    When I was younger I had a really fast metabolism, so it was very hard for me to gain weight. People always told me I was lucky, but I would explain that it comes at a price. If I skipped a meal, I would get the shakes and start to get a headache.

    Damn I wish, I’m more like: Body: I’m hungry Brain: but I just ate a child sized burrito Body: don’t care, want more Brain: yeah you’re right, we should probably eat some more

    Used to be me. I grew up during heroine chic so it was intentional fasting. Gaining even a pound was unacceptable. That behavior stuck around even though nobody cares anymore. These days, I have rice cakes throughout the day, so I don’t get the shakes. And those little power bar gels.

    I didn’t realize this was a thing until a couple of years ago. I thought I was just cold when it turns out it’s just my body telling me I’m hungry

      That feel when you go too long without eating so when you do finally realize you’re starving you eat way too much and feel miserable after.

    I live off espresso, weed and nicotine, and then I wonder why I don’t always feel good.

    I did just buy some nicotine patches to try and quit the last one. Maybe fourth time’s the charm?

      My wife was in the same boat as you, but then she found out she was pregnant and that worked for her. Hopefully she stays off it when the baby’s born.

      Looks like you need to get pregnant.

        I managed a bit over 2 months without smoking once, I did cold turkey. Got hooked again after a stressful night in the ER where another patient waiting offered me a smoke.

        Thanks for the encouragement! EDIT: And congrats on a year!

          Thanks! Its a process that needs management, it doesnt have an end point unfortunately, its just part of my maitenance like brushing my teeth. You got this! A relapse isnt a failure, its acknowledgment youve been successful to that point, next time youll go even longer without.

          Fair enough. I know you’re not really supposed to drink with it in your mouth but you can kind of chew and park, put it between your gums. It’s a little more active way of getting the nicotine and having that oral fixation placated vs the patch. I mean if the patch should work for you, heck, you do you, anything is better than OG cigarettes though

    100%

    Double-whammy’d my appetite with blowing up my liver and losing my smell.

    The only draw to eat is:

    - oh shit I’m shaking it’s been days

    - weed
