Well that's just wonderful....

Apparently, I've gone from "eating too much" to "exercising too much".

http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/...es.asp?id=1542

..indicated by the following symptoms:
Choosing to exercise instead of going to work or enjoying social activities with friends or loved ones

Oh c'mon, who wouldn't skip work to go biking? And my friends and loved ones are welcome to socialize with me anytime. On a bike ride.

Refusing to take any rest or recovery days, even when injured

Rest? I can do that when I'm dead!

Continuing to exercise even when ill

Joe Friel sez it's totally good to ride with a head cold. So there.

Exercising to the point of exhaustion

Pretty much every mountain bike ride for me, ever.

Never exercising for fun

OK, a solid "not guilty" for this one.

Experiencing severe stress and emotional upset, including depression, if unable to exercise

Totally.

Obsession with calories eaten and calories burned

What to see years and years of fitday data on the subject?

Preoccupation with burning calories throughout the day, even when not exercising

You try riding 100+ miles a day for a couple days and see how much you care about how many calories you're eating and burning.

So yeah, I guess I'm a compulsive exerciser. I should counteract this by not going biking tonight and plunking my ass down on the couch!
