I spoke on @ctvedmonton during Eating Disorder Awareness week about my obsession with exercise.

I would work out for hours a day.  This included fasted cardio before a full day of training clients, because that was what I thought I needed to do to be a successful fitness leader. I would lift weights on my break in between clients. I was exhausted and I felt like exercise controlled my life.

My body was still never good enough. My personal relationships were suffering because I was choosing the gym over all other social outings. I would always feel anxious about eating at restaurants where I couldn't control exactly what was in my food. I didn't drink wine, which I LOVE!! 🍷❤️ I got help, and everything changed. I started to question my relationship with exercise, decided that in order for me to run a successful business, stay sane and healthy, I just couldn't continue training for hours a day. 😖😖😖😭😭

Fast forward to Saturday morning.  🤙🏻🤙🏻 On days like today I feel SO empowered by short and INTENSE workouts that make me feel fit, stay healthy and strong AF without having to spend all day in the gym. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 On April 7, Katie Chamberlain has put together a seminar,  along with the help of a Psychologist and a RD, to discuss Eating disorders and Excercise Dependance-when does something healthy become not so good?? 😔😔😔😔 Please see the Eventbrite link below. Is it time you questioned your relationship with exercise? Are you training to burn calories or to earn your food for later? Do you feel like you have to train in order to eat? Can you take at least one full rest day a week or does the idea of rest make you anxious? 😎 Let's have a talk. We want to help. Love you, Deanna
