I struggle with eating habits too. Remember that eating is what fuels your body to get through your days. I feel like we often lose sight of the fact that we need sustenance to survive! What I have done to lose weight as a 20f is, instead of choosing between healthy and unhealthy, I portion. Indulge in your favorite foods, just don’t eat as much as you can.
Ive never heard of skipping breakfast and lunch to lose weight. Who told you that? Usually its about eating healthy meals and smaller amounts.
You will lose more weight if you eat regular meals - your brain and body need fuel, if you focus on eating breakfast everyday (even if it’s the same thing everyday) you will probably feel much better
Yeah your right i was doing this and it was helping but i just got side tracked
I’ve also been trying to lose weight and I’m currently having a flare up but my appetite is nonexistent because of it. I’m trying to focus on protein and low sugar meals. It definitely has an impact on my anxiety
Wow yeah i can relate allot OCD usually makes my appetite fade away
It was a tragedy i used a while back before ocd but im planning on going back to regular just healthy habits
Its typically called OMAD One Meal A Day
Does anyone have an eating disorder and OCD?
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
Does it happen when you are in the midst of an OCD spike eating becomes very challenging and food doesn’t seem appealing anymore, what can I do to to fix it ?
