I've been on bipolar meds for over 12 months now & gained 10kgs. Have started a plan to lose 5kgs in 12 weeks. But I feel like I'm starving all the time & have trouble sticking to the plan. So I've been trying to eat whole foods, no processed, only. But I think I still eat too much to lose the weight. I exercise too. Wondering if I should focus on just not gaining any more...
Anything else work for you? Thanks

hi - most of the meds are for my schizophrenia. i have been around the mental health hill since i was 20 years old. just yesterday i saw my psychiatrist and they said that i have to keep my meds the same.
i am trying to get my food/diet sorted out. i hope i will get myself out of the dark
