Hiya whatever2013. I haven't seen if there was some debate on this topic, but I am perfectly fine with people calling such efforts in a way that feels fine/right to them. So "diet", "lifestyle change", "healthy living journey", or "George" is all fine with me. By the way, does anyone here know what I meant by "George"? Hint: Looney Tunes.
When it comes to losing weight, and getting into better physical and mental shape, in terms of wellness, doing our best is worth a lot. Doing our best is the best we can do.

I can say that support is nearly always crucial for me to maintain a better eating and exercise regimen. I've been willing and happy to support you, and others, the whole time. I truly think that people with bipolar disorder have some special issues when it comes to such endeavors. For that reason, I enjoy when such discussions are here.
