I am very much into exercising and feel addicted to it myself. I workout with a weights (barbell and dumbbell) three days a week and on the other days, I go bike riding outdoors. I just love it all. And it makes me feel better doing it and afterwards. I workout at home. I don't like the gym that much.
As far as the fasting goes, well I have to admire anyone who can food fast. I just feel like I don't have the discipline to do that. Like NowhereUSA said.
Interesting about what you said about sex. I don't have a relationship either. But I do MB from time to time. I'd rather have a real relationship but that seems unfeasible for me. I can't seem to make a go of it. There are times when I feel too tired to MB.

Wow, that sounds similar to my situation.
Normally when I ride the exercise bike I can feel the runner's high kick-in after an hour. When I took antidepressants I noticed that I couldn't get a runner's high anymore. Also I noticed that my sex drive was reduced. So the two things that helped me out of depression no longer worked, and the antidepressants only made me feel nauseated.
I have wondered if wellbutrin would be less likely to interfere with the runner's high, because it has fewer sexual side effects. Apparently the runner's high chemicals are similar to what you experience from sex and chocolate.
The fasting is kind of hard for me too. I drink lots of water when I fast. I've heard that is very important to drink water.
