How to gain weight/eat more?
I’m not diagnosed with ARFID, but I am with autism and ADHD, so I often struggle to eat.
A variety of issues pop up.
Something doesn’t seem like it will be a good sensory experience, or I don’t have the energy or executive function to cook or even prepare food, or I get bored and overstimulated (I’m highly sensitive to feeling full) halfway through a meal and stop eating.
I also struggle even more to eat when my routine is disrupted or I’m upset, and I’ve been going through a difficult time in my life recently, so, yeah.
Right now I’m the lightest I’ve ever been since I was a teenager. I’m 23 and I’m 112 lbs on a good day.
I really want to put on more weight, whether that be from eating more or finding ways to get better nutrients into my diet. But half the time everything seems gross to me, or I don’t have the energy, or I ate a LITTLE and got a LITTLE full and don’t want to eat anymore.
Any tips?
