Without smoking I am 10 times more hungry. I have a new diet I think I can stick to. It is pretty much what AIM gave me with a few additions. I will eat fish as my main protein. I will have red meat a couple times a week. I will now include a lot more nuts, fruit and vegetables. I am having one portion shake a day that I will kick up to two. I have also shifted my weed usage to an hour before bed this way I do not binge. I am not discouraged any longer, I am accepting and will continue to put forth my efforts. It is what it is, I am not where I want to be right now but I will be eventually. I am so used to mania kicking in and loosing 100 pounds in a month but I need to face reality now. I am now properly medicated where I will not get manic as long as I stay on my medication. In this I need to realize that I am the same as anyone with weight loss, it will take time, dedication and hard work...there is no 100 pound loss happening in a month any longer, I think realistically to lose to 40 pounds I should give myself 4 months.
