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.

Vyvanse is an ADHD drug, but also is prescribed and approved as a weight loss drug, too. I lost a bunch of weight on it.

Just make sure you drink lots of water. It also suppresses your thirst response in your brain, so you can get dehydrated easily.

I eat less during the day, but will stuff my face in the evening when it has worn off.

Yeah I've had late night cravings with it. Usually mine wears off around bed time, though, so I just go to sleep. Lol
