My entire life I’ve struggled with food and my weight.

As a child, I had health problems and was very underweight. Then as a teen, as my health problems straightened out, I began to put on weight - quickly. Now at 20 years old, I’m obese.

I’ve never had the healthiest of eating habits, just because of the way I was raised. My family practically lived on junk food. Now I’m trying to live a little healthier but I’m struggling a bit.

Recently, I’ve really started to get into exercise. I love yoga and walking/running. It’s great to clear my mind and makes me feel great, almost unstoppable! But I’m starting to wonder if there can be too much of a good thing....

I workout at minimum one hour everyday. If I’m busy and don’t have time to, I get really anxious, sometimes almost angry. And if I eat a little too unhealthy I *have* to workout that day, if I don’t, I get really stressed out, then I workout even more the next day. Even if all I can do is run or pace back and forth in my house for an hour or two, anything to burn some calories.

I’m still obese at 270lbs. I don’t purposely starve myself or anything like that. But sometimes I wonder if I’m taking the exercise thing a little too far... Just because of the feeling of control I get from it. And the amount of control it has over me every time I miss a workout and get anxious. I don’t want to stop exercising, I truly do enjoy it. But I’m starting to worry I could be taking it too far. Should I be concerned?
