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.
Maybe martial arts or cross-fit? Afaik, martial arts aren’t as repetitive as usual exercises, and cross-fit is pretty mixed up.
Also, though harder given ADHD itself, as you identified problematic points of your behavior, maybe focus also on changing them?
CrossFit is something that tickles my dopamine and also because it has given me enough general fitness I can take a break and do another activity without feeling like a moron. Which is one reason I didn’t get into activities when I was younger.
I’ve heard that martial arts are also sufficiently dopamine producing, which is good for us.
