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.
I went through something simmilar to your experience and I have to say losing weight makes everything even worse, if its not under medical supervision.I thought I might experience less anxiety, but I have learned that the less I weighed, the worse became my anxiety.What has helped me the most was that I have consulted a nutrition therapist and she gave me advice about how to eat healthy.It is very important to eat regularly and to make sure your calorie intake is sufficient.Cutting down calories makes you hungry and tired and more prone to overeat and then put on weight.I would suggest you consult a nutrition therapist. Good luck🤞
@Kristina Keszeli I kind of have my own eating routine. I felt better when over time I lost so much weight. I still have anxiety about my weight, however I don’t focus on it as much anymore.
@Kristina Keszeli Yes that is true, I’m going to a nutrition therapist in January because now is a hectic month. But I want it to lose weight but also to learn how to eat healthy
@San2 I’ve been to a nutritionist. However I kind of keep my own eating habits. Not perfect, but I do what I can do.
@Matthew L. I want to because I want to learn how to eat healthy and get all my vitamines
@San2 A very good idea. Getting help with this is very healthy.
@Matthew L. Yes true! 😊
omg I have this.....
Hi as someone who is recovered from anorexia, I completely understand how you feel. I used to be overweight and hated my body so I did what you did i at less and less calories each day and was working out like crazy. My ED was stemmed from anxiety and compulsions, I know that now and it really helped me. You also have to understand it can be deadly and ik you’ve probably already heard that but what made me realize I had to change was when I was impatient with liver damage. You finally realize how consumed you’ve been, I couldn’t even eat with breaking down if I couldn’t see the calories. Did I lose weight? Sure but I also almost lost my life, and I did loose my social life with friends and family. I know how hard it is to have these compulsions and feelings but I promise you as someone who felt as if, if I ever gained weight at all I would hate myself it is the best decision I’ve ever made is to change your relationship with working out. It takes time I started by slowing adding on even just one snack a day or a protein shake because that was a huge step for me and then slowly more and once I felt comfortable I stopped counting at all, starting to workout in the right manner by lifting (a normal amount) and cardio because I’m a runner but I was also fueling my body enough. I gained “weight” but that weight was muscle and I was finally starting to see the body I’ve always wanted to see I still lift and run today because it’s became my safe space and a reminder that I got through what I went through it was hard but so so worth it. your not alone!!💗
@Bianca Echeverria Thankyou so much, I’m sorry you had to go through that. My therapist also told me I have to keep the obsession down because if I go to far I can also get anorexia, I know my body will have to lose a lot of fat to be really underweight but if the mindset is wrong it can go downwards very fast. I’m not overweight not even close but I feel like I am and that I keep getting more and more fat. Nobody said it to me so I haven’t got extra fat but I say it to myself and that’s why I believe it. How many times people say I look amazing it will not help my self image
@San2 I can relate. I was overweight. I joined gym and lost 100 lbs, amazingly. I’ve gained some back, and feel like I weight too much. However, I don’t let it bother me anymore, I feel more satisfied.
@Matthew L. Proud of you! That’s a huge achievement 😊
At least you’re making an effort at losing weight. It might not always work. I was very self conscious of my weight, and started going to the gym. I actually lost over 100 lbs. I’ve maintained it, although I still feel I’m heavy.
@Matthew L. Thank you, you’re right I do everything I can and sometimes that’s enough
@San2 Yes, you’ve gotta just do what you do and that’s all, it’s enough.
What do you do about it?
Does anyone struggle with their ocd when it comes to weight and exercise? I feel like I’m getting too obsessed with it and getting in the mindset of having a negative body image
Is there anybody that can offer me advice or tips on how I can lose 20 pounds ? I’m a male and just want to get slim body . I am currently weighing 150 and 5’5 . I don’t like sitting and doing nothing after work especially when I’m just working part time . I wanna do this to build my confidence and have new look experience . I like cardio and intend on only using it for weight loss . I want to go 3-4 days a week and aiming to lose 4-6 pounds a month. Ik that is a pretty accurate time in losing weight over a month . I read online that it is realistically possible to lose 10 pounds a month but ofc I’m gonna start off slow and considering I’m not a very active person I’ll try and at least do the bare minimum I can to meet my goal. I will also want to be at the gym least 2-3 hrs a day . I will do rest days. My ocd wants me to do everything precisely and perfectly so I’m assured that I’m doing it right and don’t mess anything up. Can someone please tell me how I can lose weight?
every once in a while my body image issues flare up & it can get intense. i obsess over the feeling I have in my clothes to check if I’ve gained weight, think of food, and have this perception that everyone sees me in a certain light I don’t want to see. i really can beat myself up with negative self talk. i haven’t realized until today since body image issues are so common that this could be my ocd. i used to engage in highly restrictive behavior when it came to food—I eliminated any white carbs, dairy, meat, etc & would do intermittent fasting. it’s hard not to fall into this obsession. I gained a few pounds over the last couple of months and it makes me feel anxious for the summer. anyone have a similar experience? x
