Re: Being overweight and ADD

Trashman – Yes, most definitely stress can be an enabler to gain weight. I’ve seen enough “heavy” tv shows where this was a root cause. In my case, it’s unrelated. I’m overweight because I’m lazy and don’t want to spend time to cook a healthy meal. It’s much faster and easier eating unhealthy, and leaves me more time for my “projects” that normally don’t get done anyway.

Kc5jck – Never thought their actually being a flipside to gaining weight. Being so focused you forget to eat! This definitely isn’t my problem. Normally a distraction leads to raiding the food closet.

Scattybird – Yes, that sounds like me. Say for instance I get some of pasta at Pizza Hut. That’s normally enough to feed four or be enough food for four days. It doesn’t stick around. Same for candy. It’s rare for a bag of candy to be around 24 hours later after being bought. What I find true in the colder days though is I normally don’t want to get out of the warm car until I’m home. If it’s not in the fridge, it won’t get eaten so I’m trying to stash it with much healthier options. One advantage of being single I guess..
