[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 644678, member: 4152"] One of my closest friends is exercise addicted and I don't think it would take much for her to become anorexic. She is over fifty and weighs about 100-105 pounds...about 5'3". She works full time at a job where she is mostly on her feet, then does one or TWO exercise classes after work and another one on Saturday. Sunday, she cleans the house, but is often exhausted. Recently, they needed to paint their house and money was tight, so her and her husband painted it themselves and she did this after work and on the weekends. I told her to please consider skipping some classes and she wouldn't. Some days she looks VERY over tired and her face looks drawn and although we are the same age, she does look at least five years older than myself. Her figure looks really good, although she has lost a lot of her curves. I have greatly reduced making suggestions to her because I think she thinks I'm jealous. I have my brief moments...but that's about it. I recognize an addiction when I see it. I'm looking for self discipline and good health for myself. I do greatly worry about her at times. And I'm also saddened that although we are very good friends, she seems to get jealous when I tell her my health has improved and I can exercise a little. Women can be a little weird in this area, especially women who are hurting in the self esteem arena. I really try to always work on myself in that department, as well as strive for better health.
