes and hammys. My lower abdomen and thighs won't budge and i feel like i've remained at my bulk clothing sizes this whole cut.

I am able to lift heavy - my hip thrust is 529lbs (240kg). I can do stair master and treadmill on liw intensity for an hour. I walk about 6-10k steps.

Calories at 1300-1500. Protein 120-150. Carb cycling on heavy training days. Drinking at least 3L water a day.

what else can i doooo???

Should i lower protein to 100g? And prioritse carbs? Lower training volume? Go for runs?

Topic of badly fitting clothes: I need help!

I got the DFYNE L sports top with the halter neck bikini strap back and I got my boobs done. The top is an L and it's loose around me, but the coverage is not big enough for my boobs.

When I adjusted the top, I was cover but I didn't stay covered for long.

Really disappointed because I love the DFYNE look.

So where all are all the big boob bikini girls shopping for their gym tops?

My best finds have been: Shein and Primark but I don't want to support an ethical nightmare.
