I have gained 15 pounds in 6 days.

I am in a weird cycle. Things are so dry where I live. Dry! eradicated! Nothing zip, zilch, you get the point.


I have had the worst germination rate with my seeds circa 2002.


So I have been drinking as a poor substitute.

When the drinking get's crazy, I abstain for about a week. Mainly to prove that I can.

When I do, I end up compulsively overeating. I lift and do cardio at least 3 times a week. If I didn't I would be over 400 pounds easy.

Anyone else out there on a similar vicious cycle?


What is your vicious cycle.


P.s.

The weird thing is, when I have regular access to weed, I am lean.

6 pack lean! I get the munchies, yet over all in a 24 hour period I eat very low cal.

I don't deviate much from my baseline. I do love good beer but limit myself to 3 a day maximum, two a day would be better. When I have problems with gaining weight, it's because I'm unable to exercise because of injury. I basically eat a neolithic kind of diet, i.e. basic and bland, so that helps too I guess.

wow man that's over 1 kilogram a day, that's crazy, very unhealthy, you need to worry, really worry about it and change right now whatever the fuck you are doing to get 1000grams of weight input into your body per day.

whenever you are hungry, just drink tons of water instead, for example.

wake up way earlier than usual and go out to walk.

and obviously, stop drinking alcohol, and if you are an alcoholic in denial, well, you are fucked.

good luck.

that weight gain almost sounds impossible w/o steroid to build/keep body mass, but hey, anything's possible, I lost weight at an alarming rate back in Nov/Dec '08.

a nerve in my back and left leg put me in such horrible pain that I couldn't eat or drink anything without throwing it up, here's how it started.

I was walking to my bathroom when suddenly that nerve in my leg became pinched somehow, it hit me like a bus right then & there, the pain was excruciating, I looked to my left and spotted an empty bucket, I grabbed it and proceeded to empty my stomach, the pain was so bad it made me nauseous.

I went to my doctor, of course a visit starts with weighing, blood pressure etc. there was nothing he could do except to offer pain killers.

2 weeks later I'm back in his office, part of his notes for that visit describe me as "Dave Smith is sitting before me writhing uncontrollably in pain."

2 weeks later I'm back there again, at the weigh in it's noted that I've lost 47 pounds between visit #1 & #3, exactly 28 days.

In that entire month I was taking in between 100 & 300 calories per day, and throwing most of that up, I continued to lose more weight, 53 pounds in all. btw, all of those calories were from Gatoraide G2, regular Gatoraide had too much sugar for my diabetes to handle. All of my diabetic and blood pressure meds were thrown up usually 30-40 minutes after washing them down with even the smallest amount of water

finally around the 5th or 6th week the pain from that nerve started to ease up just a little, soda commercials on TV made me want some canned Coca-Cola, burger commercials had my mouth watering; I asked a friend to stop off and grab me a Hardee's & canned cola, yeah I threw it up pretty quick but the next burger and coke stayed down, I was on the road to recovery.

the pain was so bad that a friend made two 40 mile round trips each day to check on me and to walk my dogs, I could barely walk to the door to let them out, couldn't leave my house unless I was helped.

I've never contemplated suicide but if I had to live my life in that much pain every day then that option was certainly on the table. I'm sure that I could have that nerve severed if it couldn't be repaired; I'd be crippling myself but being free of that crazy pain would be a must.

Thanks for everyone's input. I just really need some weed. When I have a regular supply, I am so healthy. This weight gain is fairly common for me, a few years back, me and my family visited my brother at college for 2 1/2 days (Friday-Sunday). The whole time we ate out (Burger, fries, pizza, Chinese food etc) and no working out. I got back home, weighed myself, I gained 8LBS. My body loves to hold on to calories.
My ancestors must have survived many a famine thanks to this genetic trait.

How often do you drink? If you overeat when you stop drinking, it may be the case that you're eating as a way of staving off anxiety related to your body not being accustomed to going without booze.
 
my weight fluctuates between 140 and 160 and can be at either end of those in a week time.i have the other problem i lose the weight, not gaining it.il go from say 152 down to 141 in just a few days.

welcome to the internet :D

you're a lucky person, 4/20 is right around the corner.

i set out on 4/20 in 2009.. eventually found my way to some friends with NORML.


otherwise, "the way to control a destructive addiction is to replace it with a less destructive addiction", good luck finding one that fits! i'd probably order some salvia divinorum, which is anything but relaxing, but will consume time and thought until weed is available again.. hope you find a friend with bigger pockets than i.

Exactly what Waveguide just said...Your on the internet talking about how you cannot get weed?

Where do you live? Actually it does not even matter...100% you can get weed delivered to you. If you are in North America it is crazy how many options their are...
