Bi Polar weight loss

clydethecat

i'm wondering if there are any other bi polars that find it hard to lose weight. i take three medications that either hinder weight loss or promote weight gain. over the last year i allowed myself to get grossly overweight. i can blame it on the meds to a certain point, but really, the problem is my addiction to ben & jerrys. i know i can lose weight by changing my lifestyle, moving more, eating less. i'm done blaming my disorder or the meds for how much i've let myself go.

i'm motivated to change my life. the meds help my mood, so i'm doing much better there. now i have to work on my body. its not so much that i want to lose weight. really i want to feel healthy, i dont want to get winded doing household chores. so i'm looking for any friends who can be a support, and who i can be a support too.

thank you
