Ok, so i know this is too much info but for some reason TOM this month is killing me. All I want to do is eat sweets and it doesn't help it is right around Valentine's day! Anyone else have a bad TOM once in awhile that makes them feel like ravenous animals!?? lol

    Every month is like that. The cravings sometimes seem to go even past TOM.

    i think the question is, "is there anyone out there that likes it"
    good lord no... and it's worse when you dieting... however, if you make sure and get your exercise in it can help give you a little energy....
    i have to force myself to do it but i always feel better afterwards.

    OMG! TOM is the worst!!! It almost always derails me. I have been so good staying away from chocolate, but I had a candy bar the other night...thanks TOM!! I'm trying not to let it get me totally off track though. Good luck to you!

    I used to crave sweets & salts during my TOM, but I don't feel like I do as much since being on NuvaRing. My hubby also noticed that I don't seem to have PMS really at all either. Apparently he used to notice a subtle change when it was abotu to be my TOM, but last month he couldn't even tell it was coming.

    I've never heard anyone refer to this as TOM. Too bad that's my best friend's name. Of course, he lives 3,000 miles away, so I don't have to deal with him much.

    I reeeealllly hate the TOM!! I just finished mine and it was super hard to overcome the mental cravings for badd salty greasy foods and SWEETS !!! But I did it!! and i also was able to exercise everyday which i was proud of doing buz we all know that when u feel like Sh**t w/fatigue and cramps u just wanna sleep and exercise is not even the last thing on ur mind...One thing I did discover that works well for me around my TOM is eating NUTELLA...is so YUMMMY and chocolately! You can spead it on toast or even a light gram craker for a super delisshhh treat...or since its V-Day you can even put a dap on some fresh strawberries!!! ( i am gonna do that tonight as my treat!! ) 1tbsp= 100 cals. Hope this helps!! :wink:

    Hate it every month with a passion. Want to eat everything in sight and bloat up like an airbed! Have to say reducing my fat intake and drinking loads of water has helped my symptoms a little so that's one saving grace!
