Help please,

I lost 30 pounds with IF a few years ago and finally decided to get started again. However, I use medical marijuana for ptsd and depression….I normally have no problem sticking to my eating window, but with smoking or eating the marijuana I always have uncontrollable munchies and sometimes wake up out of a dead sleep to grab a snack…..usually an unhealthy one…..if anyone has any tips or ideas to avoid this self sabotage, I AM ALL EARS! please and thank you….

Hello! I also use medical mj for depression. I see some folks are telling you to quit. Would they tell you to quit if it was pills? I hate pills and medical mj literally keeps me alive some days so I understand what you’re going through. What helps me is celery and cucumbers if I get the munchies. The crunching is really all my mouth wants. Also sugar free chewing gum is helpful. Good luck!

Answer

Hey! Please don’t quit cold turkey until you’ve found an alternative :)Since it’s medical marijuana, please talk to the prescribing provider about an alternative that works with your lifestyle. Sorry about others saying “deal with life head on” as maybe they missed the bit where it’s medically prescribed
