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.

For me, hyper fixate on calorie counting and weight tracking plus going to the gym while listening to a book I can't get enough of.

From ~260 to 180 over nearly 3 years.

This is how I do it; my problem, however, tends to be the inverse where I forget to eat.

Oh oh I can tell you my secret to that! Inherit hypoglycemia from your family. The headache will prevent you from forgetting 😂
