ADHD memes

Oh stop with the relatable memes, I can’t afford to get tested.

I'm too food motivated for this

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.

We call it “The Big Eat” here in my household.

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

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.

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.

I didn’t know this was an ADD thing

But this is so me

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

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

That's called OMAD! Just tell people you're doing Intermittent Fasting (of which OMAD is a specific way to do it).

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

I'm in this photo and I don't like it.

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

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.

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)

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...

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

Yum, snakemeal. Mine is pasta tonight

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

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.

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.

Yo what the fuck, stop telling on me

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

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

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.

Over the last few weeks I switched from the one meal to all day grazing Edit: I like the one meal a lot better

And a pleasant The One Meal to you too.

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

I feel called out...

News to me that we all do this.

Ouch. Do love that one meal tho
