Good morning fellow MFPs
I have ADHD and impulse control is horrible as is self regulation. I have struggled with weight since high school. Now I weigh as much as I did when I had my son 4 years ago without a large 10 baby in my belly. UGH! I have about 100lbs to lose.
I have lost weight using WW and I have lost some previously using MFP. My motivation wanes when it is no longer novel or fun. I have recently taken a course in mindful eating and learned more information about mindfulness on a podcast.
Any one struggle with the same issues? I know it is a common issue with people with ADHD but many people do not make the connection. You can message me to "friend" me and we can support on another.
