I injured my back and had great difficulty leaving my bed for a long time. As a result, I stopped adequately feeding myself. Previously I would eat three meals a day, including one between midnight and 2am (when my family was asleep). Getting from my bed to the kitchen involved going down and coming back up a flight of stairs, which was a major ask with my injury.

As a result, besides a few non perishable snacks I kept on my nightstand, I ended up pretty much just eating what my wife was available to prepare and bring to me. She is loving and caring. I literally don’t know what I would or even could have done without her support. However, we have a kid and my wife has a life, so she wasn’t always around when I was hungry; in general, that meant I was mostly eating one full meal a day. It was not uncommon for me to have under 1000 calories.

I’m not exactly sure of the timeframe (or what I weigh now), but I lost thirty pounds.

Yeah well the drugs in question are cigarettes and weed. And the weight lost was mostly muscles. /s in case anyone couldn’t tell Would not recommend a permanent nerve injury just to fucking lose some weight
