@pancakes @MadgePickles Wait -- your cat bought you lunch?

If it weren't for the weed, I don't think I'd ever eat, my autistic ass just wouldn't think of it.
But also if all it takes is ripping open a packet and pouring stuff out to have ready to chew food (but not liquid or mush, the texture 😫), it's a winner. Because eventually I get to the point where I feel sick and NEED FOOD NOW or I'll throw up acid.
Brains are weird.

I can go from completely food averse/nauseous to making 5 star meals in my kitchen after a good visit with miss mary jane lmaoo

Consistently relying on weed to give you an appetite can make you dependent on it to feel hungry. Note how most heavy long term smokers you know are thin as rails.

If you happen to have this problem, however, a meal replacement drink like Soylent can be a godsend. It's pretty hard to eat a nutritious 2000 calories if you have to wait until you're really high at 9pm to start eating.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. I've been taking regular breaks after smoking constantly for about a year and it took a couple days to actually have an appetite again

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

idk every long time heavy weed user I know has hella munchies and are either slightly or really fat, myself included lol

Literally my conversation with my wife last night.

Me when I got home from work: I was good today! I bought some new, low calorie rice cake snacks with flax, chia, and quinoa! A serving is only 90 cal and they taste awesome!

My wife: I bought a 10 pack of king cones...

Me: ...I also bought hot pockets...

Weird day for sure but I felt amazing. Slept well and woke up early. Maybe I should do this again on purpose?

Breakfast was two slices of raisin toast

Lunch was 30-40 sping rolls, legit too many to count

Dinner was some Mexican chickpea bowl thing

I think I fucked up with a few too many sping rolls??

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have questions;

  1. Did you mean spring rolls?

if so,

  1. Were they full sized spring rolls?

if so,

  1. Where did you get that many full sized spring rolls down your craw in one sitting? A restaurant?
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Asian mom/grandmother can satisfy all three bullet points.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Right? Give me this magical spring roll fountain

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A meal replacement drink, ~several hours of hyperfocus~ like 10 handfuls of peanuts??? ~more hours of focus~ a chicken breast, some roasted veggies, baked potato (pleased about this, but it was provided for me) i am very good at being functional and taking care of my body

Yesterday, I had half a box of cheez-it duos (sharp cheddar and parmesan) at about 2pm...after getting up about 8am and going for a run at 11am. Didn't eat again until I got home from picking up my wife at the airport at 10:30pm. I ate about 3 servings of tater tots. Didn't eat again until 6pm today. Fucking hell that's not great.

My body WANTS to be diabetic, who am I to get in its way?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My body as well.

I'm type 1 and 2 at the same time thanks to a genetic disorder called McCune Albright syndrome.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

definitely cant relate to all you hunger-forgetters. I went the other way into full on binge eating (BED). constant snacking = constant victory 😎 dopamine city baby

oh god praise Vyvanse and its expiring patent

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Started out nice, english muffins, tea, cereal.

Lunch was kinda last minute and incredibly late, left over green bean casserole and a veggie chicken sandwich.

Dinner though, dinner is going to be wild.I'm either going to make another green bean casserole or some minute rice depending on how late I end up making it... So probably rice.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What do you like to put oj minute rice?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OJ on minute rice sounds innovative.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mix with soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, then add some chicken, scallions, and some bean sprouts and you've got a damn tasty dinner.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fuck, I gotta try that at some point

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Great simple stir fry recipe I use at work. I do recommend orange marmalade over OJ though. Thickens a little bit better, if you do use oj, you may want to thicken your sauce with a little corn starch

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's different each time, sometimes hit sauce, sometimes Alfredo sauce, usually veggies though.

Sometimes chicken, but that mostly depends on if I've got the motivation or the left overs.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

We had same breakfast as every day (almonds and rice cakes) then lunch was a turkey sandwich with way too much Mayo, dinner was Chinese food.

Ngl actually pretty good today.

Then of course I ended the day by eating about 7 servings of MNMs so maybe not the best day

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I made eggs this morning. I had a weird bubble waffle thing. Then I had Chipotle and some Pocky. I know I snack on some stuff to but I can't remember.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I cannot for the life of me remember,

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@MadgePickles I’ve been nursing a 32 oz insulated mug of coffee everyday for a while.

Can confirm, am Indian.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I have not felt like eating at any point today, so I haven't. But I ate lots yesterday? I will probably eat a bunch of random stuff later.
