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.

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 ?

Hi, I’m new to the app as of today. I’m 20 years old, and wanted to get some stuff off my chest about the types of OCD I’ve been experiencing over the years. I’m not entirely sure how or when my OCD was brought up, but I’ve been a perfectionist for as long as I can remember. Anywhere and everywhere I go, if I see things placed in an order/angle that my brain doesn’t approve of, next thing I know I’m “fixing” it to be in the placement I feel looks better. I’m not aware of why I feel the need to do that, but until an object is in the “right” placement, I won’t take my eyes off of it. My eye will even twitch. Another form of OCD I have is in relationships. I spend each day overthinking and over-analyzing every one of the relationships that are important to me. Friends, family, significant other. Another one is what’s considered “Pure OCD” . When I get an intrusive thought of something devilish, whether it’s randomly seeing my great aunt naked bc my grandma considers her “fat” even though she’s not, or it’s seeing something demonic and traumatizing, I immediately tell myself, “I don’t wanna see/think about that” over and over and over until the thought is gone. Or I’ll try to replace one mental image with another. One other form of OCD I face every day, is religion. I got baptized for the first time in my life earlier this year in January. I had finally started to repent for my sins, and now I’m constantly feeling afraid that I’m letting God down due to my depression/lack of motivation and vaping/smoking. I also fear excessively that He’ll banish me from His kingdom, or just turn a cold shoulder. I know that what I’ve just typed up is probably all over the place. That is my brain unfortunately. How do you go from being a mentally disorderly and seemingly erratic young woman, to a more well-established, successful woman? I’m all ears!
