Same old song from me...still sick. Off & on fever, sore throat, dry cough, respiratory junk starting, back of lungs hurting, ribs in front hurting.

Supreme guilt over not exercising. ED thoughts everywhere though I am tending to get some nausea, limiting my eating.

How is everyone else?

Who else dreads the New Year's Resolution time with everyone resolving to lose weight? Commercials already going on the TV each break the station I'm watching lately I feel stupid for not jumping on the diet, better food bandwagon though I know logically I need to gain weight, not lose it, definitely not diet or exercise more.

My Facebook feed gets clogged with weight loss stuff all January: diets, calories eaten, workout plans, amount worked out, calories burned, goal weights, "bad" foods (well, they call them things to resist like carbs, gluten, meat, etc.). It is so triggering. But one of my sisters only posts her info there (that's where her inlaws can read about what's going on, how my 2 nephews are doing, me too). She mostly doesn't diet but sometimes does.

I will make my New Year's Resolution to not overspend money (in bipolar, this always happens to me in hypomania, full mania) and to call my pdoc when I start getting hypomanic unless I have an appt. in a day or 2 because I can jump from hypomanic to full manic fast, with no prediction.

Anyone else have a New Year's resolution not involving ED stuff? You can have 2, should you need to lose weight, not binge, exercise, eat better, just a non-food weight related resolution?
