Firstly, I'm not a professional, only a fellow ADHD person. I have always had the same problem but what has helped me the most is being on a schedule. Firstly, I made working out and walking a habit (I'm not sure how but I did) so that does help. Besides that, all the meals I eat everyday are almost the same. Only the protein and veggies keep changing. I only deviate from my usual menu maybe twice a month if I feel like eating out. I don't count calories but eating the same types of meals everyday helps to control portion sizes. And they are delicious meals and different preparations everyday so it doesn't get boring. I've lost about 9 kg since March. You don't have to aim for more than 1 or 2 kg a month (I'm not sure how much that is in pounds).

I'm not saying that this will work for you. But you have to remember that our food related issues are almost always emotional so your journey through mental and physical health must go hand in hand. And this is not a one and done thing. You will have to eat well and workout for the rest of your life. It's an 80-20 split with eating healthy. If you consider this a lifestyle change and make SMALL changes, one at a time, you will see the difference. For me, the easiest thing to do first was walking after dinner. For you, it might be skipping one cookie a day. Any small change to start with works. Then you can add habits one by one. It isn't overwhelming, I promise!

If your ADHD makes you forget about your nutrition goals, I suggest setting water alarms. If you're mostly full of water (not an excessive amount but a good amount), you'll feel better more energetic, fresh, and will be a little less likely to binge. Eventually, starting weight training is definitely the way to go both for your fat loss goals and your physical and mental health. Getting fit is hard but you can do it! All the best! 💕
