I lost 100lbs living like this. I even passed out once. Good times.
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
I’ve been more in this camp for most of my life. I have no solutions, the only thing that worked for me was HRT.
Snake meal. One meal a day usually. Sometimes I skip it.
but how much do you eat in that meal
my body: hungry, need food
my brain: sorry i am currently doing a task, let’s just ignore that for now i’m sure it won’t be a problem…
me too. hunger just goes away when you do tasks
me all the time, i forget to eat and then i wonder why i’m dizzy. “oops, when was the last time i ate? yesterday?”
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 stood up from a squat quickly and feel light headed, I should probably eat something.”
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
What time do you usually eat me
when i gain hyena bite strength to crunch at the marrow
You’re gonna gain hyena bite strength? Aww, I’m still gonna have to crush bones with a rock like a heckin’ ape
ADHD time blindness.
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.
My doctor looked at me like I was a lunatic when I said that I eat exclusively out of habit. It’s interesting to find others in a similar boat.
I eat because my colleagues look at me weird when it’s the 5 th time I forget to eat in a week
Far better than eating out of boredom :/
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 just hit a year, wont lie its pretty tough but it does get easier. Just keep trying until you can kick it.
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.
Wish you luck ;)
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Have you tried the gum yet?
The idea of it kinda grosses me out, plus I’m usually too busy drinking espresso for gum :P
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
i wish i were dis…
but instead i drink about 6 liters of water but am STILL hungy… grrrr
well maybe try eating food… water isn’t food
but i heard some models drink mor water so they cn eat less food n stff- also i doooo eat food!
i jus dun wana eat lots of it… but evil human instincts make me havin to do it… or feel like havin to do it-
and that’s unhealthy when models do that if you’re hungry you should probably eat
i do eat… i jus dun wana eat too much… like - u dun hav to convince me to eat… i do eat - but from my feelins - im eatin too much-
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
