I used to not anything all day, then take an edible and eat all of my calories at once. Depending on stress, sometimes I regress to only being able to eat a few safe foods (when it’s really bad - only the pizza and nacho lunchables), and weed usually helps there.
Since I had stomach surgery recently and have to eat small things frequently, I bought a shit ton of bulk snacks and I always keep some with me. I also gave myself permission to buy bottled water. It’s helped a lot to have little things on hand, so I don’t have to interrupt whatever I’m doing to eat. I just grab some goldfish crackers and a water bottle out of my backpack and then I’m good to go.
How about sitting back utterly satisfied with your complete meal and then noticing that others look like they’ve started eating?
Oops
yall should get checked for neurodivergence if its relatable, assumed this was adhd-memes
I got diagnosed at 52, i only discovered that forgetting to eat and being shaky wasn’t normal when i turned up that way to a therapy session and my therapist pointed out that, that wasn’t a normal thing.
isn’t it related to low blood sugar if your body becomes weak and shaky?
You get low blood sugar from not eating. You don’t get the normal hunger cues before that point if you have something happening in your brain
Me: “Why am I so angry about nothing?”
Does forgetting to drink water and eat food make you more angry and emotional over things? Cause random outbursts and random mood swings?
It absolutely does for me! People call it being “hangry”.

I bet she was happy and completely normal after getting her chicken.
Very much so, yes.
You might have type 1 diabetes.
Skipping a meal shouldn’t give you shakes.
I see you haven’t experienced “doing something with tunnel vision for 16 hours before realising that you’re shaking because you forgot to eat and that your last meal was dinner yesterday around 26 hours ago”. I don’t think you need the beetus to experience that.
One time I “forgot” to get out of bed, because I was just “one more game” from the moment i woke up. Finally caved to go to the toilet and get some breakfast. 1am.
I have to ask what bad ass game have this effect on you
It is truly curious how different all our lives are.
One meal?
It does if you only have one (1) meal a day.
It might surprise you (pleasantly or horrifically lol) to learn that there’s a large group of people specifically doing one meal a day (referred to as OMAD) as a form of hardcore intermediate fasting.
That being said, they make sure they get the proper amount of calories/macros in for this (they’re not just eating a slice of bread and butter), so I understand that you’re not referring to this style of eating.
Still wanted to bring it up though. Wild stuff.
Sounds like the easiest way to count your calories and macros. Plus saves you time during the day. Is it good for you though?
It’s yet another type of intermittent fasting. I bet it’s good for some people, but honestly: if you have access to affordable nutritionists: ask one and see if it would be good for your body type.
I cannot relate less to a meme. 😂
Yeah I feel like it’s genuinely problematic if you do that kinda stuff. My stomach feels like I ate two knives if I haven’t eaten in even six hours.
Me, staring at the unopened biscuits in my desk drawer:
(Context: I’ve had 2 moderate meals today already and have something planned for dinner.)
If I could binge eat once a week and then not have to bother to eat for the rest of that week, I’d be so happy.
Meal prep fiber/protein rich food is my best attempt at this. I usually do brown rice with toppings and egg every single day; twice per day. Very hard to get bored because you can vary the toppings - eggplant, beans, curry, soy protein, stir fried stuff - and brown rice is fiber which is hard to be bored of smaller carb/glucose-spike footprint.
Just don’t freeze it, the crystals will mush the texture and you’ll get bored of the slop feel very quickly.
Honestly, I took a look at fiber a few years ago and realized that it was basically absent from my diet.
I started treating it like a game.
Just generally, I feel so much better, my poos aren’t markers, my stomach is not ever “doing something” and just generally I don’t have to think about it. Plus I dropped a bunch of weight kinda by accident.
I’m kinda starting to think that if you basically aim for fiber the rest works out. You end up eating larger quantities of less dense calories.
Though, I may have inadvertently discovered that dairy makes my tummy gross too

Hungry? Try eating 197 pounds of raw salmon. You certainly won’t regret eating 197 pounds of raw salmon.
I eat when I am on the verge of throwing up due to low blood sugar.
Y’all really cannot schedule a 3 meal a day plan? What do you mean throwing up is your alarm to go eat?
Hyperfocus. But not on food.
Just ADHD things
Conventional meal for this time of day
Or
Another black filter coffee
Choose your adventure!
That is how i know i need food, i am going for the coffe, it has gotten cold or the cup is empty, so I check the time “ah it is lunch time”, works every time.
Too real… 🤣
Strangely enough, antidepressants help for being able to actually feel hungry.
i have most appetite when i’m in a good mood, so that checks out
Makes sense 10% to 20% of people on them report weight gain
I need off wellbutrin, as good as it is for my mental health I keep forgetting to eat while using it
That’s why I started Wellbutrin actually. Insurance doesn’t cover any GLP-1 unless I have diabetes. At the time I was almost 320 pounds. Wellbutrin has helped bring me down to a steady 265 for the last year.
In contrast to me „oh I got a minute, time to eat 5 cans on beans“
Same and I also go to sleep when I feel I am going to die.
I WANT to live this way! But I’m at my parents’ house now, no way they’re letting me stay this way…
If you don’t get the proper amount of calories for your body (especially if you’re still growing) you’ll be in a lot of trouble.
Even as a fully grown adult, not eating enough and physically exerting yourself could mess with your bone density among other things. Happens to thru hikers on the Appalachian trail when they don’t eat enough.
It’s a Summer thing, actually. Heavy tummy all the time, doesn’t ever feel light. I did have a “large” meal yesterday and almost felt like I was going to be bloated.
But then again, Summer-only. I was eating fine at the dorm, 4 meals a day, 3 meals instead if I was overeating for each meal, or 2 if I accidentally skipped the other two…
…Or maybe it’s the switch in environments. I dunno!
