If you agree with two or more of these statements, you may exercise compulsively:
- I exercise even when I run a fever or have a bad cold.
- The first thing I think of each morning is "exercise."
- When I can't exercise, I fear weight gain.
- I break dates with friends and family so I can exercise more.
- When I miss exercise, I feel irritable and depressed.
- I work out rain or shine, even in freezing temperatures or thunderstorms.
- I crave the "high" feeling that I get from exercise.
- I am underweight for my height.
- Losing weight has become more of a priority than maintaining a healthy weight.
