#ADHDJourney, Day 15: Meds are creating an unforeseen paradox. On one hand, I no longer wait until I am ravenous from skipping meals to eat. OTOH, the meds suppress my appetite. I simply don't *crave* food. It's weird being simultaneously more aware of my hunger and not really wanting food.

Day 10 of my #ADHDjourney: "Eating the frog" is the WORST way for me to be productive with my neurospicy brain. Starting my day with short and/or pleasant tasks (with the understanding that I will definitely go off task during side quests) is the best way to get shit done.
