Having my rent covered
Okay so here is the honesty part.. I have messed up big time with my eating. Been eating too little through the day and once again too much at night. I have found a coralation between my moods and food. When I am down I eat to sooth, when my mood elevates I feel like I can eat anything with the false sence that it does not matter. Both of these are not helpful in trying to reach my weight goal. I am proud that I have discovered this and that it is another challenge that I must find a way to correct these issues before I end up in another pit.
However I know this is fixable and I will fix these issues.
On a differnt note I would like to share a post I put up on the mental health alliance group.. I would love if anyone could give me their thoughts on it. " my brain may misfire, be filled with confused thoughts, and create up and down emotions.. But at it's core lays creativity, intelligence and strength "
Wishing everyone a satisfying and safe Saturday.

I love your quote, Pam, and the quote itself is a great example of your creativity, intelligence and strength. I work in mental health so I might quote you on it! Hope today's a better day. Yesterday was kind of haphazard for my eating too... was too stressed to eat a real meal so I just snacked all night. Interesting thoughts on the connection between your bipolar and your eating- I know you will tackle this challenge with your intelligence, creativity and strength!

I am honoured that you will use my quote. I believe it is all part of inspiring others who struggle with mental health issues.
Thank you!

I empathize and sympathize with you so often when Fat Secret members tell you to stop thinking. It must be tough with your disorder to take that unwarranted advice. How does one stop thoughts? I am not too familiar with bi polar disorder so I am in no position to offer advice of any kind. But joining that particular group must have exact measurable benefits. Good luck! Miss you! Sorry I have not been around lately.

W4.. You support me during many phases through your encouragement and understanding. I could not ask for more.

Also - unrelated - perhaps - But - many of us possess some OCD like traits that are tough to reel in. My husband has learned to tolerate my quirks and idiosyncracies wherein I do things like lining up restaurant flatware, cleaning already spotless countertops, and re-arranging hotel furniture to cope with stress - but others are not so kind. The workplace is a site for laid back co workers who scoff and jest at anal retentive behaviors. Deep breaths help. Love ya!
