    You no longer are carrying a secret as you have been open and honest here. You show bravery and honesty. The first step ( I believe) is being real with ourselves. You are on your way little miss by being real and asking for support.

    welcome to MFP
    I wish you a speedy recovery. Focus on your health, that is your first priority.
    I recommend you read MFP "Most Helpful Post" at the beginning of this message board
    here is a link
    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10300331/most-helpful-posts-getting-started-must-reads#latest
    Buy yourself a food scale, weigh everything you ingest, log it at MFP
    If you eat at a deficit ( calories burned higher than calories ingested), your weight will decrease
    All the best for you <3

    Hi Little Miss Ljb! I am 38, trying to lose weight, and struggle with bipolar. So we have several things in common! I have found that exercise and getting enough sleep really help me to keep a good mood and even keel. My husband also helps, as he has become my workout partner. Blessings to you on your journey!
