Losing Weight with ADHD

Setbacks are a inevitably going to be part of the process, so let's talk about how to handle it. In this episode, I covered:

• Why do setbacks happen (we all deal with them!)
• How they might be different for an ADHDer
• What tends to set off the set back for you?
• How to move through set backs
• How to move forward and move on

I hope this helps to normalize the phase of being in a setback for you!

Have you heard of the "messy middle"? We are talking about what that is, and what it means when it comes to your weight loss journey. 

I know that the middle of the road seems like a foreign place for us with ADHD sometimes - many of us are used to more rigid, black and white thinking! 

In this episode, we talk about what it might mean to be in the messy middle with weight loss, why we often go for the extremes instead but how they might not actually serve us. I hope you enjoy!

Sometimes as an ADHDer, the idea of "keep it simple" is not actually so simple! Today we are discussing this concept, and if/how we can make it work for us in weight loss. 

We cover:

• Is simplicity achievable for us?
• Why our brains might not naturally think in simple terms
• Why it might actually be overwhelming (at first)  to try to keep things basic
• What are some steps to take if you want to simplify the weight loss process for yourself
• All the reasons why you are not a broken person if you can't just keep it simple!

I hope you relate to this idea, and that it brings you some clarity and comfort in the process.

• Why this might be a big factor for you as someone with ADHD

As always, let me know if this resonates!!

• Why I feel like it was a big part of my life at times
• Two different big shifts I made
• Some ideas on how to approach examining your own relationship with alcohol (hint: approach it with NO SHAME!)

I'm covering the idea of whether "eat what you want" is helpful or a hindrance when you are pursuing weight loss as someone with ADHD. This all came about from a comment I saw someone make about this! I covered:

• How the idea of "eat what you want" might make some people feel or approach weight loss
• The messy middle between rigid structure and total freedom
• Is it helpful to just be told what to do?
• What are some guidelines that I have found really helpful
• What concepts I have seen lead to success for others

I hope this episode is really helpful and that it gives you some ideas in creating your own structure!
