My stomach was upset probably hungry, so I told myself I was going to scavenge for food. That was 1.5 hours ago and I still haven't moved.

I snack constantly but i do forget to eat when I'm hyper focused on the work. So yeah, reminders are needed 😂

true. I'm struggling with the loss so appetite since I started medication and then also forgeting/ not wanting to eat. Until I find something I really like, yesterday I found a bag of granola I really liked and that's all I ate all day from breakfast- lunch, didn't want to eat anything else!

I have ADHD and I can confirm, I’ve done all three of these.

Eating on medication is So irritating bc the fridge and pantry could be stocked with all my favorite foods and snacks, but everything sounds unappealing. Then an hr later I'm eating a whole sleeve of Oreos when I wanted to eat healthy but I only want sugar bc my body is craving energy bc I don't eat anymore bc everything is gross to me now!
When are we going to get those meal pills from the Jetsons?
