It’s more about listening to the signals in your body and getting to the root of what it’s looking for, then acting accordingly based off of that. If I’m hungry, my impulse might be to eat a whole bag of hot Cheetos, but I know cooking a meal will satisfy me more and give me more nutrients so I do that instead.

I get what you’re saying here but also part of dealing with adhd is learning how to spot those signals so you can listen to your body. And that might mean every 4-5 hours or so asking yourself if you’re maybe hungry and starting to feel like it’s a good idea to eat something instead of waiting for the hunger signal that’s not gonna come until you’re starving. It means noticing when you’re getting under stimulated so you can decide to get a fidget toy before you start mindless snacking

i wonder if the people who relate to this most are more on the hyperactive side than the inattentive side 🤔 my bets would be on hyperactive

See the problem with that is most of the time by time I end up cooking the food. The sight and smell of the food makes me sick and I end up puking and not wanting to eat at all. So my body just tells me shit and then the second I do what it tells me to it fucks me over so 🫠🫠
