Relying on weed for hunger

by HazieDaisy, Nov 08, 2009 02:59PM
Are there many other pot smokin' 'rexics out there of is it just me?

I find when the munchies take hold, I enter binge world, but sometimes I'm just too stoned to make myself purge, which I used to think as a good thing, as I would put on weight, but now my appetite doesn't really exist without smoking.

I'm now entering a non- smoking week as I am away from my boyfriend, and as today has already proven, I'm simply not hungry.  That's not to say I won't eat anything, I need to keep up my energy levels for work and such, so will usually manage a cereal bar or bowl or Special k, but with having the choice to not smoke (I know 'choice' sounds like a silly choice of word, my boyfriend smokes copious amounts of weed, and like they say, 'when in Rome'...) I will happily put hunger aside and stay off the weed.

But I cannot have pot as my switch for eating and not eating.  It needs to be something that comes from within me.

So I guess I am just wondering if many of you like to smoke and if so how do you control the munchies?  Does anyone rely on weed to create appetite?

Yeah, i smoke so I can eat, too. Especially when i do 2 week long intense starvation diets and i starve the the point where all i can do is lay in bed and im on the brink of being committed. Even if im hating myself when i first start, i'll just continue, and devour everything. Then next day, hungers gone until i smoke again. Its just because 1.) your stomach shrinks when you dont eat, so if your hungry the next morning, and actively chose not to eat that day, you wont be hungry the next ect. ect, and 2.) you think about it, and I think you kind of psych yourself out of the hunger.

Actually, im on one of those intense starvation diets as we speak...But i feel like ive been eating too much, so im not going to smoke until it hurts. =/
