Scenario

When fitness partnerships become feeding grounds for eating disorder behaviors

My workout partner and I started exercising together to get healthy, but I can feel myself sliding into compulsive exercise patterns and she keeps pushing us to do more intense workouts and track everything we eat. I'm scared that telling her about my concerns will mean losing our friendship, but I also know this dynamic is becoming unhealthy for me.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared goals can mask individual descent into compulsion when wellness becomes weaponized.
