( I know how to do it up) True story. It usualky starts with some kind of celebration when it starts, a birthday party, vacation with relatives, graduation party, etc...and spirals out of control.he proof is in the pudding...Literally. I am careful of what I eat, some days I fall off the wagon....and go into a gluttonous, out of control, manic chocolate crazed eating bipolar ice cream lunatic....it only happens when I eat wrong. I mostly stick to herbs, chicken, greens, and pay d arcovteas, greens, fish, Omegas, B’s, vitamins, and nutrients. No problems, depression or god awful anxiety, insomnia, etc.... as long as I eat clean.

I slmost never eat out, no soda, chips, donuts, cereal, breads, alcohol, sugar, dairy, grease, etc....no gas station foods, pizza, hotdogs, hamburgers or condiments. Boring life? No...I do not suffer from fatigue, depression, hormone, or debilitating anxiety like I use to. If I start feeling unusual stress levels, anger, sadness...I look at what I’ve eaten in the last few days...and combat it with healthy anti fungals, herbs and pay d’ arcovtea...the effects are immediate relief...and to get the he junk out of my system. Diet is the underlying root of how well we function, deal with stress, and how healthy our minds are. Eat clean...can’t stress it enough.

Hi Colorado, I just got introduced to Kevin Hines who is bipolar, via a television segment I watched yesterday. I looked him up and he is my new hero. His message is related to mental illness and suicide but you may find some insight in his message for your own reasons. I sure did. He reminded me I am responsible for my own actions and thoughts. I needed to be reminded of that right now.

Yeah, because of my food allergies I have to leave all that junk food alone. I can't even have it in my house. I wouldn't consider what I can eat as boring. I can have hot dogs, pizza, hamburgers, etc but I have to eat clean, organic meats with no fillers or acid washes, fresh vegetables and prepare everything myself. It's a bit more work, but well worth it.

On the positive side Breyer's Natural Vanilla ice cream has limited ingredients, not all that stuff in it. And Hershey's is making a chocolate syrup now with only 5 ingredients. But that might be to tempting for you to keep around the house.

Starman, lol, you are taking me back a few years.
