• It’s very difficult to get through your entire routine.
• You’re always in pain, sore, sluggish or fatigued.
• You’re having strong cravings for certain foods or binge eating.
• You’re noticing changes in your emotional health, including feeling irritable, depressed or moody.
• You’re not seeing the results you expect.
• You’re frequently hurt.
• You’re choosing exercise over other important things, such as social events or sleep.
