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.

my meds stop me from feeling hubger, its not healthy, so i have to force myself to eat my daily nutritional intake. its mostly the protein content thats hard due to the dense nature of it and how long if takes to digest.

go for walks, listen to music, have healthy snacks only. fruit, vegetables, nuts, dried chickpeas with seasoning for crunch. works for me.
