    oh I know aunt flow is on her way and I was 3 pounds heavier this morning than I was just 10 hrs ago and my belly is ROUND and I couldnt get my jeans buttoned. I hate this time but I only get mine 4-6 times and yr but it is hell on my body. I tried to get it on schedule and it just wont do it so my body goes in to storage mode or something. food goes in and NOTHING comes out and I really feel like a stuffed PIGGY. but once that week passes Im great

    I might get myself lynched for this but I never have cravings when I get my TOM,in fact its the other way around I lose my appetite all together.

    cut yourself some slack indulging in a few guilty pleasures while TOM is around isnt going to hurt you.... if anything it may put you in a better mood so that you will want to go to the gym... remember is takes over 3500 extra calories to gain one lbs the rest is just water.

    This doesn't account for everything but your metabolic rate is slightly raised during the week prior to and the first couple days of your period. You are burning about 5-10% more calories than during the rest of the month. Beware though, this is only about 75-150 calories for most women.

    Give yourself a break and allow a small treat and hopefully that will keep you from going full on binge!

    lol. I am 100% with you! Last night I drove home and all I could think of was chinese food. Grease mmmm! But I refrained and had my normal dinner.
    And poor hubby is off today and has had to deal with my craziness all day. God love him!
    But I do find exercising helps with the cramps...the cravings no, but the cramps yes.

    I was like that last week!!! My poor fiance...lol. Like my MFP friends told me during my week of pure hell...Hang in there, just try to avoid the fried foods and eat as much as fruit as you can....sometimes it curves the craving for sweets. As far as the workouts..do your best, even if you get in 10mins a day its better than nothing.

    You'll be back to it soon!!!
