It has been some time since I became well after years of not taking care of mental health. I started to discover as the pounds start to add up that I realized how much all parts of my health and diet matter to my well being. It is just besides the mental health, which I have continued to discover that is just as important as anything else but it needs to be in conjunction with all dimensions of my wellness matters every day no matter the situation.

One of the biggest battles in fighting my mental health condition the first time was the fact that I believed that not taking my medication would aid in me losing weight, which it did, but it harmed me in so many ways and I forever turned a blind eye to it. But I now realize how important all of my medication is every day, no matter what or what is not happening in my life.

With me being steadily on the medication the side effects are approaching again to the point that they are noticeable. I can see that things need to be addressed. As hard as it can be, it needs to be done. Its the hard truth that you don’t want to hear but it is the realty, I know that things will get worse if I continue to feed in to the hunger cues and give in to the urges to do what feels good, but it takes doing the hard stuff like eating and drinking the right things along with moving some too. All of this can be hard but things will never get better unless I do the right things and allow myself to improve out of necessity by understanding that my diet matters just as much as my mental health.

Things will never get better if I do not approach things from all dimensions and combat everything so that things do not get out of hand. Its the hard truth that needs to be accepted and understood if things are ever going to be improved and the barrier that is going to be faced with fighting the weight gain and other issues that never seem to stop accruing and begin to do more to improve myself by starting to do the right things and make the right choices by consuming everything that is whole in the right things for me. It takes being knowledgeable and responsible for the mind that I am given. it also means that being mentally well can go a long way in having a positive mindset towards doing the right things because there is the desire, want and need to do what is needed to be done because I not only have to but I need and want to also. If things are ever going to be better and I start to be happy more about myself then I must take the initiative and start to do what is right on all dimensions of wellness once and for all.
