I dread rest days, but my legs, particularly my quads, are hurting so much that I can't cycle anymore. I feel it would be counterproductive if I went on the bike again today and tried to muscle some light workouts. It seems wiser to take a day's rest and continue to work out after today.
Right now, I am just worried that one rest day would turn to two, then two would turn to three, and so on and so forth. I feel so guilty when I take a day off, I am already so fat, why do I deserve a day off?
I feel like to balance it, I might have to skip more meals and eat less, but that would raise some eyebrows, wouldn't it. My mother has already been telling my psychiatrist that I have been skipping meals, and my clinical psychologist is worried that the path I am treading seems bleak and dire. I think she was genuinely worried, she shared stories of her patients with anorexia nervosa, an illness I know I will never have.
Maybe my life would be fine without exercise for one day, but I don't know, we'll see.
