"Fitness Tracker Obsession: From Exercise Addiction to Hospitalization"

TL;DR Summary
A 25-year-old woman's obsession with tracking exercise and calories on her fitness watch led to hospitalization twice, with heart issues and anorexia. She developed an all-consuming need to hit the gym, canceling plans and restricting her diet. Diagnosed with bradycardia, she sought help and checked into an eating disorder clinic. After six months of treatment, she learned to retrain her brain, gained weight, and now focuses on feeling better rather than losing calories.
