giving up weed due to overeating

I don't usually smoke regularly but have been smoking daily for the last couple weeks. I have gotten ravenous and eaten ridiculous amounts of terrible food pretty often when I smoke. Between this and losing my job and routine a month ago I am up 10 lbs. Today I decided to quit smoking because the appetite is just not worth it for me. Anyone else been in a similar situation?

Answer

It sounds like it could be stress gain. I know for myself that feeling constantly overwhelmed causes me to numb my feelings with bad food choices.

I only smoke after my first meal so I don’t eat when high. This works well for me as I love to geta really active in the house and garden cleaning.

It’s the best part of my day, definitely my most creative. No TV, no food, just time with me. I’m rediscovering the me inside me. The me before I let my weight influence my every thought and action.

I find I need to give myself permission to let go of this weight. Yes, IF works so well for me but there are still psychological hurdles for me to find out why I’ve done this to myself. I know that smoking helps me to commit myself to eliminate any chaos and focus on being strong.

Dieting is mentally and physically stressful. You can totally reinvent yourself now as opportunity comes your way. Just be sure to stay balanced and thoughtful.

Answer

I was in a similar situation and contemplated quitting entirely as well. But I enjoyed the social aspect of smoking once in a while and the destressing effect it had. As a compromise, I cut it down to only once a week on Fridays.

Do you know what strain you’re smoking? Sativa doesn’t give me munchies at all, indica absolutely does though. Terpenes play a large factor supposedly too but I’m not that far down the rabbit hole yet

Good for you for making a change. I struggle with alcohol, myself. Not during the week, but then the weekend comes along and it’s hard to stop, when I get drunk I get hungry, and I’m a monster with chips in front of me. It’s one of the biggest things slowing my progress. Big ups to you, buddy.

Omg thissssssss. weed will give u the craziest munchies and low-key undo progress you make- for no good reason in my opinion. agree on dropping that habit and finding something else to help you relax (yoga, late night walks, etc)
