I just followed this group and I love the meal ideas and presentation!

I wonder, do you have a specific nutritional blueprint for your snackables?

I'm on GLP-1 and have ADHD.

The portioned boxes really speak to my brain, but I'm just not sure what constitutes a good meal that doesn't feel too heavy.

Any ideas?

I'm a 56 year old woman who just learned of my ADHD last year. It's been a crazy struggle, but at least now I know the HOW and WHY behind it all.

So my question is, If you could speak to your younger self, what would you say?

I've pondered this query for awhile, and I would definitely tell her a some things.

1. Despite what your Math teacher said, you are NOT stupid! So what if you're in "Developmental" Math! You're also in University English and Creative Writing!

2. You need more sleep than you realize, especially after socializing. That battery needs a recharge after interactions!

3. Don't believe them when they bully you with hateful words like "lazy," or "ret@rd" because you are smart.

And don't limit yourself..Get that nursing degree now, instead of later.

4. Resting and restarting are not failures. You process things differently and need time to figure out things.

5. You are different and a wonderful partner will see that and lift you up, instead of tearing you down.

6. You will grieve Mama passing for many years to come, as grieving is a longterm challenge for you.

7. Follow Mama's example and be of service as much as you can. Focusing on those in need is good for the soul.

8. Take really good care of your body with good food.

9. Spend some time in nature every single day, and know that stray animals will show up in your life. Take care of them, as they offer so much in return!

10. Never stop learning and loving in life, as it is finite.

For me, grocery shopping is very stressful at times. It's often crowded, noisy, and I freeze with too many choices.

I have my things delivered and it makes my life so much more peaceful.

I'm on my 3rd week of Ozempic and I am finding a ton of great posts offering stellar advice and guidance. This community is kind of my lifeline as I go on this journey.

The one thing I see missing is the psychological component. We can count macros and take Beano all day long, but what about our mental health?

​

As a lifetime of dieting has taught me, I CAN lose weight but it won't stick if my brain and emotions aren't allowed a seat at the table.

​

​

Where do we find ourselves if we "get skinny" but we still see the old body, revert to the old habits, and never address the core issues?

​

My biggest question is how do we change our brain to match our body?

​

Im interested if anyone else has ideas or experiences.
