I appreciate you:) but I was lookin more into doing gym cardio type stuff . Any suggestions on how I can start ? I just really need to lose 20 pounds ;( it’s been on my list for a while now and I want something nice for me
Yoga ? I’m trying to lose weight 🤷🏾♂️but thanks
There’s fit yoga!! There are many different types. Yoga can be used for weight loss😊
@linds💕 One time I went to a fit yoga class and it was only an hour…I have NEVER sweat that much in my life. I was literally DRIPPING sweat
I would say the best thing to start out and not over whelm yourself is the 12-3-30. Treadmill at an incline of 12, speed 3, for atleast 30 minutes. The incline really helps to burn fat but the speed is not too overwhelming! Also great if you want to read/watch something while you work out.
The workout is really good for the evening, and especially if your intrusive thoughts get worse at night working out can really help to ease the mind. I usually eat after the workout just so I’m not bloated while walking/running. I also feel that working out makes me less likely to binge eat a lot of food, so I usually have a light heathy meal and a protein shake! I’m not an expert, but this has just been my experience
I eat it after because it makes me bloated/my stomach feel full when I work out which is uncomfortable for me but it’s common to do it either way. I’m personally vegan so my food choices may be different from yours, but I try to have a carb like rice in small portion and then have sautéed tofu (or your meat of choice) with a salad and veggie on the side after I work out.
Try out yoga!! There’s many different types!
Thank you so much!
Is it good to exercise in the evening ? Let’s say I’d had all 3 meals and decide to go to gym afterwards is it ok to keep that same routine ? I’m jus not wanting to mess any of my progress and want to maintain losing weight instead of gaining if I’m just gonna eat after a workout. Does that make sense ? So I’m hoping to go 4 days if not then maybe even 5 depending on how busy my schedule can get . Also, I’m not sure what meals to eat to actually lose weight , any suggestions ? My life has been so hard with ocd , not being able to do much around bc of it , but I am hoping I could do this as a coping mechanism .
I get where you’re coming from . But I just don’t want to eat after working out tho and I’m sure if I do, it’ll probably just be low calorie snacks or veggies . But I’m having trouble figuring out what foods to use for when I start . Also do you eat the protein shake after or before working out ?
hey guys, anyone with eating disorders or body dysmorphia? ive had certain habits for a long, long time but ive started seeing them through a different light now. i usually try and starve myself to stay unbloated and skinny looking, and usually after a while i get so hungry that i binge eat. after the binge is over, i either drink excessive amounts of coffee (to work like laxatives) or i starve for days on end to “make up” for it. in all honesty, i would just throw up if it wasnt for a surreal fear of vomiting (only way emetophobia has been good for me ever) about half of the time i feel good about my looks, weight, body, face and all that, but the rest of the time i feel like i look disgusting, and thats where the starving comes in, and excessive grooming habits to cover my flaws. all of this was way worse a couple of years ago, and then it got way better, but along with all of this ocd this has gotten worse again. i feel like the way the “eating disorder” habits and the “body dysmorphia” plays out kind of look like an ocd cycle (sorry for self diagnosing, i dont know if i actually have these) another thing that i know for sure is very unhealthy is the amount of shame and embarrassment i have towards my body. i feel i “have” to do so many things to cover up, prevent or get ready for certain events or plans. overall, any time i need to be proper or any bodypart of mine has a role in something, i get so stressed to the point of panic attacks. i nearly had a burnout when i was seeing this guy for two months (my first time dating someone) from just sheer stress. before meeting up with him i would panic for hours, and still would while being with him. i barely got to enjoy the good times.
Content note: disordered eating Seeking advice I've gained some weight during the lockdown and it's causing me considerable distress. Food and weight are on my mind all the time and I've started obsessively counting calories and weighing myself. I know this is a really dangerous slope but don't really know how to deal with this theme. I'm really distressed about how out of control I am of my own body. Any advice on stopping this in its tracks would be greatly appreciated ?
More people that obsess over there boy figure? I feel like I’m gaining weight and I’m really fat and I can’t stop thinking about it I really want to lose weight and I do everything I can about it, I eat about 1400 calories per day, do fitness 3 times a week, walk 2 times a week half an hour. But I don’t lose weight, well I feel like I don’t lose weight and feel like I’m only gaining fat.
