    There was a guy on "My Strange Addiction" who was addicted to cycling. He had destroyed both of his hips (needed them replaced) from his excessive exercise. Please see a professional before you do something like this to yourself.

    ITs not OCD Ive been told that by more than one professional. And if something is injuring me I wont do it. But thanks for the support I appreciate it. Ive already emailed my Dr. about the situation. And I will go from here.. THanks again!

    You need to seek out a therapist to help you with this one. It sounds a little like OCD to me.

    I think talking to your doctor is a good idea. In the meantime, can you at least pick ONE gym class a day (yoga or spin, not both), drop the 20 min. cardio machine warm-up before spin, don't lift heavy for 2 hours at a time (overkill, read New Rules of Lifting) and force yourself to take one actual rest day a week from the gym?

    Less can be more. And if you mediate the over-exercising, the eating might fall into place automatically.

    Good luck!


    This is exactly how I feel about the situation. I actually did pretty good this weekend on cutting out my sunday spin class. Thank you for the support!

    Really? That's awesome, congratulations! How did it go mentally?

    It was fine. I just kind of felt a little lazy. I did get a yoga class in and some light elliptical work. Just trying to tone it down a bit. Saturday my eating pattern was great. Sunday not so great.
