went off the diet last night
I went off my diet last night. I had not had a drink for a month - and yesterday
I just decided to buy some beer and dried mango. The dried mango was an indulgence
too but not as bad as the beer. I bought a six pack of Peroni - and drank 3 beers.
I won't drink the others until maybe next week and the week after.
I was wondering what you guys would think if we created a post on the BP board -
or even a whole new group ABOUT MANAGING WEIGHT GAIN WHILE ON PSYCH MEDS..?
I know a lot of us struggle with that - I am wondering if you think you would want to
commiserate and inspire each other towards weight loss and weight management goals?
Just thoughts!!!

I think that’s a good idea! I know I participated in something like that on the old old DS. It was helpful....
My trouble with dieting, as I’ve worked with my therapist, is I develop unhealthy eating disorder tendencies (due to things in the past.). I’ve used nutrition apps in recent years to measure everything and count and I got obsessive over it. And when I hit hypomania the first thing that happens is not have any desire to eat. It’s good to check in with peers on some of these things. The weight gain is frustrating, for sure! Finding a good fitness regime is what I’m focusing on, and having a healthy relationship with eating and cooking and not overdoing it. Or undergoing it.
thanks Nikki!
