My Brain Changed. So I Had to Change With Them. My relationship with weight loss has changed a lot over the years. I’ve lost weight before. I’ve gained it back. I’ve strength trained. I’ve counted calories. I’ve done Weight Watchers. I’ve used a GLP-1. I’ve eaten incredibly “clean.” I’ve tracked macros.

I’m a therapist. I earned good grades growing up. I completed graduate school with a 4.0 and graduated summa cum laude. I built a career. I became a mother of four. I managed responsibilities, raised children, worked, went to school, and accomplished things I’m incredibly proud of. So ADHD? That didn’t really fit the picture I had in my head.
