I teach water exercise at the YWCA and am the largest instructor there. It is difficult to be part of a health organization and not be healthy yourself. I feel very conflicted. I also have bipolar disorder and have gained 30 pounds since August 8th. I wrestle with depression and the medications that control my manic periods which tend to add to my weight gain.

Add me as a friend. We can help each other. I am also bipolar and my meds don't make it any easier to loose weight. Although my main problem is keeping myself motivated. I have gone up and down with my weight. I was at my goal weight a while back but went back to my old ways and have gained back 20 of the 70 I lost.

Please feel free to add me! I really appreciate having support, and I try my best to be very supportive of others as well.0
