It depends: Anorexia athletica, (sports anorexia) or hypergymnasia is an eating disorder characterized by excessive and compulsive exercise.An athlete tends to over exercise to give themselves a sense of having control over their body.2 questions for you are do you have obsessive behavior with calories, fat, and weight & is your Self-worth is based on physical performance.If so you should see a Psychologist.
