Are you a Cardioholic – Part 2 – the Signs of Addiction
Following on from last week’s post – I don’t want to give the idea that I see lots of exercise as a negative. I am all for lots of exercise, just as I am all for healthy eating. However, becoming obsessed with what you do and do not eat, or becoming obsessed with exercising are still obsessions, still addictions.
“…it can become a compulsion, an obsessive need to work out multiple times a day, hours at a time at the utmost intensity your body allows”, says Susan Moore, the program coordinator at the Renfrew Center, a treatment facility for eating disorders in Philadelphia.
