My gym, having none of anyone's fatlogic. Consider my membership renewed.

I agree with you to an extent.

I've always struggled with insane munchies especially because smoking marijuana is one of the only things that helps me not commit suicide. Also because the anxiety and emotional roller coasters I go through every day due to my mental illness, I've always had issues with appetite control because what I go through is so taxing on my body. Just existing feels like hard work. I'm struggling daily to eat only as much as I need but I almost always give in in the evening and eat way too much food.

So I do have other priorities here. I used to be skinny and militant about my weight(anorexic/bulimic) but now I'm just trying to survive. Giving up pot would save me 500-1000 calories a day in munchies I don't have to deal with. If you knew what I was going through you'd agree my priorities should be trying to find help for my mental health issues, so that I can stop relying on weed, so I can stop having munchies, and then it would be a lot easier for me to lose the weight. Especially since I already eat very healthy and am addicted to running; I eat good foods, just too much of them a lot of the time.

Yet I'm nowhere close to obese, I could stand to lose about 10-15 lbs as my BMI is about 23 now. I'm not sure very many people would blame me for just trying to exist without making losing that weight a priority because I'm extremely healthy still and unless I start rapidly gaining weight there's no issue. However, if I were 400 pounds I would say that my main problem would be my weight and that would have to become one of my biggest priorities because at that point the weight could easily kill me.
