i have a fear of getting fat. is this considered OCD?

[BlahBlahYouToo]

i'm a lean guy, 5'10" 175 lbs lean, mostly muscle.
i'm nowhere close to being fat.

but i watch what i eat very carefully. no soda or sugary soft drinks, low fat mayo, cheese, etc. i'll eat junk food occasionally but rarely.

i go to the gym as often as conveniently possible, but with my job and working late it's not always feasible.
if i miss a gym day, i feel like total utter crap. i feel like i've wasted an opportuniy to put on muscle, and instead replaced it with fat, as healthy as i ate that day.
i CANNOT go more than a week without going to the gym.

my gf and friends think i'm nuts because i'm so lean but still stressing over my gym and eating habits. is there a name for this mental illness?

Actually it's OCOWD.

People think that's weird becasue you live in America. Elsewhere being healthy is considered a good thing.

 

[StageLeft]

No. When you lose that OCD you become me. I am a sad fvcking sight these days. Your addiction and obsession is a healthy one, keep it burning, baby.

I bet your a buck twenty five soaking wet, and pale because you stay inside playing wow all day. Pics to prove otherwise.

It's called ATOT, everyone here hates fatties (and presumably being fat). Given the large percentage that likely are, it probably explains the general grumpiness.

Sounds more like symptoms of the disease associated with circular metal that's embedded around the 4th finger on the left hand.

You do sound a bit obsessed, beyond just being healthy.

Also low fat cheese? Dude, have some self-respect. The 40 calories you save are not worth the price you pay in giving up flavour. I once brought some lactose and fat free cheese and it was the most disgusting "cheese" I'd ever had.

you're not OCD, you're just a woman. women always think they're getting fat.

Not a problem at all man. I dread my one "rest day" each week and it makes me feel like a slob. I workout every day except one, often twice a day and I don't think I have an addiction.

Just keep eating healthy and don't forget to treat yourself once in a while. It's not going to hurt you at all.

QFT. go to whole foods or a local cheese shop, get about 3 different kinds (soft, hard, medium, cow, goat, sheep, etc), some nice honey, a good baguette and you're never going to eat low fat cheese again.

ugh. low fat cheese :barf:

7 days without exercise makes one weak.

this.

i feel the same way, OP. I work out about twice or three times a week. if i miss a day i feel terrible, and if i eat bacon i feel really guilty too. i think my biggest downfall though is beer. right now i exercise enough to not get a beer gut, but if i cut out the beer i could probably get into serious shape.

 

[RyanPaulShaffer]

I was just thinking about how epic your last "fatties" thread was.

And then...you posted this! :laugh:

:thumbsup:

i get light beer, and i still think about all those empty calories that i'm ingesting.
friend's bday, i ate cake and felt guilty.

OP - Not meant in jest at all. If you truly are concerned that your behaviors are obsessive you might want to research Bigorexia. This can be caused by a low self image, similar to Anorexia. Eating healthy isn't necessarily bad, but taken to an extreme it could be signs of serious psychological issues.

hmmm...

* Constantly examine themselves in a mirror (sometimes)
* Frequently compare themselves with others (often)
* Hate their reflections (not really)
* Become distressed if they miss a workout session or one of their many meals a day (very)
* Become distressed if they do not receive enough protein per day in their diet (very)
* Take potentially dangerous anabolic steroids (nope)
* Neglect jobs, relationships, or family because of excessive exercising (once in awhile)
* Have delusions of being underweight or below average in musculature. (slightly)
* In extreme cases, inject appendages with fluid (e.g. synthol) (never)

i used to be very skinny. then i put on 35 pounds of muscle. i could stop now because my body looks pretty decent (except missing the 6 pack), but i feel like getting bigger.

and i don't play wow, but i do play a bit of dota and ps3.

Based on this and some of your other fatty threads you might seriously want to consider at least speaking with a psychologist... make sure its a head shrinker though and not one of those drug peddling swindlers whose sole purpose in life is to supply the drug companies with millions of zombies hooked on "feel good drugs"... psychiatrists are such BS.
