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.
Another idea worth considering is taking up a martial art. It’s both energetic and interesting. I often use the patterns as “kinetic meditation”. It plays well with ADHD, unlike normal meditation. It also works well as a nice distraction from the “I’m hungry” mind state.
Food wise, focus on improving your nutrition, and add in more non calorie dense foods. It reduces the drive to overeat, and keeps you feeling full, with less calories. Losing weight by simple calorie restriction is notoriously reliant on will power. Something we notoriously lack. Trying to road on that front is asking for a loss.
