eating | ADHD Information

Does anyone have problems with being a slow eater? It usually
takes me 3 times longer to eat than everyone else. I start day
dreaming while I'm eating, so I don't focus on it and take forever
chewing. I don't know if it has anything to do with being ADD.but that is really good for your digestion!

I do not have a problem eating too slow just eating when I do not want to! I use food like a drug to deal with any emotion and am hoping that my treatment with the ADHD may also help me to not "use" food like I do. Eating slow does not seem like such a bad thing.... there are so many other things we have to worry about!

 

Anyone out there found relief from food with Adhd treatment????

I have periods where I eat alot of food (maybe connected to the same periods where I smoke alot... and that might explain it) I eat the same food every day for weeks, and then I will change it into something else. I never feel I'm in the middle... when my life is good and relaxed I eat alot (could be good because of smoking...) and the rest of the time, I only eat when my body is screaming for food, but it's just a little bit and only because that is the only way to get the body working. At this moment I don't eat... it's just boring and takes too much time (stupid idea, but that is how I feel)
I think I'm the oposite from you, I only eat when things are ok
I snack too much! If i'm bored I'll go into the kitchen and eat small things even if I'm not hungry. Even to the point where i'm too full I'll still manage to grab some lettuce. Also when I'm cooking I'll eat the ingredients while I'm cooking, like raw mushrooms or a spoonful of cold beans. By the time I've cooked the meal I'm already full!
