I just don’t feel hungry anymore. My stomach is such a constant mess of pain and stress that it’s hard to really differentiate a hunger pang or a hunger gurgle from an acid reflux pang or a gas gurgle. I really miss just having a healthy stomach that would let me know when it’s time to eat, and when to stop eating.
I used to be like this. But I got sick of looking like Christian Bale in The Machinist. Now working on looking like Christian Bale in Batman Begins.
I swear my wife waits till she gets headaches and needs to eat, I always offer to cook but for some reason the migraines of the real decider of when we eat
We work on the “if I’m hungry, you’re hungry” policy most days.
Occasionally my partner will do that too. I’ve had it happen to me, like, twice. It’s so weird, but it straight up just sneaks up on you.
For me it’s “I feel like I’m gonna be sick”, Better eat something.
This is my secret to staying thin
This plus hyperthyroidism is why many people keep trying to convince me I have anorexia.
That’s awful. Most people are polite enough not to tell people “hey you’re fucking fat” to their face but will pester skinny people with rude jokes and comments allll the time. Doesn’t exactly help with body image.
I literally never feel hunger due to a rare non-body image related eating disorder. (ARFID, look it up, it’s fun.)
One odd thing though- when I use cannabis, my brain tells me to have food even though I don’t feel hunger.
The power of munchies transcends eating disorders
At least mine. Too bad it most often affects children or it might be quite helpful.
That’s wild, thanks for sharing
I have that too! I could go days without eating if I don’t make an effort. I even have a personal rule that if I haven’t eaten by 2p, I have to stop whatever I’m doing and eat. However, if I exercise, my appetite kicks in, so it’s best that I have an exercise regiment if I want to stay eating regular.
I set alarms so I can eat.
My wife has ARFID, and it’s so hard on her. That’s so interesting that you don’t feel hunger, she definitely does but has a very very small list of safe foods she wants.
As a daily cannabis user, I literally do not get hungry on my own anymore.
But I’m still fat cause all I gotta do is take 8 or 9 rips off the dab rig, and next thing I know I’m raiding the fridge at 3am and cooking up a feast fit for a king.
It’s especially annoying when the GF wants to go out to eat. Cause then I gotta sneak out of the restaurant to take a “bathroom break”, because she hates weed. Thankfully she’s nose blind enough now that she no longer smells the cart on my breath. But she notices when I dab every time, so I leave that shit at home in the balcony closet, which I’ve converted into a little smoking room so I can take care of my head at night after she goes to bed (Edit: Yes she’s aware of the smoking room. I only wait until she’s asleep out of consideration cause I hate getting judgemental looks when I walk back into the house stoned off my ass.)
Needless to say, I really gotta take a T-Break. But it’s so difficult to do so when you rely on it to eat, sleep, and keep your blood pressure low.
Are edibles as addictive as smoking? Just wondering
They’re way more powerful. I was eating like 200mg per day at one point and I was just high 24/7
Edibles are actually weaker. They last longer, yes, but the stomach can’t process THC as effectively as the lungs can.
The reason why you got higher is because you don’t normally smoke/vape 200mg of THC concentrate in your sessions. That is a lot of THC; I can assure you that if you were to dab 1/5th or of a g in a single session, you’d get a lot higher than you would from eating the same amount. It just wouldn’t last as long, but would be a lot more intense than an edible of the same dosage.
I wouldn’t say so, but everyone reacts differently. At least the gummies I buy still leave me with a craving for smoking. It’s just not the same for me. Lol
This was actually my biggest struggle when I tried to use edibles to quit. I would take an edible, sit for 20 minutes and think “what if I get the ball rolling with a dab?”
I tried to quit smoking by using edibles. I do think they’re just as addictive
Even more-so because although they last longer, I find that tolerance also kicks in faster.
There’s also the lower bioavailability of edibles to factor in. I can get as stoned from as little as 150-200mg of vaped or dabbed concentrate (which is a lot, mind you, cause we’re talking about 80-98% pure THC, here; so much so that flower doesn’t get me high at all anymore, even if I smoke 3 fatass blunts in a row). With edibles it takes 500-600mg+ for me to feel anything. Edibles are limited to 100mg per package where I live, so I have to buy concentrate and make my own.
So that being said, even though the high lasts longer, it’s also weaker and requires me to spend a lot more to switch to edibles. Tolerance also kicks so fast that if I use edibles two days in a row I won’t get high the second day, even with a massive 900mg+ dose. Given that 900mg of vaped THC will last me almost an entire week, I only consume edibles on special occasions.
Whoa. I’m happy my 5mg edible twice a month is keeping things cheap. I find the physical routine of smoking much more addictive than just eating a piece of candy.
It’s always been an issue but recently it’s gotten out of hand since my new medications are appetite suppressants (methylphenidates and venlafaxine).
I manage to grab a quick snack when I wake up and then I’m unable to force myself to eat until the middle of the night…
What a pain in the ass.
Same, my friend (vyvanse). I find having a Soylent at lunch helps.
Yeah, me too. I just started on that med, and I found that I have to schedule my meals with reminders and then force myself to eat some of them, or I will go the entire day not remembering/wanting to eat.
As long as you have a healthy bodyweight, enough muscle mass and eat enough nutrients it’s fine.
People eat way too much and too often anyway. Many people are pre-diabetic without them knowing it. And it’s because they give their body constantly glucose spikes. 3 meals full of carbs and several sugary snacks throughout the day will slowly damage your body since your body doesn’t likely having so much glucose in the bloodstream.
If my body doesn’t like having so much sugar in it then why does it fucking crave it all the time
Well sugar is a lot like drugs…
My body clearly loves glucose, and I listen to my body.
Your brain wants sugar, but the rest of your body not especially your liver. Because your brain is a junkie for sugar.
First 8 months on Ozempic: “Why the hell does my stomach hurt so much? Oh, I haven’t eaten for 3 days.”
The first couple weeks I had to set an alarm to remind me to eat. 3 years later I wish it still had the appetite suppression. I’ve thought about Wegovy but I’ve finally stopped having the Ozempic side effects, and I don’t hate myself enough to go through with that again.
I didn’t forget to eat again, I’m just intermittent fasting.
freestyle & impromptu intermittent fasting
Actually this is legit my headcanon too - I don’t think I have any eating related disorder (sure, I can’t form patterns & eat at the same time every day, or every day, but that’s it), however I do think I know what I need to eat (cravings or whatever lesser cravings are called).
As long as my brain gets to connect the dots between taste and specific nutrients, I think I know what I need to eat.
Same, but the shakes are from both caffeine and starving. Not sure if I’m eating due to hunger or because it feels like my heart is going to explode.
Do you have ADHD?
No, but I’m genetically predisposed to being very sensitive to caffeine so there’s that.
I didn’t consider that.
It’s very common for people with ADHD to forget eating and overuse whatever CNS stimulant is readily available.
Yeah. Juat be sure to drink fluids. Way easier to do than people think.
There are many other reasons I would shack: I feel cold, I feel immense rage. That’s about it.
