Since a lot of us struggle with our weights because of bipolar meds I thought it would be great to start a weight loss journey thread!
I'll start: My journey just started. My current weight loss goal is fifteen pounds. I blame 400mg of seroquel on my weight gain. Current meds that are supposed to help with my weight are metformin and topamax, though I don't think either are working very well. My diet is mostly vegan/vegetarian. For breakfast I just had a cheese stick, an apple, a banana, and a fourth cup of walnuts. __________________ The darkest of nights is followed by the brightest of days. 😊 - anonymous The night belongs to you. 🌙- sleep token "I'm scared.

I'm trying to lose weight as well. I've gained a lot since my abilify and thorazine were increased. I have a problem with eating too many sweets so I'm trying to cut them out cause when they're around I just end up bingeing on them.
For breakfast today I had oatmeal, lunch is probably gonna be some chicken pasta I made with peas on the side. Dinner I'm not sure yet, maybe instant ramen, yes I know instant ramen is not exactly the healthiest but it's what I have in the house at the moment I need to go grocery shopping on Saturday. Snack will be plain Greek yogurt and some almonds. I need to probably cook up some sweet potatoes I have for tomorrows dinner. __________________ “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” -St. Francis of Assisi

I have a problem with binging on sweets too when they're around, which is why they're rarely around. We did buy a shyt ton of Halloween candy last night for tonight though. 🌙 Lord help me! There goes my diet. My husband was like, "So... are you going to have fun eating candy tonight?" And my response was, "Yeah. I'll have a lot of fun getting fatter!" He said back, "So we'll get fat together." Lol. We had to buy candy. It's the first year our daughter is too old for us to take her out trick or treating, and none of her friends wanted to go. And besides that, it's supposed to rain all day. Lunch for me is probably going to be pita and hummus dip at the coffee shop when I go there with my therapist. And dinner will most likely be chili. Snack will be grape tomatoes and cucumber slices. __________________ The darkest of nights is followed by the brightest of days. 😊 - anonymous The night belongs to you. 🌙- sleep token "I'm scared.

I’m gonna try something new, eating breakfast. But I haven’t started yet. So today I had my usual chai latte, using oat milk.
