Hi, I am a former D1 level athlete and I've struggled with being bipolar for a little more than a year now. Along with the bipolar symptoms, I have struggled with my weight. Right now, I am around 30 pounds more than I usually am. I've been keeping a food journal and exercising. I do very well during the day. However, several times a week I mindlessly go to the kitchen and pig out during the night. This kills any gains I make by eating well and exercise. I don't know why I do this. Maybe my meds increase my appetite and during the night I lose control and self discipline to not eat? I don't know. I only know that I want this to stop. I don't keep unhealthy food in my house either. I need to overcome night eating before I can really get my old body back. Any advice from you all?
