Thanks for reminding me, I should eat something today before I crash for the night.
Yo what the fuck, stop telling on me
Happy the One Meal to you too, although mine is picked at all through the night
I didn’t know this was an ADD thing
But this is so me
Happened today for the first time in a while. I was too busy with other stuff and then realized around 6pm that I was really hungry and oh I hadn’t ate yet today.
And a pleasant The One Meal to you too.
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’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)
OMAD is a common fasting method by more than just ADHD people.
True… but it’s not really intentional or desired for some of us. Like, I WANT to put on weight (especially fat), but unless I set timers or am incredibly conscious that I need to eat, time just zips by, and I end up eating as described in the post. When I super focus on it (meal prep, shakes, etc), it starts to become a major point of anxiety in my life, and my relationship with food starts to get kind of toxic. I’m alive, healthy, and all that, but this kind of thing is very different than intentional fasting or dieting.
Right you have an eating disorder
Is fine
Many do
You’re entirely wrong about that, and I think that’s the entire point of this post. Eating does not repulse or disgust me. I have zero anxiety that xyz food is going to make me gain/lose weight. The idea here is that our brains absolutely do not easily create a routine around food. Let’s say it’s 10am and I’m starting to get hungry- I’ll tell myself “okay, lunch in the next hour or two!” I briefly go back to whatever I was doing, look at the clock again, and it’s 6pm.
Yeah more eating disorder than adhd
I feel called out…
News to me that we all do this.
Ouch. Do love that one meal tho
Yum, snakemeal. Mine is pasta tonight
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 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.
