Fast food, I shall miss you.

Project “No longer a total lardass” seems to be marching on without my guidance now. Fast food now tastes absolutely mediocre to me now, even Jack in the Box, my old standard. It’s too big, it’s too flavorless. Turns out salt and mayonnaise don’t substitute for good meat and actual flavor now. The only fast food I find myself enjoying now is In and Out, which is somewhat a border zone anyway because the ingredients are insanely fresh and the quality so high. Everything else is flavorless to outright shitty now.

It’s amazing how the march toward health will keep on going at a certain point without you trying after you make some basic lifestyle changes. I need less salt and less sugar every day, and I can taste chemical more and more.

At this rate my diet may become lowered-fat pemmican with some fruit and vegetables on the side.

Come to think of it, that’s not such a bad thing. Batches of pemmican and some fruit would certainly make for easier meals with full time classes coming up. I think I’m okay with this change.

Just curious, does this have any effect on your marijuana intake?

Not really. My recreational intake is honestly very low to begin with, and always through some sort of filter. And it’s actually because of weed that I’ve started eating the healthier foods more reliably. Healthy things I just didn’t like or had some psychological aversion to were on my “to try” list when high.

Weed certainly isn’t a health product, but I’ve lost a solid 10 pounds since I started smoking and I have to wear a belt now with all my jeans which were previously a little tight. And unlike the anti-depressants and stimulants I’ve been put on in the past by prescription, it helps ease the autism without the weight gain and extreme depression/suicidal thoughts that Welbutrin and company created.

I don’t have any plans to increase my intake, but definitely no plans to stop. I smoke as much as I need to smoke, which isn’t much, fortunately for me. That and stoners, like hippies, annoy the hell out of me despite the fact we share a lot of attitudes and ideals.

I think I may be lazy and turn this comment into a full post!

Fair enough. Personally I only do 1 or 2 cones a week, on separate occasions, or none at all. The stuff I get is pretty strong, so that’s enough for me. I don’t want to, nor can I afford, to get stoned everyday. For depression it’s defiantly better than alcohol.

Funny story tho, last Saturday I greened out after one (pretty packed, admittedly) cone and its taken me almost a week to fully recover. I was on the floor for an hour, couldn’t talk or even move my eyes otherwise I would have spewed. Defiantly didn’t realize how strong it was.
