Alicia Mackey Huber rejected her doctor's offer of medication and committed to four cardio sessions a week instead. She describes the post-workout high as intensely addictive, comparable to drugs, and says skipping exercise leaves her mentally foggy. She wonders if starting earlier might have prevented other addictions.
Weight loss. We've tried all kinds of stuff. What was the thing that worked for you? Hard work. I remember this doctor said, yo, we can do this. We can take this, take that. And I'm like, what if I just put the work in? I try to work out at least four days a week. Sometimes if I don't, I get foggy. I need that morning coffee and get on the cardio to get that blood flowing. To me, it's equivalent to me taking drugs. It's the best feeling ever. Once you really put the work in, it's the most addictive thing that you can ever do in life. I started late. I think if I would have started and had the same energy in motivation that I have, maybe I probably wouldn't have been addicted to anything.
