The things that get in the way for me are: getting instantly bored with any weight loss strategy, an inability to do things if I'm told I have to, forgetting that I need to lose weight, needing the sensory input of food, inability to recognise when I'm full, hyper-focusing on weight loss for a month and losing a ton of weight and then putting it all back on the next month because I celebrated the weight loss with cake...

I just wonder if there are any ADHD behaviour hacks where I could use my neurospicyness to actually help me lose weight consistently.

I've found it's easier to create a set of rules that define my lifestyle than it is to commit to a diet. Like, think of strict keto as a way of living rather than a diet. Eat all you want, but sugar and carbs are no longer food. Don't focus on losing weight, focus on following the rules. The weight loss will happen in its own.
