PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: Finances, discipline, bi polar disorder
WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: my bi polar medications are working like a charm which allows me to be more positive and happy overall. This leads to less whining and complaining about what I CAN'T eat and more focus and planning on what I can.
I still have the financial issues though so I'm eating lots of chicken. LOL
