how do you rule like this girl?

I would be if the person I lived with did not constantly remind me to eat by cooking stuff that smells delicious.

I'm torn about it to be honest. I'd be way less fat and more attractive if I was left to "unhealthily" naturally skip meals. That said, home cooked food is tasty.

When on vacation with other people and kind of forced to have three meals per day, I quickly feel like I'm spending all of my time eating.

It was real wild to just kinda lose hunger, but it has done wonders for my dieting. It's real easy to lose weight when stuff like shakes are the only way my body tells me I haven't eaten.

Damn I wish, I'm more like: Body: I'm hungry Brain: but I just ate a child sized burrito Body: don't care, want more Brain: yeah you're right, we should probably eat some more

Genuinely, what got me out of such feelings was to not eat for a day or two a few times (not in a row).
Learning the difference between real hunger and "stomach is just empty" made a BIG difference. I can basically ignore first-world hunger now without even trying. Also probably omeprasole helped, since a highly acidic stomach sucks and can turn normal hunger pains in to nasty heartburn that only certain foods can quench.
- At the moment eating a lot is very advantagous to me, I know a couple of people who are way too skinny because they do tons of exercise and don't eat enough. And some who will just chug some olive oil because calories. But I'm a healthy weight and I get to eat all the time, I'd say it's a good position to be in.
- Yeah, once you get past the carb-hunger it gets easier.
I've been more in this camp for most of my life. I have no solutions, the only thing that worked for me was HRT.
- Just need a little bit of gender fluid to make things right lol
- Interesting, how does the HRT help? Like this?

my body: hungry, need food

my brain: sorry i am currently doing a task, let's just ignore that for now i'm sure it won't be a problem...

me too. hunger just goes away when you do tasks

Easy. Just don't eat 👌

On holiday and I almost collapsed while ordering a doner kebab in Helsinki yesterday because I forgot to eat after walking around the city for 5 hours straight lol. This meme resonated hard

“I stood up from a squat quickly and feel light headed, I should probably eat something.”

That's most likely just normal blood pressure fluctuations. Hypoglycemia is straight up concerning in feeling. Like worse than vertigo.
- A little light headed is perhaps a bit of an understatement to what I feel sometimes. Sometimes it’s “op, almost lost consciousness there for a second”

I lost 100lbs living like this. I even passed out once. Good times.

Holy crap, what weight did you start at?
- Start? About 7lbs, 14 oz.
  Ended up around 300 when I was 30. Then went back down to 200 at about 34.

My doctor looked at me like I was a lunatic when I said that I eat exclusively out of habit. It’s interesting to find others in a similar boat.

Far better than eating out of boredom :/
I eat because my colleagues look at me weird when it's the 5 th time I forget to eat in a week

I live off espresso, weed and nicotine, and then I wonder why I don't always feel good.

I did just buy some nicotine patches to try and quit the last one. Maybe fourth time's the charm?

I'm cheerin for ya.
I just hit a year, wont lie its pretty tough but it does get easier. Just keep trying until you can kick it.
- I managed a bit over 2 months without smoking once, I did cold turkey. Got hooked again after a stressful night in the ER where another patient waiting offered me a smoke.
  Thanks for the encouragement! EDIT: And congrats on a year!
Wish you luck ;)
- Thanks, I appreciate it!
My wife was in the same boat as you, but then she found out she was pregnant and that worked for her. Hopefully she stays off it when the baby’s born.
Looks like you need to get pregnant.
- Congratulations (assuming you both wanted it) and godspeed!
  I think the pregnancy (if wanted) thing 'helps' in that you'll have strong feelings to protect the developing fetus. Can't guarantee it for all though and it's not a solution, just a possible explanation. Hormones can be wack, yo.
- IIRC that's how my parents quit ages ago. I don't recall if they stopped when my mom got pregnant or when they started trying to get pregnant. Either way, my dad also quit out of solidarity/responsibility at the same time, both cold turkey. Probably having someone else there who can empathize and keep you accountable is a good way to do it. Maybe find a friend who wants to quit too and do it together?
Have you tried the gum yet?
- The idea of it kinda grosses me out, plus I'm usually too busy drinking espresso for gum :P

ADHD time blindness.

That feel when you go too long without eating so when you do finally realize you're starving you eat way too much and feel miserable after.
Psssh IMO the concept of time itself is far less natural than the ADHD it molests.

When I was younger I had a really fast metabolism, so it was very hard for me to gain weight. People always told me I was lucky, but I would explain that it comes at a price. If I skipped a meal, I would get the shakes and start to get a headache.

I hate it, I can't skip meals because it makes me feel terrible and I can't gain weight to look a bit chubby... I wish i could gain weight ffs

I didn't realize this was a thing until a couple of years ago. I thought I was just cold when it turns out it's just my body telling me I'm hungry

Used to be me. I grew up during heroine chic so it was intentional fasting. Gaining even a pound was unacceptable. That behavior stuck around even though nobody cares anymore. These days, I have rice cakes throughout the day, so I don’t get the shakes. And those little power bar gels.

Shakes likely come from a lack of electrolytes. Multivitamins and/or good sports drinks (ones that aren't loaded with sugar and have more than a bunch of salt) would help more than rice cakes or most power bars.
- Makes sense, I didn’t know that. The power bar gels I eat at basically electrolytes and a little caffeine.

Snake meal. One meal a day usually. Sometimes I skip it.

but how much do you eat in that meal
- How many calories is in 1 cup of dry rice once it's cooked?
  Cuz that's my normal meal. Just white rice. With soy sauce and hot sauce if I have it. Once every other week or so I'll make some pinto beans to have with my rice. But the rice is always there.
- About 60-3000 calories, depends if I've got time to do more than grab an apple

me all the time, i forget to eat and then i wonder why i'm dizzy. "oops, when was the last time i ate? yesterday?"

100%

Double-whammy’d my appetite with blowing up my liver and losing my smell.

The only draw to eat is:

oh shit I’m shaking it’s been days

weed

What time do you usually eat me

when i gain hyena bite strength to crunch at the marrow
- You're gonna gain hyena bite strength? Aww, I'm still gonna have to crush bones with a rock like a heckin' ape

i wish i were dis...

but instead i drink about 6 liters of water but am STILL hungy... grrrr

well maybe try eating food... water isn't food
- but i heard some models drink mor water so they cn eat less food n stff- also i doooo eat food!
  i jus dun wana eat lots of it... but evil human instincts make me havin to do it... or feel like havin to do it-

This post is calling me out, HELP

don't worry, embrace the ADHD
