hello I'm working on an episode of true life about exercise addiction and wanted to see if i could speak to you further about the topic. Speaking to me wont' lock you in to anything, but just had a few questions.
Thank you for showing such strength in posting this video. It really hit home for me, and brought tears to my eyes. I struggle with obsessive thoughts and behaviors around exercise, that it seems to rule my life. You encourage me to break out of the destructive pattern. I really appreciate you sharing your experience, and with such compassion to help others. Thank you and I wish you the best!
Me too. I'm an exercise bulimic. I no longer purge though it happens here and there but now I'm seriously into exercise. I try to cut back a bit but it's so hard because I worry obsessively about the calories and fats, etc. I worry about my legs and such in the future. It's so scary how much damage is being done.

I didn't think my ED had a long-term negative effect on my body until recently when I learned I have steatorrhoeic hepatosis and high cholesterol due to prolonged starvation & sudden weight gain. I try not to be angry and blame myself but it's difficult.
You're right that EDs have consequences even after recovery. I'm relieved your tumor isn't life-threatening.
Are you able to swim? That's supposed to be low impact.
i agree, i was crazy exercise when i was younger and never eatting. wow, now i am super sick and had my first serious surgery at 25 and now i can't even walk long distance. =( i look back and i can't believe what i would do to look good.
The funny thing is. When I was at the worse in my eating disorder, I ran all the time without eating, and all I thought about was how fat I was. Now I actually run more, because I love distance running and racing, but I do it for different reasons. And because I love what I am doing for the experience, I am living, eating, and taking care of my body. There is such a difference between ED exercise and good exercise, and who knows what long term effects ED has done that has not been discovered!
I'm just wondering, is there such a thing with having an eating disorder but in the sense of eating too much? Like having to "feel" like you have to eat? I've always been overweight and trying to exercise each day but its tough cutting back on my portions. just wondering? thanks.
Yes, it is called Binge Eating Disorder, Compulsive Over Eating, or Emotional Eating.
It is being included in the next addition of the DSM as a diagnosable disorder. The ED clinic that I have received treatment at also treats Binge Eating as a disorder.
oh, Binge Eating? I thought it was called something like that? Does binge pretty much mean where you totally change your eating habits and go back too your old ways? Also, do you know of a good place online where I can learn about this and why I feel I need food sometimes to feel satisfied? Thanks for your info above, I really appreciate it. I also checked out your page, looks really kewl and I plan on checking out your vids too! :)
A herniated disk? OUCH!!! My mom just had surgery for two, and watching her be in so much pain was awful. I didn't know you could get that from exercising too much. xP
As far as exercising with your herneated disc problem, you should really look into water therepy with a physical therapist? I hurt my back a few months ago and did water thereapy along with stretches and weight machines and the water therepy was my favorite, worked me the hardest and had the LEAST impact on my body, its much easier on your joints. - amazing! I wanna start doing it again.
oh yeah, I didn't wanna make my last post all about me, lol...I really wanna thank you for being so gracious with your personal info. I haven't thought about exercising in a way that would be more sustainable for my body. Don't cry though, I'm sure you've prolly heard about "someone else haveing it worse,"...but just think about the lessons you've learned by going through this situation. And now you can TRULY make a difference in other people's life, maybe everything does happen for a reason?
What a great video, this really helped me think in a different way. I'm trying to get healthy for all the right reasons- my insides, not outside.
I'm 29 years old, 5-10, 215 lbs and trying to loose weight by walking 50 mins everyday and 100 mins/day twice per week. Do you think that is too much? I do admit between working in a restaurant and doing my daily walks I don't have a lot of energy for other stuff and my feet and knees kinda hurt sometime, but I am overweight so that might be why?
When I was 16 I over exercised. I would exercise every day after school for 2-3 hours then I would work out after every meal I ate and at school instead of going to lunch I would walk up and down the halls for 30 min. :p I was horrible!
My sweetie needs to see this video 18 billion times...I've been trying to tell him. Thanks for posting. Blessings to you!

Yoga may help your neck. Have you tried it? Iyengar style yoga or Kundalini yoga may be the most helpful
