Is it that you enjoy riding? Or is it that you enjoy the bingeing? Or both? Obviously, studies have shown over and over again that exercise is good for you, and even better if you enjoy it. But, what I’m trying to figure out and I think this may be beneficial to you and your eating disorder ways is, if you feel so good after riding, why do you do something that sabotages your performance after? Wanting to flea your bathroom scale like it was going to eat you alive is obviously not good for you or your mental health. Showing pictures of yourself on the internet is not helping your situation either because people are likely to comment. If those comments are positive or negative you are probably going to analyze them either way. I think you really need to understand why you binge and obsess about your weight and maybe that will take some pressure off the bike and you will enjoy riding even more. I wish you well on your journey.

there’s a book that I just read that your blog reminds me of. It’s called "In Memory of Running" by Ron McLarty. It’s about a guy on a bike who loses weight. It doesn’t go in depth about biking or weight; its more about his personal journey on a bike.

I just looked at your picture. No offense my man, but your problem isn’t just fat – it’s an absence of muscle. You’ve let your upper body go to hell. And, you probably have the metabolism of a sloth when you’re not on your bike. Cycling will only get you so far (pun intended) – you’ll need to hit the weights if you want to drop your body fat below 10%.

Dude,You are the best. Just to help you with your perspective, I wiegh in at a monstrous 230 pounds, I am 6′4". I have been riding for twenty five years. If I could get back to 190 I would be deliriously happy, and probably delirious too. So, don’t feel bad if you are wavering around 170 or so, it could be much worse.

I am married to a randonneur who does brevets so I really found your little "dialog" with the seasoned randonneur to be hilarious. Good luck to you!

Really fantastic idea. I need to lose around 14lbs. You’ve got me thinking whether l could do something similar. Not bike riding though – sorry. Keep up the good work!

This is the best idea I’ve ever heard. I think you should hire me as the hard ass bald personal trainer who shames your clients into making thier goals.
