Learning healthy eating with help from medical marijuana
I have had some form of eating disorder for most of my life.
Growing up in a household where appearance was everything, I l earned early that food was the enemy.
Thankfully, I have the help and support of a therapist along with medical marijuana to help me learn what should have been natural. My body proportions were just not suitable for my mom when I was young. She felt that I was just too giant so the only thing I could do was to not eat. This did not change my body type but simply introduced me to the shame that ultimately led to a bad eating disorder. It got so awful by the time I made it to school, that I actually spent time in a hospital. I was so malnourished and dehydrated that my health was terrible. Still, I went right back to the old behavior of starving, binging and purging because it’s what I knew. Finally, a dentist got me in with the therapist I see now. And she has helped me to learn that an appetite is a fantastic thing. Medical marijuana is part of my regimen. Cannabis products have helped me to develop, guess and embrace a healthy appetite. And I have l earned just how to feed my body the fantastic food it craves as well. The therapist I see also was instrumental in helping me get through the cannabis regulations so I could get access to the cannabis dispensary. I’m so thankful to be discovering just what healthy living is like. And I owe a lot of the progress to medical marijuana.
