Hi,


I do not understand why we ascribe morality to food or to our behavior. We are not better people because we ate this or did not eat that. I am not racking up points toward an "A" by doing certain things correctly.
Food is not bad. Food is not good either. We can free ourselves from moral judgements here.

Sunshine is good except when it is not. If we get too much sunshine and get a sunburn do we say that we were bad? No. We had more than was appropriate.
We make choices based on what other things are going on.
Our food can be part of a plan that we have that fits in with our other plans.

More importantly, HELLO, most of us are 1) bipolar and 2) on meds for bipolar. We do not normally say that our drugs are bad or how we take them is good or bad.
We are doing what we can.

Sometimes, due to the bipolar and the meds, we cannot make choices. During those times we do what the meds and bipolar tell us to do. We can cut ourselves a lot of slack.
