    I usually wind up eating more chocolate over all and I go hungry at night because I'm not adding to my day significantly.


    But I'm confused when you say "the next couple of weeks"

    I mean- it happens every month- if its a couple of weeks long process and you blow your diet off for that time frame- then you're not going to move very quickly.

    I'm glad I'm not the only to notice that the OP said "WEEKS"

    I feel like that'd be a reason to talk to a gyno if it's lasting weeks - pretty sure that's not good...

    Sorry that I am different than you may be. I experience symptoms a week before, and my TOM is usually a week long. MEANING A COUPLE OF WEEKS. :)

    Plan for them!! I find "healthier" alternatives or eat what I crave but don't make it a habit. I satisfy that craving but stay within my goals for the day and continue on!

    Keep your diet at 80/20. 80% "healthy" foods and 20% indulgent (sugar, salt). Make sure everything fits into your calories for the day. Don't deprive yourself (more likely to binge later) but don't go crazy (over your calorie allotment for the day), either.

    I agree with OP here... (this will be TMI, but) I start getting cravings and a bloated/ugh feeling from the week before the flow actually starts.... and then it continues til the end (and it's a week for me too :sick:) I feel your pain :frown:

    Just make sure they fall into your caloric allowance.
