I'm too food motivated for this

[–] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 14 points 6 days ago

Being food motivated is exactly why I do this sometimes... Everything tastes better when you're hungry, and you can eat more of it

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

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...

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.

[–] r1ch134dl3r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago

That could lead to undesired association with Indigo children...

I eat enough to not feel hungry long enough to fall asleep

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 15 points 6 days ago

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 didn’t know this was an ADD thing

But this is so me

[–] Free_Opinions@feddit.uk 16 points 6 days ago

I don't even have a diagnosis. I'm here just for these relateable memes.

[–] Naia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] BitchPeas@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

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.

OMAD is a common fasting method by more than just ADHD people.

[–] Vibi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 6 days ago (11 children)

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.

[–] save_the_humans@leminal.space 4 points 6 days ago

Food feels great when shared communally. Pretty sure it's hard for a lot of people to eat because we've sort of lost that as a society.

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)

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 days ago

Thanks for reminding me, I should eat something today before I crash for the night.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 5 days ago

DAE rotate between The One Meal and I Am a Grazing Gazelle? Some days I just have the one big meal and nothing else; other days I just eat crackers and fruit and cheese all day.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago

Yeah, that is not how I roll: All day graze with possible actual meals, possibly even at normal times that people eat!

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

One Meal to rule them all, One Meal to find them, One Meal to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them

[–] twinnie@feddit.uk 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 7 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Let me tell you about breakfast shakes...

[–] quinceyBones@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Let me tell you about breakfast shake shits.

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

[–] Batmancer@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

That sounds amazing. I wish I had that appetite in the morning.

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 7 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 8 points 6 days ago

Yum, snakemeal. Mine is pasta tonight

[–] fakir@lemm.ee 6 points 6 days ago

Yo what the fuck, stop telling on me

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Happy the One Meal to you too, although mine is picked at all through the night

Many ADHD meds have a appetite suppression side effect, which sometimes tapers off. Sometimes not so much.

[–] kitnaht@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I only do it because I grew up poor and was forced to eat everything put on my plate, because to waste it was basically a sin greater than murder. As you can imagine, that's a trait that doesn't work well as an adult, and it's incredibly hard to break.

And a pleasant The One Meal to you too.

[–] Tarkcanis@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I feel called out...
