Have you thought about actually taking up cycling?Its too early to call it a crisis but it's a crisis. So far for Feb I've cycled less than 25 miles. My motivation to ride has gone and my appetite has increased.
My plan was to get down to 14.4 stone by April to really smash my climbing times but I'm just getting heavier. I compete in the 200lb+ range so obviously being bang on 200lb is ideal.
I'm not sure what's happened. Maybe I've been to intensive, maybe its along the lines of 'what goes up must come down', having been riding on a successful high for so long.
I give 100% at whatever I do, dropping weight, training etc has never been a problem. This is the first time in my life I've struggled with food, it feels like a need to gorge. Huge Sunday roasts, eating sharing platters for desert, without sharing. Domino's, KFC, McDonald's, just as much crap as I can eat.
Who am I? What am I? I read an article on Rhonda rousey how she felt suicidal after her first big loss to holly holm, obviously my situation is not that extreme however this is the intense pressure you put yourself under to be great and sometimes it is hard to deal with any little kink in the chain.

Watch the 2nd film on my post for that info
It worries me you know of stories like that.
In fairness to blazed it's the first time he's shown us any numbers. I'm just baffled at what the numbers are.

Not the numbers we've been asking for, unfortunately...

Why the bitching at somebody who's asking for help?
Blazed, maybe see your GP, could be depression, could be a result of overtraining. At least you're self aware. I'd say make sure you don't leave it too long between meals, don't wait till you're really hungry. Use healthy snacks between meals, and make sure you drink plenty of water. A glass of water at least ten minutes before a meal can help to avoid overeating.
Often dehydration can lead us to eat too much, and can cause fatigue too. If you think you might be dehydrated then you may need more than just water.

Have you not read any of his other threads?
Re the depression thing - it's quite possible that Blazed could be mentally ill - it would certainly explain a lot of his posts. It would also mean a bit of a re-think in terms of how we respond to him on here.
