Smothered in butter not sugar

I struggle with depression. My diagnosis though is schizoaffective bipolar type. I've been in a depressed episode since about September. My eating has been everywhere.

Congratulations! That's a lot to do, and it is thrilling that you enjoyed all of it as well! You're doing wonderful.

Gardening can really be hard work. That other work you did helped you to be capable of doing all that heavy lifting. Great job!

A pound lost is still a pound or as a friend told me once, it's four sticks of butter. :wink: You are absolutely right about knowing you're weighing in with others that helps to give motivation. I'm in a challenge with a team where my weight-loss can impact our rankings resulting in a stern focus for me. It helps me to…

Look at your food choices as well for causes of pain. There are some that can cause inflammation that make pain worse. One thing that was suggested to me, and worked, was setting out a set amount of food that I want and putting the rest away. Once I eat that, I'm done. So, for my pretzel sticks I count out 41 sticks (1…

Mood is absolutely impacted by sunlight. If you think it is then look into getting an LED full spectrum sunlight bulb for each room in the house. As for cold temps, it gets pretty cold here removing most outdoor trips unless it is one of our weird days where it's in the sixties or upper fifties. I have a small apartment,…

Thank you both. I managed to get through without a binge. I counted out the 41 pretzel sticks to a serving and stuck with them. Calorie wise I ended up right where I needed to be. You are right about how I react to this one impacting the next one and on it goes forming a cycle. Thank you both.

I have hypo as well. I don't know of any specific for it other than hypothyroidism. Mine was caused by lithium. I was recently put on it again in February and it again left its mark on my thyroid. I am losing weight with a fair amount of effort, but getting there.

I have a MAJOR Non-Scale Victory today - I did two rounds of running for eight minutes with a two minute rest in between them. At every two-minute interval I'd say okay, we'll see in just two more minutes about walking; then, I'd decided to go another two minutes until the 8-minute free form run was done. I can't believe…

I take the generic of synthroid (levothyroxine). My issue was caused by taking lithium off and on for seventeen years. Talk to your pharmacist about any other medications you are taking for interactions of the medicine and with the thyroid. They tend to know more about the pills than the doctors. My pharmacist has twice…

A little bit about me: I have a form of schizophrenia combined with bipolar resulting in a merry-go-round of medications over the years, most with the side effect of weight gain. One medication, lithium, destroyed my thyroid, and I just learned that from the short period I was back on it again at the start of this year…
