Hi,
I have been doing strict cardio for almost two years now and it has turned into a obsession. I feel bad an depressed when I take one day off and tend to blow off my friends and dates just so I don't miss working out. My question is this, if I quit cardio in all forms for a little while (2-3 weeks)just to get my life back do you think it is possiable not to gain weight if I kept my calorie limit at 1200 or close? I am 5'6 125lbs and 18% body fat. 24 yrs old.

THANKS!!!
