Exercising was a way to cope

“I learned that I have a tendency to justify my exercising as ‘fun’ when I begin to feel stressed, scared, anxious, or uncomfortable and use it as a way to cope rather than confronting my insecurities and what's happening on the deeper side of the Y chart. Over-exercising has been my biggest struggle but I feel that I am starting to develop a healthier relationship with it.” – KU, Gainesville, FL
