Running made Tyler feel stronger. Tracking his progress seemed healthy. Counting calories started as a simple way to understand what he was eating. But over time, OCD crept in and took over. Soon, every meal had to be measured, every calorie had to be counted, and foods without exact nutrition information became impossible to enjoy. What began as a healthy habit had become another obsession.
In this video, Tyler shares how OCD latched onto his fitness journey, and the moment he realized he was no longer exercising to take care of himself — he was exercising to satisfy OCD. He also opens up about why men don't talk enough about body image and OCD, and why asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
