Emma Hooker, as stated in her Instagram biography, is a fitness and nutrition coach who underwent a significant weight transformation, losing 72 kilograms. She frequently shares insights from her remarkable weight loss experience on her Instagram account.

On April 1, Emma discussed the impact of ADHD on her eating habits throughout her weight loss journey and revealed the strategies that assisted her in improving her dietary patterns.

Hyper fixation on food

“I’d get obsessed with one meal or snack and eat it every day for weeks until I couldn’t even look at it anymore. Then I’d feel stuck and end up skipping meals or grabbing random stuff I didn’t enjoy,” she wrote.

What helped her weight loss: Planning 2-3 rotating food options that helps in keeping variety without overwhelming herself. 

Confusing hunger and fullness

“I’d go hours without realising I hadn’t eaten and then suddenly I’d be starving and end up overeating. Other times I’d eat past fullness just because I wasn’t really paying attention,” wrote Emma.

What helped her weight loss: I now set timers, check in with my body and eat before I get too hungry. Awareness changed everything.

Eating for dopamine

“I’d snack constantly when I was bored, not hungry. It wasn’t about food. I just needed stimulation. It turned into a cycle of guilt and frustration,” her post read.

What helped her weight loss: Now she checks with herself what she needs and does that.

Overwhelmed by options

“Too many choices stressed me out. Especially in restaurants. I’d feel anxious, make a rushed choice and regret it after, she added

What helped her weight loss: Now I check menus ahead of time or keep go-to meals I love in rotation. Less thinking, less stress. 

All-or-nothing eating

“I’d eat perfectly all day, then binge at night. It felt like I undid all my progress in one sitting and the guilt hit hard,” wrote Emma.

What helped her weight loss: I stopped labeling food as good or bad. I eat balanced meals with things I enjoy so I never feel deprived.
