Default Is There Such A Thing As Exercisorexia?

So yesterday I was reading something (can't remember where), where someone was positing that counting calories is a kind of eating disorder. I had never though of it that way before, but come to think of it, it sounds true. No other species counts calories or obsesses about calories. Their bodies just regulate their appetite and weight naturally without them thinking about it.

The first thing that came to mind was my sister who has always counted calories. And I think she kind of fit the bill.

And then I got to remembering how utterly obsessive she is about exercising. It's practically a religion for her. It's a much bigger deal for her than even the calorie counting. Is it possible that over-exercise is also a kind of disorder similar to anorexia?

(And come to think of it...twice in my past life I think I've been unhealthily obsessive about exercise. At one point I was going to the gym twice a day. Ugh.)
