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 everyone 👋🏻 This is less of an ROCD post but I urgently need advice because i feel like i can't think straight. My bf and I are together for almost 3 years. Ive gained over 10kg over the last six months which led to him kind of commenting on my relationship with food. I always struggled with my weight and he knows. I also know that I eat very unhealthy and a lot but I have been having difficulties with my eating disorder in the last couple of months and its just not easy to snap out of it. Yesterday I showed him pants that I would like to buy myself and he said that my bum would be a little too much in those pants. It hurt me a lot and I immediately told him why he would say something like that and he just said that he didn't try to be mean and it just came out like that and he knows that it was wrong, so he apologised. But i couldn't let go of it because we've had another discussion like this over 2 months ago and he promised me to stop commenting on my body and my eating disorder. It just makes me feel like he generally prefers skinny women. So i asked him, i asked him if he prefers skinny women and he said that he would prefer if i would lose a few pounds. My heart shattered in that moment and I don't know what to do and how to deal with it. We've talked about it last night and he understands that he's in the wrong but i don't know how to cope and what to do. Please give me some advice

I know this isn’t directly ocd related but I feel like it’s got to be a shared experience between a lot of us. When I ask in fitness groups no one seems to have anything to offer. Anywhooo I started celexa in October I believe? In January I started going hard in the gym and tracking my macros to a tee. In the past I have done this and got really fit and muscular. This time around the progress has been going at a snails pace. I almost feel like progress has even haulted and hasn’t even been that long. Anyway I really think I have a good amount of knowledge on this stuff and mostly want to know if anyone has had this experience after taking celexa? I can’t think of another factor that it could be. I would almost like to get off of it because of it. I hate to sound vain but with the extra weight I feel depressed and uncomfortable. I’m putting in soooo much work and seeing the results but like I said it’s going ridiculously slow. Any advice for this kind of thing? Thank you :)

I’m trying to get in with therapy right now, but I’m most concerned on having issues with not eating. Intrusive thoughts and anxiety make me nauseous and distracted from eating. It took me an hour last night to eat instant ramen. Does anyone know what I could do about this? I’m only eating around 1 meal a day and I’m afraid of how this could affect me medically.
