haha, that's interesting, C..because, when I used to do pills and speed, I used to have to 'force' myself to eat, because I knew that I had to - as you probably know, speed curtails your apetite. However, I always used it as a tool (ie, to keep awake during working hours, and to give me the drive to do my job).
In respect of pilss, yes I agree - I used to do all my eating about 2 hours before I started dropping - because I thought that the food would somehow nullify the effects of the drug. I can go without eating for very long periods - but, as with all things, that course of action has it's downsides too. Your stomache can shrink quite rapidly, and so when you do eventually eat, you cannot physically get enough food inside you to meet your body's requirements - it usually took me up to 3 days to get my appetite back
