I'm always scared of getting overweight...?

Hello
I'm not certain yet if this is OCD/anxiety related but it would make sense so I really am sorry if I've posted this in the wrong forum.

For quite a while now I've been terrified of getting fat. I don't exactly stop eating certain things, I just have these massive mental debates with myself beforehand, like "But what if you get fat if you eat that Pot Noodle you ate a Pot Noodle a few weeks ago you don't need another one what if you get addicted to unhealthy, calorie-filled foods like that and end up fat".
And so then I have to ask my parents or my friends or whoever's around "I'm not going to get fat if I eat this, am I?" or "It's okay if I eat this, isn't it?" And then once I've eaten said food, I have to go for a walk down to the shops or something, even if it's only a trip down to the corner shop and back, just to reassure myself that I've had at least a little bit of exercise that day. But even then I can't really stop worrying about it.

If I want a day to relax in my pyjamas or just stay inside all day, the same thing happens; "You're going to end up as this fat recluse who just stays inside all day and everybody will find you disgusting and judge you".

I can't touch overweight people or follow them in to a class or whatever at school, and if I do touch them I have to wash my hands or wipe them across something else to feel better again...it makes me feel like a terrible person for doing that because it's not in any way bad to be overweight, but I still have to do it.

hi there.

that's a tricky question. they could be ocd, anxiety or just obsession. or could be anything else

your statement 'i am always scared of getting overweight' is really common even with someone who doesn't have OCD. most of the girls afraid of getting overweight

but when you said

i can say this is happening to my friend (in this forum) and she has OCD. sort of.

i think it's definitely worth going to see psych, ask them and seek their help

i hope things work out for you
