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.

The power of munchies transcends eating disorders

  At least mine. Too bad it most often affects children or it might be quite helpful.

I have that too! I could go days without eating if I don't make an effort. I even have a personal rule that if I haven't eaten by 2p, I have to stop whatever I'm doing and eat. However, if I exercise, my appetite kicks in, so it's best that I have an exercise regiment if I want to stay eating regular.

  I set alarms so I can eat.

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.
