Eating healthy can be delicious
This was my lunch today. One slice of garlic naan, 2 mini cucumbers, and 4 slices of garlic summer sausage dipped in garlic dill hummus. It was delicious and satisfying. I've also got some bell peppers for snacking.

Quick Tip Thursday: New Diets Need Medical Consultation
Make sure your diet is compatible with your individual healthcare needs before starting a new diet to manage diabetes. Food allergies or food intolerances, as well as treatment-related conditions that require the restriction or avoidance of certain foods, should be taken into consideration.

Thought of the Day, Sunday November 27
Work towards good Physical Health, how much you weigh doesn't matter. But what matters is a balanced diet. Do you feel your to thin or overweight? Who cares at this point, just eat 3 balanced meals per day. That will keep the pain and agony away. This diet will help your mental health balanced & contributes about 45% to your overall health. #MentalHealth #physicalhealth #diet

As someone with #Bipolar2Disorder I find it hard to stay motivated to eat healthy. That impacts my #Health and weight. I like cooking but I'm not quite motivated because my wife has a #ChronicIlless and doesn't usually have an appetite.

Struggles with caffeine/aspartame/sugar on your moods?
I have struggled for years with #diet cola sodas and chocolate. On again, off again. Also with compulsive eating since childhood. The overeating numbs but takes me to depression. The caffeine gives me a lot of pep and numbs anxiety initially, but then takes me to such high levels of anxiety that I feel barely able to stand it. Then I do it all over again day after day because I am addicted to it.
The sugar and caffeine affect my sleep. I know of many studies indicating that aspartame is very bad for our brains and bodies, as well as having a laxative effect, which also may mean that I'm not absorbing my psychiatric meds as much as I need to, as well as regular nutrition. I drink a lot of it, and I'm really afraid to 100% accept all of this within myself because I don't know how to let go.
The cravings and loneliness and depression...my mental health struggles started very young, and have gotten worse with age. There was a time for 2 years when I ate 3 meals a day, no chocolate, no sugar, did have diet soda but less than I do now. Rarely had depression then, but after two years of doing OK I started to go downhill over period of weeks and went into an outpatient program to get back on my feet.
I was also in very difficult perimenopause, and insomnia started then and has continued. It's been a mess, and holding down jobs have always been up and down with the depression and mood swings.
If you struggle with these, what helps you? How do you deal with intense cravings and loneliness and lack of sleep when even a CPAP machine and you don't work well together, and you've tried therapy and groups and classes etc to help with those aspects of mental health? I always take my meds as prescribed.
I would more than love to hear your shares. Thank you for listening and any experiences you can share.

Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut (and maybe a little fruity, too!)
Eating healthy is so incredibly important, whether we’re struggling with massively stressful circumstances or not. Today’s creation is BOCA veggie burger crumbles stir fried with diced pineapple and mango, some craisins and a tangy peanut butter sauce, over a lush bed of spinach leaves. Quick, easy and healthy on a hot day! 😋🥵🌞

Not Doing Good #Anxiety #OCD #Depression #panicdisorder #diet
I'm not going to write a long post, because no one wants to hear it. I'm in Denny's, because I got up late, couldn't think of anywhere cheap to eat, but this was a mistake. I want to avoid salt and sugar more, but I feel like I need some sugar to wake up, and juice isn't bottomless, so I can't get it. I ordered chicken strips or whatever they are, but I don't want them. Broccoli and wild rice as sides. I couldn't finish pooping before I left, as usual, so I don't feel good. I never feel like I can empty myself. It's so hot in here! What's up with that?
My anxiety is high and I want to cry, my nerves are so bad. My boyfriend didn't pick up my Xanax yesterday, so I have to wait till tonight. He does this often, and tells me to "ration."
I'm so lonely. I never feel good. My boyfriend is always snapping and yelling at me. A lot of it is about my OCD, which only makes me worse, but other things, too. I'm tired of leaking, wetting the bed, and having urge incontinence. I'm tired of being yelled at for trying to make myself feel better. I miss my cats. I hate being in the motel.
And there's so much more I can say, but I'm keeping this short (somewhat), as I said I would.
