A question for the Ladies

Eating at maintenance when I have my period is not an excuse for me, it's something I *need* to do to feel ok. The first time I had my period after I started tracking calories, I almost fainted and had to spend that first day in bed because I felt really weak and sick - I threw up too. I felt so bad I couldn't even stand to make myself a sandwich, so I had to call my mom. After eating some chicken soup and some sugary tea, I began to feel better almost immediately.
I remember that before this horrible experience, I thought I would just carry on and continue dieting as if nothing was happening when my period came, but guess what, something did happen. When I have my period, for me it means that it's time to replenish my body with sufficient nutrients and calories and give myself a pass. And it hasn't affected my weight loss so far either, so I'm sticking with it.0 -
Ever since I got my sugars in line I don't crave all the stuff I used to - including on my period. No excuses for me. I stick to the plan. If I want chocolate THAT bad, I'll have a square of dark chocolate or two. Will is a skill!0
