bipolar?
Ok, so I'm bipolar. And right now I'm semi-manic about this whole weight loss thing, because I found MFP and I love logging everything and seeing how well I've been doing. But what happens when I hit a downward slump? I always do . . . I'm more depressive than manic; I would've been diagnosed with dysthymic disorder had it…

Massages
I was wondering if anybody else here gets a massage on a regular basis. I scheduled an appointment for one tomorrow night. I know massages help relieve stress and loosen up muscles that are tight. I'm asking because the last massage I had was over two years ago.

Sleep apnea
Just came from a lunch seminar on obstructive sleep apnea. I've known for a long time that sleep apnea causes hypertension(high blood pressure) and had a causal link to atrial fibrillation (strong suspicion but no formal study results to prove it). Well, the study results are coming very close to publication that indeed…

Therapy
Since my insurance kicks in next week, I was seriously considering going to a therapist. I have issues and I usually deal with depression and sadness by focusing on my weight. Losing weight gets to be my main source of happiness and by this being so I become EXTREMELY obsessive. If that scale does not go down my world…

Sleep, Sleep, Sleep, Sleep!
A good night sleep is MORE important that eating right or exercising!!! If you're not sleeping good and you're tired all day your body craves more calories to keep going! Get sleep deprived and you'll be wanting to eat all day! Then you still won't have the energy to exercise! I think some times we get so focused on…
