Nourishing with a Low Appetite: Primary Edition

Inspired by low appetite & a lifelong complicated relationship with nourishment.

Sufficiently nourishing is critical to wellness and functioning. It can be hindered by disordered thoughts & habits, brain-body disconnect, and low appetite. This list is meant to help with nourishment and weight care!

Many of these get at efficiency. Aim to get in maximum caloric & nutritional value per bite, since you can't take many. > I am not a professional-- just a struggling ND adult trying to put their Bachelor degree in psychology to good use!

Hello Fresh & Autism

So like I find the process of cooking hella overwhelming as an autistic person which is why I recommend this service

Planning meals is very difficult for me as it’s a multi step process that requires multiple spoons.

From going to the grocery store with bright lights, loud crowds, oversaturated colours, unmasked people, and closed in shelves trying to find the ingredients needed.

To then figuring out how to properly portion the ingredients I’ve gathered along with googling how to clean and prepare each ingredient.

To finding a recipe website that isn’t stupidly long, filled with unhelpful details, covered in ads, with the tutorial hidden under paragraphs of text.

Then figuring out what to do with all the ingredients I didn’t use and don’t want to let waste in the fridge.

I have spent way too much money on Doordash just to avoid those steps. So having healthy safe food ingredients planned ahead delivered on a day I chose saves SO MANY SPOONS and MONIES!

Assume you have permission

unless otherwise explicitly stated. “its okay to accommodate yourself” means Without Permission from Anyone who isnt yourself. im self-diagnosed auDHD and work in a pretty loud environment, and one day i just showed up, with my fidget jewelry + noise canceling headphones, and

1) only the coworkers i had to work with directly had anything to say

2) “the loud noises are overwhelming today, im gonna prioritize solo work” was all the explanation i had to give and just meant i got more to do in the back, by myself (heaven!)

3) a coworker (also on the spectrum) was shocked and said along the lines of wishing theyd realized that was an option

technically it wasn’t an option until i made it one.

so! results may vary, give yourself accommodations, and dont be afraid to set boundaries or fuckin quit

Doing dishes is definitely gross but sometimes I don't have a choice but to do it. The sponge has to be changed regularly tho because there's no way I'm touching that icky-looking sponge. There are certain jewelries that makes me feel claustrophobic (watches, bracelet). Rings however are like sensory toys. And I totally avoid swings and anything related to it that makes me dizzy.

a bottom-tier autistic experience is being told throughout your entire childhood that you are just an overthinker when it comes to social situations and later finding out that your friends did, in fact, hate being around you and tried to communicate that through weird little hints

Nourishing with a Low Appetite: Secondary Edition

Inspired by low appetite & a lifelong complicated relationship with nourishment.

Sufficiently nourishing is critical to wellness and functioning. It can be hindered by disordered thoughts & habits, brain-body disconnect, and low appetite. This list is meant to help with nourishment and weight care!

~Most~ of these ideas are subtle cues coaxing you to eat more, cited with empirical backing. [ Warning: studies approach subjects with weight loss, restrictive eating, diet culture, & anti-fat perspectives. ] > I am not a professional-- just a struggling ND adult trying to put their Bachelor degree in psychology to good use!

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING
