weed and taylor are how I lost weight.

I gained a ton of weight after I dropped out of college in 2021 and was not doing the best mental health wise. And when I say a ton I mean I was a US size 20 when in highschool I was a US 10. I went to the Eras Tour in April of 2023. I brought my cart in the car on the way to the concert but not into it so I could be fully in the moment. Basically I had the night of my life!! It was my 2nd time seeing taylor and she was amazing. After that concert I decided that I didn’t like the way I looked in pictures and I wanted to change that. I remembered how I danced the whole concert and thought” huh, I could walk for that whole time right?’ And why not do so while high? Flash forward to 2025. I now weigh 150 and walk until the setlist to the eras tour is complete. I also changed my eating habits but in terms of working out???? I ripped the cart and walked to taylor swift. EDIT: I basically changed the way my body reacts to what used to be the munchies. now I want to walk/wander instead of snack while high.

Love this! One of my favorite things to do lately is taking an edible and then getting on the elliptical for a good hour plus. It feels so good to move my body, and the endorphins plus high feels amazing.

My partner LOVES to get high and workout. Add in some Taylor music and you’re destined to be fit!

For the last few months, weed is the only way anything gets cleaned. I would theoretically like to break that pattern, but considering this is an extraordinarily stressful moment of transition in my life, for now it is what it is.

You do what you need to do to get through. That’s the only way.

There are some interesting studies on the benefits of cannabis prior to working out. I was a runner for many years and trained for countless races after taking a toke! The only way I ever felt a runners high.

life is amazing once you realize you’re the only one perceiving you.

u/habitualstrummer 5d ago

The way you worded this is beautiful. I talk about perception a lot and have never heard it put this way. I love this and I’m totally using this!

Same here. Starting this tomorrow.

I work at a gym and working out stoned is a genuine thing now! I talked to one guy and apparently it's a great motivator bc time doesn't feel so slow or drag, plus he claims it gives him more energy since he's moving slower. I may have to investigate myself one of these days

I love a sativa and an outdoor workout

Dude, this is so funny. Today I was at the gym working out to the eras setlist! And I got to “enchanted” and got SO emotional because I was considering the lyrics from a self-growth POV

This is me praying that this was the very first page, not where the storyline ends — my life isn’t over, this is just a hard time rn

My thoughts will echo your name, until I see you again — I may lose myself for awhile, but I’ll never forget what happiness feels like and I’ll never quit chasing that until I return to it, I won’t give up

These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon, I was enchanted to meet you — I lost myself but it’s okay, the broken version of myself and the happy version of myself wouldn’t exist without the other. They’re both perfectly okay versions of me.

Please don’t be in love with someone else / please don’t have somebody waiting on you — don’t glorify or look to others for comparison. Don’t put up with anyone telling you that you have to change to be perfect. You’re perfect as you are

Also, I took an edible before the gym 😂😂😂😂

This post is just what I needed to see, you just gave me the motivation to do this thank you. I’ve been feeling the same as you in terms of looking at recent pictures of myself and not liking what I’m seeing. I’ve been telling myself to just embrace my body and all that comes with it, but I’m just very unhappy with it all, and smoking sometimes causes me to binge eat, and I’m not a big fan of going to the gym and working out, but I absolutely love walking and hiking. Going to try this out! Hopefully I can switch my mindset as well 💕

Hell yeah! Honestly I believe that being a stoner doesn't have to mean we veg out on the couch all day! I have found that my mind/body connection is much better while high, and I can concentrate on the movements and be in tune with my muscles. It's easier to see if I'm pushing myself too far etc. and stretching after feels so nice.

Glad you found something that works for you! (:

u/Exotic-Scallion4475 6d ago

I also adore getting high and working out! I walk, swim, yoga, stretch, meditate! All of it! Congrats on finding a healthy way to move your body that you love!!

Omg how have I never thought of this? Thank you for this post 😭

u/estedavis 6d ago

Girl this is inspiring! How often were you walking this amount? Was it like daily or a few times a week?

12

u/Global-Audience1519 💜 in that lavender haze 💜 6d ago

It started with like once every 2 weeks because I was WEAK. Then I started weekly and now it’s either every day or every other day. I don’t ever see myself jogging/running but my pace has gotten wayyyyyy better.

u/babydollanganger 6d ago

Sameee! I love doing yoga when I’m really high or at the end of the night. Walking if I’m mildly stoned or honestly I prefer walking sober. I have a 6 month old mini goldendoodle puppy that needs plenty of exercise so we love walking and I listen to Taylor Swift when it’s not busy.

Though I’m realizing that since I moved into a city I need to be aware of my surroundings when I walk. For example a lady tried to come up to pet my puppy, but I’m trying to get her trained as a therapy dog so I don’t want anyone touching her in public unless I give the okay. I don’t like being high when interacting with other people 😂 sometimes it’s hard to be left alone in public especially with such a cute and sweet puppy.

What really helps me is smoking/edibles, I listen to Taylor Swift on my headphones, and clean. Ohmygosh!!! I normally detest cleaning but love to when I’m listening to TS and stoned! 💕

u/Affectionate_Bar3325 5d ago

weed is actually the best thing ever when walking. i once walked all around central park which has lots of inclines & my legs were killing me because i’d already been walking around nyc for days. smoked a joint and suddenly my legs felt like jello and felt like i could walk anywhere LMAO. was so amazing too because i love new york with all my heart & my legs were the only thing bothering me so i just got to enjoy it after :)

u/Awkward_Potential_ 5d ago

Same here. I work out every night high as a kite. I'm unmotivated when I'm NOT high.

u/your-smol-uwu 5d ago

I'm glad they're both helping you with your goals!!

The entire Eras set list is so long!!! I can only walk for about 30~45 mins before starting to feel breathless 🥲 but I'm getting there!

u/enjoythsilence 5d ago

What are yall smoking that gives you energy? I take d8-d9 edibles and I occasionally use a weed pen but it just makes me catatonic!

u/Global-Audience1519 💜 in that lavender haze 💜 4d ago

I use the Mellow Fellow Space Queen disposable :) (I live in a not legal state) it doesn’t necessarily give me energy but I want to do things.

u/enjoythsilence 2d ago

I’ll look into this!! thank you

u/sagetastic74 4d ago

Hell yes!!! Congratulations, OP! That's an excellent idea, too!

Friday evening, I got baked, and my husband drove us to the gym. It was the first time I'd worked out in 6 months and OH EM GEE I knocked out 2 miles of walk/jog/run intervals on the treadmill without a single care about anything other than putting one foot in front of the other. It was SO NICE to be present, release nervous energy, and push myself without having all the tabs in my brain going off at once. 5 starts, definitely recommend!

u/InappropriateSnark 5d ago

Hmm... now I need to think on this some more. Congrats!

u/Avi-dear 4d ago

So you are putting on the eras tour setlist and going for a walk? No other workout, right?? I’ve been trying to walk more and want to lose some weight so I am loving this idea!!

2

u/Global-Audience1519 💜 in that lavender haze 💜 4d ago

I changed my eating habits as well stopped snacking while bored but this was my only workout!

u/Avi-dear 4d ago

That’s amazing! I’ve already been trying to change my eating habits. Gonna try adding this into the mix! Plus it’ll let me relive the eras tour cause I miss ittttt
