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.

    I know. I’m saying I’m weird and have never had side effects from any medication whatsoever. I WISH I personally had that particular side effect from ADHD medication, but alas, I do not. Sucks that people who are already underweight get it and I do not.

      Hey, just be happy that your meds are not out to kill you. I once had pills (non ADHD) that made my heart stop. 0/10, can’t recommend. Luckily, my heart recovered, and I got some different pill instead.

        Oh yeah, I’m only pissy about this one side effect being missing. In general, I’m happy not to have side effects lol
