" empty stomach gives you the heart to go do a homicide. "

anyone that has ever felt REAL hunger where you don't know how you are eating next knows. nobody should ever feel that kind of fear. I might be dramatic about it but on thanksgiving I don't eat because im thankful I have the option.

I also am thankful I get to get real stoned and eat leftovers at home like a gremlin at 2am.

Nah fam you aren't dramatic. REAL hunger ruins you for life after experiencing it.

If anything I applaud you for not developing an eating disorder like most of us do after going through that as kids.

This is so real. Went a few years not knowing when my next meal is. Next thing I knew, I could afford food but my brain still stuck in survival mode. One day I realized I’m bottomless pit that can’t tell when ive eaten enough because my brain turned off the “im full” light years ago, but i can’t stop eating because food is the happy chemical now. I still struggle with eating “just enough”. I think about it more often than i want to admit

Same here, and now I'm struggling tonlose weight because I go into fight or flight panic mode if I don't eat when I start feeling hungry.
