Does anyone else get intrusive thoughts about there being poison in their food? Even if I make something at home I get scared one of the ingredients was poisoned at the grocery store or that I didn't cook the meat properly. If fast food tastes different I get scared of there being poison or that it will hurt me. Last night I made homemade chicken noodle soup and I started getting panic attack symptoms right after eating it because I was scared. Does anyone else struggle with this?

No, I don't suffer from those kinds of thoughts. You're going to have to have a talk with your OCD. When you have these thought, just think of how it's just your OCD trying to ruin your day. There's nothing wrong with your chicken soup. Enjoy it. In my Dad's words, too OCD to take a powder.

That was tell OCD to take a powder. I would say tell it to fuck off.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
