Has anyone here gotten addicted to working out?

Looking forward to hitting the weights?

I never thought for a moment I could eat 6 meals a day but my body has gotten used to it.

I have quite enjoyed working out because I can tell I have made decent progress.
 
hell, i look forward to the gym nomatter what. i dont get it why people go like "ahh.. i have to go to the gym :( " its fun :D
 
I remember last year the last thing I wanted to do was workout, people would offer me free guest passes but I never went. And now I love working out, it's one of my favorite things to do and probably my highest priority besides work. At least it is a good addiction to have.
 
I'm not addicted to it, but I love it as much or more than anything else in my life. Hell, on Saturday and Sunday, I'll go for HIIT or a long run, and have to stop myself from doing any kind of lifting, so as to not throw off my status for Monday...
 
I have non-exercising friends who think that I'm addicted because I exercise regularly and I enjoy it. I think that some people associate exercise with drudgery so much so that they assume that something must be off about a person who enjoys it, who looks forward to it. Oddly enough, a lot of those people who bemoan exercising are regulars at the gym and they make it so obvious that they're terribly miserable being there.

I would hate spending 1-2 hours a day doing something that I hated doing.

Anyway, I wouldn't say that I'm addicted. Exercise is an integral part of my life, but it doesn't drive me. I have other interests; that I exercise regularly enhances my ability to do and enjoy doing those other things. It's a nice symbiosis.

I wouldn't worry about it until your girlfriend/wife leaves you for it and your friends stage an intervention.

Until then, it's a good thing. After then..it's probably still a good thing, you just need to get a more appreciative girl and better friends. :p
 
I'm not exactly addicted to working out, but I am not far off, I do enjoy working out because I have gained a few pounds this month and I can tell that I have made decent progress.

If I was to keep gaining a few pounds every month I will be one muscle man!
 
As these guys say, I'm not addicted to it, I do get sorta mad at myself when I miss a day or something and I think its one of the funnest hobbies that I do..
 
Yeah I sold all my family's assets off and I've been living in the gym for months...I haven't showered and I don't keep track of the days anymore...

Oh my god I just can't stop though. Once I tried quitting but by the time I was sober for 12 hours I was throwing up, losing control of my bowels...

Last week I ran out of money for my membership, and now I'm workin it off on the corner. I know it sounds bad but it's just a phase...I'll get over it and maybe get back into school or something.
 
Im dreading going out of town next weekend because its going to mean that i wont go to the gym 2 days in a row, something i haven't done in a long time. So yeah i guess i am addicted
 
im way not addicted sometimes my workout budy has to trick me into coming into the gym by shaking my favourite treats and banging a spoon on a tin. Once im in people lock the doors so I cant escape.

Nah im just kidding im not addicted I just enjoy workout and training other people.
 
I wouldn't say I am addicted, but I love the fact that I can work out and gain muscle. What discourages me is when I think I haven't made any muscle from the day before.
 
It's a longer process than that. Whenever you think you've "made muscle" or not is all in your head, which is stupid, because you're being motivated by something that is relatively constant. If you worked out well enough on Monday and you're eating right, you're techinically "making muscle" everyday, probably up until next Monday.

So in reality, you're being motivated by eating right and working out hard, rather than waking up, looking in the mirror, and saying, "Hmmm, yes, I see it. I've made more muscle. Therefore, I can workout hard today. I am awesome."
 
way better than being addicted to drugs and alchohol. weight lifting has def. become addicting to me. it's the best stress reliever ever too.
