I've changed a lot like stopped pot and Alchohal and other drugs like xanex or adderall but the first time I was on it I was smoking pot and drinking with friends while high on meth all the time I don't smoke cigarettes anymore I switched to vaporizer and I been working almost every day why am I fatter and not loosing weight when I started back up again the first two quarters I got my gut shrank a little haven't eaten all day shrank I didn't smoke for a few days and after that I started to gain weight when I got more

Holy shit, use some punctuation man! Are you actually gaining weight or does your body just look "fatter"? It could be water weight, but more likely your body is just accumulating fat in certain areas because you're not eating properly and not exercising enough or at all. (Meth)amphetamine might make you lose weight, but if you're not forcing yourself to eat, take vitamins, exercise, etc. you'll probably get incredibly hungry and start eating junk when you come down/stop using. It's simply not an effective or healthy way to lose weight. If you're interested in losing weight in a healthy way, look into nutrition, diet, and exercise instead of expecting a drug to do the magic.

This is just so interesting to me. I'd really like to learn more about your situation. Perhaps you could elaborate? I don't know for sure, maybe it's just your wonderful knack for storytelling but I simply must read more!

I'm not doing it to loose weight I'm doing it to get high and Idk if I'm gaining weight or looks like I am but I eat normal food like last night we had chicken casserole I ate a little of that and I usually only drink a bottle or two of water a day

You must be incredibly deprived of nutrients and dehydrated. You could be seeing a combination of selective water retention and loss of muscle mass as a result. You need to change up your lifestyle or face drastic health-consequences, if I understand your description of it correctly. Anorexics tend to be mired with health issues, and you're putting yourself through something similar.

Sounds psychological actually, despite what the other posters are said. Have you weighed yourself? Taken measurements? Taken a body-fat percentage measurement with calipers? If not, I suggest you do, pronto! Why? Because meth and other stimulants are notorious for causing distortions of visual appearance in your mind. What you see in the mirror is NOT what you actually look like, especially on meth! Look-up body dysmorphic disorder, I'd say you qualify.

There are times I look in the mirror and think I look super hot, other times I think I look shitty, but on meth, I ALWAYS become obsessive with my appearance, once spending almost an hour shaving my face which lead to quite a lot of razor bumps and some cuts, because meth really makes you hyperfocus on details in an insane way. I'd avoid mirrors when tweaking.

Unless you've changed your diet or exercise regimen massively, I doubt it is that.

I gained weight on adderall because when I came down I binged on chips and shit. It was weird but it want water weight or anything I was legit chubby and it sucked. Part of it is you feel active on speed but your generally just fielding porn in a chair or some shit all day.

Man, I know exactly how you feel. I was down to 262lbs, leaner than my whole life, muscles were starting to cut up in definition and all of a sudden, something happened with the crank.
instead of continuing to drop weight, my body went the other way and fast. I smoked every day for as long as I hdca supply. I went from 262lbs to 302 in a month, at 324 I put the shit down.
it wasn't supposed to be like that.
I figured out eventually what happened and no matter what I try, when I smoke, it doesn't help.
Most crave sweets, well I brushed my teeth 6 times a day and went through 4 gallons of mouthwash to avoid meth mouth from the sweets.
I've always like Reeses cups, but I binged while high, basically I was tweaking on food. i wasn't hungry, I just ate to keep a sweet taste in my mouth, 8 big kitkats is a lot of calories and that stopped then went to the big cups.

I couldn't keep busy enough to burn off so those calories and then my body slept. As if not high even though I could smoke a whole bowl alone, once I laid down, my eyes would close as one of the old baby dolls with closing eyes. I'm still like that. I don't binge as much but, I can eat like normal, sleep like normal even if the pattern is off.
