I posted this on Facebook yesterday, and figured I should probably put it here, too. Sorry if you see it more than once.
If my bathroom scale is to be believed, I've lost 25 pounds since I started tracking in mid-August. I haven't been talking about it much, because almost nothing bores me more than diet/exercise/weight talk, but this seemed like a milestone worth noting.
I completely credit it to starting medication for my ADD, in two main ways: 1) Almost immediately after starting on meds back in May I was able to finally break several bad eating habits I'd been trying to stop for years. 2) Appetite suppression is a known side effect of stimulants. Combined, these have meant I've cut way down on my mindless snacking. I've also had an easier time planning ahead so that I can make smart food choices rather than defaulting to whatever is easiest.
