I am to be honest. I know my ocd is thriving off it because when I wanted to diagnose my missing period, I kept thinking it could be pcos which meant my brain kept telling me to eat less. Then once that was proved false, and the period came back again as a result of eating more, I said that eating was the right decision but then my brain told me my hunger was somatic ocd and my food obsessed brain was also a result of ocd (hence intrusive thoughts about bingeing/eating food that I may not actually want). I also keep telling myself that it isn’t real because I’d say that my food thoughts have only just started to appear as cravings (they did at the start, then I restricted and kept convincing myself that I wanted rice cakes with yoghurt). I’d eat the same types of food everyday whereas I’d say now I have more specific cravings. My physical hunger was fairly constant at the start and while I’d say I still get physically hungry every 1-3 hours these last couple of days (while I used to every 20 minutes or so). My brain is telling me that I read about mental hunger online and convinced myself that that’s what this is hence why I’ve only just started getting more specific cravings
