I have not taken a rest day from exercise in over a month. I feel extremely guilty if I do, afraid I will suddenly blow up and become morbidly obese. I know these fears are not rational and days off from exercise actually are recommended, but lately, I just can't do it.
muddy, I'm like you. People perceive me as underweight though my BMI is still normal but only just. And I love the feeling the ED gives me from being perceived too thin by others; I love it too much I think. One the other hand, I spent most of my adult life a bit with an underweight BMI until I got put on Zyprexa. I feel like well, I'm only losing the weight I was on before Zyprexa, it's not a big deal. I still eat normally, but I exercise pretty much daily. I take several power walks each week that are exceptionally long though when I do pilates I do a normal workout time for most people. It's a tough road to row.
