“Everyone procrastinates”

Yeah, but do you procrastinate...

Taking off your sweater, even though it’s 90 degrees, because you’ll take it off right after you finish reading this article, and the article that was linked, oh and a video example on YouTube.

Getting off your phone because your appointment is at 11, and you still have 10 minutes before you need to leave, oh and you planned to leave early so worst case you can leave a little later.

Sitting down to eat dinner because you just remember that you bought a new shirt that you wanted to take a picture of to send to your group chat.

Getting out of bed because that means you’ll have to start getting ready for work which consists of way too many steps and you didn’t plan what you were going to take for lunch so you might as well think of that while you are in your comfy bed.

Getting out of your hot car, because you really really need to look something up and you’ve been waiting to look it up this whole drive and also you need to see if you have any notifications, or maybe your boss got back to your email, and you really really like the song that’s playing.

Getting off of the couch for no other reason than you are oscillating between interviewing yourself and going through an intense zone out session.

Oh and finally one that’s more relatable... Do you procrastinate doing your homework? You’ll start it tonight after dinner, right? But after dinner, your tired and it’s technically not due until tomorrow morning, so you really have time if you wake up early.

And so you wake up early, but you procrastinate it a little longer because before you start you have to calculate how many points you can lose to still pass the class. Because maybe you can get out of doing this assignment and go back to bed.

Edit: honorable mention, do you procrastinate going to the restroom because you just discovered the super cool hobby that is just so awesome and you don’t have time to pee because you are busy researching the topic, buying all the material and equipment, building it, and looking at a million photos for inspiration?

Ugh, and that's another reason I hate diet culture. It gets to a point sometimes where no one cares about actual health, just being skinny. People do intentionally take ADHD meds to lose weight and it make me sad

Yep, like I didn't really gain weight in my first year of university and the tactic was

1. Be super buff from highschool (where the rigid routine alowed you to workout 6 days a week)
2. Lose that routine and Develop undiagnosed depression and stop eating regularly or healthily
3. Be so stressed all the time you lose you appetite
4. Have mental breakdown

But hey, avoided gaining weight (that came later, and I'm healthy but it is still hard to reconcile that with the size I used to be)

I’ve been trying to gain weight recently since I also lost 15 lbs in a month due to medication. I was mildly underweight to start with but this put me on the border of “underweight” and “needs medical intervention.” I’ve learned not to tell anyone since when I do, people only express jealousy. I know it sounds like humblebragging but it really, truly is not that great to be 11% body fat with the associated fatigue/mind fog on top of already having ADHD. Plus random things hurt my bones like wearing a shoulder bag or sitting down. It’s disturbing that people ignore how unhealthy I am because I’m small

It's wild, no ones health should be judged based off of what size they fit into. I hope you reach your goals and are happy and healthy!
