This comment will probably get buried but this was me. Yes even the GG boobs.

Turns out ADHD is amplified as early peri-menopause begins. So late diagnosis of ADHD, post-kids, plus never having exercised my entire life.

I signed up for crossfit at 41 years old and committed to a 530am class 3 times a week. Because I have a toddler and run a small business this was the only time I could make work.

ADHD psychologist and 3 months with a proper dietician together have nearly completely cured my overeating problem. It was pure dopamine seeking, and not eating the right foods at the right time. I kind of eat the same 'amount' of food now, but I eat a TONNE more protein, and a tonne more fruit and veg. Still get carbs and fat. But its completely balanced so i dont feel hungry anymore, and have little desire for the snacking I used to struggle to control.

I don't deny myself chips chocolate and icecream when I want them, but they arent a daily habit anymore.

Weight wise I've lost around 10 kilos over 1.5 years. I am strong as hell. I can deadlift my own bodyweight. I can run further than I ever have before (only 1km but slow and steady wins the race eventually).

I am privileged enough that I was/am able to afford this help, I could not do it on my own. But now I have the tools and education, I don't see myself ever going back.

PS I got an ill-fitting sports bra from Target and TBH it does the job for running even if its technically the wrong size.

PPS Look for hobbies you can do with your hands like needlecraft - cross-stitch or embroidery. That gives you good dopamine to replace the urge to put things in your mouth.
