I’ve struggled with my weight since being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1995. I certainly had weight issues before that, but there were small time compared to what I’ve been through in the past 10 years.<\/p>\n
Statistics show that those of us with severe mental illnesses die a LOT earlier than those without an illness. When I heard this, I said, ok. That’s not going to be me! I’ve written about this on the blog before. I have found that a low carb diet is working well for me in terms of my sugar cravings and my up and down weight.\u00a0 I’ve lost a lot of the weight I gained last year after taking Serequel.<\/p>\n
Here is a book that can give you more information on this way of eating. It’s not really a diet as it’s life long.
\nThe Carbohydrate Addict’s Diet: The Lifelong Solution to Yo-Yo Dieting<\/p>\n
Definitely leave your comments on what works for you!<\/p>\n
My goal is to be at my gorgeous, healthy\u00a0weight by this time next year. I can’t keep going up and down every six months. It’s not healthy and it’s not fun! I will keep you posted on my progress.<\/p>\n
