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

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

Flare ups when stressed.

Contamination/health OCD struggles
Recently, I’ve been struggling a ton with what I eat/put into my body? I’m a first year college student with a few different health issues (including IBS), and lately it’s been hard for me to find food on campus that doesn’t upset my stomach. I also have pretty severe emetophobia, and feel extremely anxious when I feel sick. The ironic thing is that being anxious makes me feel even worse, so I end up sticking myself in an impossible loophole. My OCD has taken hold of these fears over the past few months, and it’s been such a struggle. Especially since people have been getting food poisoning from various dining halls on my campus lately. My OCD has gotten so bad that sometimes I’m too afraid to eat food other than what I buy myself. I feel so trapped. I don’t want my OCD to affect my physical health or prevent me from eating, bc I love eating!! It’s the fear of getting sick that’s the problem. And it’s even harder when everything is so unfamiliar. Just wondering if anyone could relate. Advice is appreciated!

Eating and ocd
Does any one else struggle with eating when on a ocd spiral ( that’s what I call them ) I go through periods where I can’t stand the feeling of food in my body but idk I smoke weed and that helps the thought to go purge everything I don’t know if that’s my ocd or a eating disorder 🫠
