The things that get in the way for me are: getting instantly bored with any weight loss strategy, an inability to do things if I’m told I have to, forgetting that I need to lose weight, needing the sensory input of food, inability to recognise when I’m full, hyper-focusing on weight loss for a month and losing a ton of weight and then putting it all back on the next month because I celebrated the weight loss with cake…
I just wonder if there are any ADHD behaviour hacks where I could use my neurospicyness to actually help me lose weight consistently.
Skipping meals might be my next approach. I ate when I was hungry as a kid and teen when not hungry and the transition to a job in a chair and scheduled meals seems to be the biggest contributor to consuming excessive calories.
Going to (generally) one meal a day had me drop weight like crazy. And you can eat pretty much whatever you want when you’re only eating once per day. You get used to fasting fast especially if you’re medicated for ADHD.
