Is going to the gym an option? I'm trying to get a contract because my meds mess w/ my weight. I hope I can get a mind over matter instinct. I have stopped eating ice cream, and replaced it with apples. I could go into my healthy diet details, but some of the things like 'tons of bean sprouts' will make people sick. =)
> I am having a huge problem being med compliant. I hate being fat so I don't stick with meds. Then, I add trouble to the mix by being off meds and taking diet pills to lose weight - which works for a little while until I get manic.

> Then, 2-3 times a year my allergies get so bad that I get steriods shots which through me into mania - but make my allergies go away.

> Why can't I just accept that I won't be able to control my hunger and appetite and that I'll be overweight (probably get diabetes) and be med compliant?
