intrepids,
i have weigh issues my whole life. they didn't get better when i started smoking but they didn't get worse. i think if you want to lose weight it doesn't have much to do with smoking the herb it has to do with what you do otherwise. since spring has srung when ever i can i catch a major buzz right before the munchies kick in i gather up my little girl in her wagon and the dog on her leash and i go walk until the munchies subside. i weighed about 186 all through high school and after i had my daughter i was up to 230. i was down to 160 because i had stomach problems and was throwing up all the time but as soon as i had surgury i was back up to about220 in like a month. i started losing weight in january when i got this job. there is alot of walking in my work, (i go to work high all the time). the only way to lose weight without doing damage to your body is to increase your activity. i don't go to the gym and i don't walk for a set distance when i walk. i walk to enjoy nature and to spend q-time with my daughter. it's hard to get use to at first but just next time you get high call up a mate and be like let's go for walk. leave your house before the munchies set in and DON"T bring money with you (or else you WILL end up in some crappy fast food joint completely negating the effects of your exercise). once you get used to keeping your selve busy through the munchies they will become less prononced. and you will be able to control what you do eat then when you do give into the munchies. believe it or not carrots with ranch dressing is an excellent munchie. if i smoke say everyday in a week i only allow chocolate and pizza like two days. other than that it's turkey on whole wheat and carrots. anyways i have lost since january 42 pounds. it's hard at first but once you get it down it's easy as hell to lose weight and be high. i am 178 now and i'm heathly. when i lost all the weight before i didn't look very good my hair was falling out in clumps and it wasn't a very good time. remember that losing wieght is good if your heavy but if you do it the wrong way a year from now you will be right back where you started. i wish you the best and i hope that some of this is helpful.

another thing and i don't want to offend you but there's just a under lying something in your posts that makes me wonder how your self esteem is. i had trouble with this also. if you ever wanna talk you can email me [email protected]

once again i wish you the best,
peace
