    I literally never feel hunger due to a rare non-body image related eating disorder. (ARFID, look it up, it’s fun.)

    One odd thing though- when I use cannabis, my brain tells me to have food even though I don’t feel hunger.

      My wife has ARFID, and it’s so hard on her. That’s so interesting that you don’t feel hunger, she definitely does but has a very very small list of safe foods she wants.

        ARFID seems to be a “we have no idea what to call this, but the therapy seems to work most of the time” disorder.
