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
It started when I became an adult, and started receiving my mental health diagnosis. I hyper fixated on each and every action I did and how it could be related to my diagnosis’s. It then lead to fixation to my physical health — making appointments and seeing every specialist I can to rule out every possibility. I currently have been suffering with obstructive sleep. I woke up the past few days with severe pain from the lack of sleep whilst believing I was oversleeping. Luckily my fit watch tracks my sleep cycle and it turns out I am not receiving any sleep. I had an extreme panic attack — bursting into tears on the phone with my mom wondering what this case might be. She told me it could be sleep apnea and that a simple sleep study could figure this out. However, knowing my family history I made appointments to every specialist I can to make sure it is nothing serious. The unknown of health can be scary to me. Watching my mother suffer with her physical health chronically since I was a child lead me to be very conscious and aware of how my body is functioning. This morning was one of the worst moments of physical pain. I should just take one step at a time with the sleep doctor instead of taking measures to see every specialist that could pertain with this issue. However, that is very hard to me. I don’t want to ever wake up in the pain I was this morning. Does anyone else suffer with health-related OCD? And if so, how do you find a sense of ease during moments like I expressed?
I'm having awful stomach pain and nausea and it's really worrying me and scaring me
Does anyone Else’s ocd flare up bad when in stressful life situations? I was doing amazing and now that I’m having some drama with my life it seems to have come back with a vengeance. Anyone else?
