I made what was objectively a tasty dinner and I managed about 2 bites before I just couldn’t eat anything else. Guess I’ll go back to a later than normal dinner time.

Vyvanse, since I know somebody will ask. Wonderful for focus, but hell on an appetite.

      wishful thinking… They make me piss in a cup and get weighed every time I go into my Dr’s office and the needle only goes one way and never the way I want it to go.

      Dude. I definitely skinnied up before and I guarantee it’ll happen again. I mean, I could use a little less though. So - win win I guess.

      Well, yes! But actually no.

      It doesn’t make it so you don’t have to eat; it makes it so you don’t feel hungry.

      But that’s like the difference between being impervious to damage and not feeling pain.

      You’re still physiologically dragged down by the damage, even if it isn’t registering as a “feeling”.

      Your ADHD body (if it’s like mine) basically has a warning light flashing all the time, saying HUNGRY SLEEPY GONNA PASS OUT IF NOT EATING HUNGRY inside your brain, even when you’re not THAT hungry, because your brain is desperate for things to do to keep itself awake. And you may think, “well okay, turn off the broken warning light”, but that doesn’t fix that you need proper nutrition, and that you no longer feel an urgent need to eat properly, since the warning light is gone.

      You actually have to be more vigilant in a lot of ways. To make sure you don’t hurt yourself or end up nutrient deficient or something—again personally I’m literally grappling with having too little Potassium in my diet presently, I have to be very aware of what I eat.
