@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.

[–] girl@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] jscummy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years 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

Weird day... I've eaten:

  • Fiber powder
  • 4 eggs with hot sauce
  • 1 can of sardines in olive oil
  • 1 can of tuna
  • 3 roasted almonds
  • A few bites of sauerkraut

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

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...

[–] Selmafudd@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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??

[–] C_Leviathan@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years 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?
[–] MadgePickles@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

Right? Give me this magical spring roll fountain

I had a sandwich today.

It was good.

[–] junezephier@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years 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.

[–] LordRaymond@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

some Red Baron pepperoni pizza slices for dinner 🍕

I'm trying to improve my diet but oh man I love those.

[–] SapphicFemme@lib.lgbt 1 points 2 years ago
[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years 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

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.

[–] hiyaaaaa23@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What do you like to put oj minute rice?

[–] SangriaFerret@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

OJ on minute rice sounds innovative.

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 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.

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.

[–] handofdumb@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years 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.

[–] Bozicus@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years 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.

[–] hiyaaaaa23@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Breakfast: 1.5 porkchops, 4 oatmeal choc chip cookies, 1 peach, 1 apple, Frosted Flakes

Lunch: pulled pork, baked beans, cole slaw

Tea time: toast with butter, tea with oat milk, tortilla chips

My diet has been awful lately.

[–] Methylman@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tea time

Tell me you're British without saying it

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I actually got it from my wife and in-laws who are Indian.

[–] BackStabbath@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Can confirm, am Indian.

[–] SapphicFemme@lib.lgbt 2 points 2 years ago

You had one fruit, healthier than me, for today

I cannot for the life of me remember,

[–] darthwonka@mastodon.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

Pizza for breakfast, skipped lunch and now my husband is making fajitas for dinner. I am thankful he feeds me. Lol. If not for him I would probably forget to eat half the time and then wonder why I feel like crap. Or I would live off chips and beef Jerky or something dumb like that.
