I am addicted to endorphins

[Lumberg]

I realized today that I am 100% fully addicted to the endorphins I get from working out.

IF I take even a few days off I get REALLY grumpy.

Whenever I am faced with a stressful situation I just wish I had some heavy weights to take out the stress on. This happened to me today even though I am still sore from two days ago and I also had a heavy workout earlier today.

And the endorphins I get off on are those ones where your heart is pounding, your head is spinning, and your muscles are screaming out in pain kind of endorphins.

I am addicted to repping to failure. Which is tricky because I can't do that too often and not overtrain.

However this is a great realization. This is an addiction I will cultivate for the rest of my life. I am a functional addict and will remain one for the rest of my life if I can help it.

It's all about UUUUNNNNNGGGGH!

I was like this once! I loved the way my body looked but I wasn't being the best mother or wife. I'm a all or nothing type gal. I need to learn Moderation!

you dullards do realize that opium & endorphins are almost chemically identical as far as the brain is concerned right?

It was weird, I used to be like that, and for some reason it just stopped... I am still in OK shape, but I am too fat for my own good now as you can see in the avatar.

And you wonder why the kid on the fisher price tricycle got away from you...sheesh.
