I can’t be the only one who eats an entire loaf of cinnamon raisin bread the moment I wake up, then isn’t hungry the rest of the day
That sounds amazing. I wish I had that appetite in the morning.
One Meal to rule them all, One Meal to find them, One Meal to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them
Yum, snakemeal. Mine is pasta tonight
We call it “The Big Eat” here in my household.
I showed my sister and she said “SNAKE MEAL‼️”
That’s fantastic! Might have to integrate that one into the local vernacular.
I would love to go back to that and be a healthy weight again, but being forced to eat at scheduled times due to pressure from family and social scheduling means I end up eating too much over the course of the day even if I’m not hungry.
Hope you’ll eventually be able to stop caring about pressure from family and social scheduling. I wish you well.
My recommendation is to eat just a little at the “scheduled” times, and and eat your main meal when your hungry.
The biggest problem with obesity is when we override our hunger signals. Then things get real bad real quick.
Yeah so my kid does this.
He ate a full ass portion of sweet and sour chicken rice and vegetables. And a brownie. And a cheesey roll up. And drank all the chocolate milk we had.
The kid is as thin as I was at his age, the biggest difference is that he has two parents that also both have ADHD so they get it, and also get that getting that food eaten is what’s most important.
I’m in this photo and I don’t like it.
Or the old deciding I need to eat, getting up and going to the kitchen, seeing a chore that needs done to unlock the ability to eat certain foods, like I want ramen but my pots are on the drying rack, then realizing after I had been sitting down again for an hour that I just put away everything on the drying rack and forgot to cook and eat the ramen.
Then get up, go to the kitchen, and notice that the plants need to be watered…
For breakfast I can get a whole socially acceptable meal by pouring milk over cereal, and then I can wash up by running it under a tap. I’m not missing an opportunity like that.
Let me tell you about breakfast shakes…
Ok so not kidding I just started doing these since my doctor got concerned about the weight I was losing, and holy fucking shit they are AWESOME.
Cookies and Cream, Cookie Dough, Chocolate, Cinnamon Roll… I wish I knew about these decades ago
Dark Chocolate Atkins are my jam.
Let me tell you about breakfast shake shits.
I have not experienced those but they do not sound fun.
See, for me hunger is an all consuming distraction. There have been very few times I get so hyper focused I forget to eat.
Medication helps, but I still get hungry and crave chocolate.
Try smoking/vaping weed every day. Eventually you get your tolerance to the point where the anti-munchies kick in, i.e. you won’t be able to eat if you don’t smoke. Great for weight loss.
Unfortunately you won’t be able to sleep, either, but that’s why you simply partake shortly before bed and then fall asleep before you get hungry.
Lol every day. Not the best plan. Also munchies always hit when I was a daily use addict for over 15 years. Be careful with mind altering substances.
Same, never understood this side of ADHD. Meal time is the only time I don’t deal with dysregulation lmao
Yeah, that is not how I roll: All day graze with possible actual meals, possibly even at normal times that people eat!
Oh stop with the relatable memes, I can’t afford to get tested.
If all you need is to see if you likely have it (without an official diagnosis), you can search for ASRSv1.1. Answer the questions brutally truthfully. Again, it’s not a diagnosis, but it’ll tell you if you likely have it.
I’m too food motivated for this
Being food motivated is exactly why I do this sometimes… Everything tastes better when you’re hungry, and you can eat more of it
That’s it… I sent my general practitioner a message to get tested for adhd and autism. It’s gonna be fun to find out where on the spectrum I land
I like to say we’re part of indigo - it’s a color that’s underrated, overshadowed by more “standard” colors, and often misunderstood or misidentified.
Also, once you get an eye for identifying indigo, you start to spot it more easily. Just as learning more about one’s own autism can lead to one recognizing traits in their family or friends.
That could lead to undesired association with Indigo children…
I’ll have you know I had some cereal for lunch, so its two meals today.
(Fuck me I really need to get my official diagnosis - I’m waiting for an appt)
