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 ?

So I’m not sure how many/if any of you are Christians, but I’m assuming this can still make sense to some of you. This morning has been rough. I’m constantly thinking, “am I saved? Have I never been saved and I’m tricking myself into thinking I am? When I’m listening to Christian music am I doing for the right reasons? Is it too late for me?”. Things I know the truthful answers to but yet I still think these thoughts. I don’t understand why. Why do I constantly think about these “what if”’s? My heart always feels so heavy and I feel as if I need to talk to God right then and there to make it stop and go away. But then am I talking to the Lord for the wrong reasons? And the cycle repeats. Thankfully, day one of my therapy is tonight and I’m hoping to find at least a little clarity on this stuff. I’ve had OCD for 7 years and I don’t even know how it works. Any advice?

Hi! I’m new to the NOCD community, but I’ve been dealing with OCD since I was 12. I’m almost 29 now, and my biggest issue is health anxiety. It’s gotten to the point where getting work done is nearly impossible because i can’t stop spiraling. I’m lucky that i work remotely, but also makes it easier to be in my own head… Asking for advice - how do you all deal with the intense anxiety and are able to make it through a 9-5 work day? Any suggestions on how I can actually be productive? Thank you!
