Ganja and getting fat?

Cannabis has altered my mental state(in a good way) and I feel I am more careful about what I put into/on my body. Like food, drugs, body care products, and other things.

I have a much better handle on my body weight as of now, as before I started using cannabis, I wasnt as aware if what I was putting into my body, and gained weight. I have lost a considerable amount of weight over time(maybe a year or two) and now I can usually keep a stable weight.

However, I do now find that I sometimes dont have much of an appetite, but, I could medicate further until an increase in appetite. moreover I think this decrease doesnt have much to do with cannabis, however, its solution might, and it would be nice not to have to really on an appetite stimulant.

So, basically, cannabis helped me in the first place to be more aware of my physical body, now it must help me to eat more(or rather, on a more consistent schedule).

I'm with JeffP. I started smoking after a 12 year break last March. I weighed 205lbs. To help justify smoking, I started triathlon training again. I love getting baked & running long distances. By the end of summer, I had dropped 40lbs, 10lbs less than I had when I did the training 2 years before.

How did getting high help? I found that if I was hungry, I could snap a couple of bongs & it changed the hunger to something more managable & could put off eating for another hour or so. I also liked the motivation it provided. When I'm baked, I have no desire to eat, it's when I come down that I get the munchies. I have to remember to only eat enough to satiate the hunger & not gorge myself. I also quit red meat, bleached foods, anything with HFCS, proccessed meats, & fast food.

My forum name is one I often use in MMOs. I'm not chubby anymore.
