19. ADHD: Weight & Eating (Part 1)

Your ADHD Besties

Hi bestie babessss! In today's episode:
• Grace can’t buy steak, we talk about we need to take a break from acrylics, and how this is hard for our dermatillomania (skin picking).

• Divergent Dilemma #1 - we answer Jemima's question about ADHD and eating, she struggles with binge eating and feeling self-conscious about her weight. We discuss weight stigma, separating self worth and weight, weight-science -using more clear measures of health. We also touch on restriction mentality and how this can so easily lead to binge eating in women with ADHD.
IREGGY SEGGY:
• We are still riding the high of reading ADHD reddit threads.
We have dogs laughing at us, accidental DIY/accents, arms in bins and most importantly we ask the question: how many days is too many days to eat an errant hand bag donut?
RECOMMENDATIONS:
• Tara recommends hair skin and nail gummies to keep those nails strong and less likely to be picked at
• Grace recommends a supermarket shopping hack for ADHD brains that even the most inattentive brains won’t ‘rump’.
We will be back in those stunning👂's next THURSDAY
LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE
Tara & Grace xx
