Well how often do you workout? And another question is how much have you gained since you used to post before? It seems like maybe working out has become the "thing" rather than the way to get to the "thing". Not to sound like a jerk but when you go through all the trouble of making a video of your workout complete with dramatic heavy music it makes it seem like it is all about lifting the weights and being there rather than reaching a goal.

That's ok if it works for you. But if it starts affecting other areas of your life then you could have a problem. Now I am not one to preach about this but if you are a person who works out 5 days a week or something and you've done that for a while then your obsessive thoughts about working out could actually be a symptom of overtraining.

It sounds funny I know but if you do manage to reach a state of overtraining, as hard as that is to do, it can actually cause a sort of depression, disrupting your brain chemcals. Then when your workout it releases endorphins, and voila!, you feel better. So the workout becomes like a drug, both the disease and the cure.

Now I am not trying to armchair diagnose you! It's just something to be aware of. I have noticed that people who workout too often for long periods of time are more obsessed with working out too often. You do the math.

My specific advice is to try not to think about working out but to think about your goals. So that anything that becomes detrimental to reaching those goals, both short term and long term, becomes the enemy, including not allowing your body proper rest. After all, you don't walk accross the desert because you like the heat, but to reach the oasis.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
