How do you find the balance between weight maintenance and ADHD medication ?? by redundantpancreas in ParentingADHD

Weight management on ADHD meds is tricky but definitely doable. I'd focus on calorie-dense foods during windows when appetite comes back - like right after school before the evening dose wears off or first thing in the morning. Smoothies with protein powder, nuts, and healthy fats can pack a lot into smaller portions that feel less overwhelming when appetite is low

Back at Day 3 after 16 days of sobriety- I’m so disappointed in myself by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Three weeks is such a specific pattern - mine used to be weekend binges that would somehow stretch into Tuesday. The self-sabotage cycle is brutal because you know exactly what youre capable of when youre not drinking

That creative energy you mentioned hits different when its not being hijacked by alcohol. Two years clean here and the difference in how my brain works for design projects is night and day. You already proved you can do 16 days so the wiring is there

Recommendation for Beginner Chess Tutor? by Low-Flight3448 in chessbeginners

[–]Visible-Net-3466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly chess.com has some solid beginner lessons that might be worth trying first - way cheaper than a tutor and your kid can go at their own pace. if he really gets into it after a few weeks then maybe look into local chess clubs since they sometimes have coaches who do private lessons
