Belle_Fille

so....lets talk!

SKP1986

Oh man... I know how that goes. My biggest one is chocolate or other really rich, creamy, fatty foods.

How are you doing tonight aside from wanting to pig out on everything in sight?

valbar61

Well its not my TOM but I still wanted to eat all day today.

I had to really work hard to fight the urge even though everyone around me was eating bad stuff. What worked for me is drinking water.

Also, I don't know if you can but sometimes I just eat a few nuts, drink some water and go to sleep so that I can't start fresh tomorrow.

Stay strong girl! You can do it!

Aunt flow will be here next week for me and right now all I want to do is eat bowls upon bowls of cereal though I am not hungry!

tammy200678

Adsnwfld

It isn't just a TOM thing, the last few days I also just want to eat...I think it is the spring is coming and I can't wait thing
Hang in there.

I understand that completely. I'm still trying to figure it out but I think a lot of it is psychological. Let me ask you this. When you think about eating is it because you feel like you're trying to hold yourself back so that you won't eat? What I'm trying out right now is thinking of it like this: thinking that I can eat whatever I want (just not doing it lol). If that makes sense? For junk food I also have been eating nuts... that makes me less likely to eat chips later. My downfall is candy though haha. I've been thinking about making my own candy using splenda... lol

Ok, let's talk... first go get a large glass of water and drink it. lol

Seriously, try to distact yourself (or is that the talk to me part? - LOL) Shortly your cravings will go away. Obviously if you are stuffed then it's probably in your mind. Maybe try writing down how you feel about being hungry.

Try a hot bath.

Or for me sometimes I just head to bed with a good book.

Hang in there!!

anything!

ambie35

glad to know I'm not eh only that creeps mfp to keep myself distracted from eating.

smcclaycouffer

I get the same way. For some reason as soon as 9pm hits I'm starving! All I want to do is eat. When I started MFP which was only 4 days ago I started eating a lot of fruit at night. Rather then candy, cakes, chips, or anything else I could get my hands on. I eat a cup of grapes and a kiwi or 2 clementine oranges and the seems to do the trick. Not exactly sure if thats a good thing to do but I know starving yourself doesn't help either and I always stay in my range for the day.

leslie4health

Yep, that's me this week! Its TOM for me too and like you I want to eat even after eating a meal. I hate it! I don't want to work out either. I just want to eat and be lazy. Yuck!

Belle_Fille

i'm new here hahaha what's a TOM?

TOM=time of the month

ChelDM

TOM= Time of Month...I am definitely NOT hungry though then...go work out...it changes the metabolism from hunger to endorphins.

Cinnamon gum is a LIFE SAVER! The taste is strong and will distract you from any previous craving. At least, this is what works for me.

wellyourenotSKINNY

Same here hun, TOM and I don't know how I managed to stay under today.
Usually when my chocolate craving gets unbearable, I have my 90% dark chocolate (From Lindt)
Since its so dark, I can't eat more than a few bites of it and I eat it a lot slower.
Plus the antioxidants are a LOT more in this dark, and the taste gets sweet after a few times of eating it.

EricJonrosh

I just figured out what TOM means. :embarassed: Can't help you there, but working out is the only thing that cures my cravings.:explode: :explode: :explode:

Hey there - you and I are in the same boat this evening! I had a bad weigh in this morning (unexplained gain of 2 lbs since Monday) and honestly - that feels like the biggest slap in the face and kick in the *kitten* every time it happens - I have been off all day - feeling hopeless and discouraged.

I always think about the mornings - have you ever woken up and regretted not eating more the night before?? Of course not - that thought helps me through the last few hours of the night. I am slowly learning to associate the feeling of rumbling in my belly when I lie down for bed with success.

Well, I'm currently watchin' Smackdown with my Husband Adam - we are campin' out in the livin' room. I don't think we have slept in the bedroom for about a month now. :laugh: When we sleep in the bedroom our Cats, Barnabas, Paul & Emmas like to take over the bed, but when we take the mattress out into the livin' room they don't bother to sleep with us. We don't shut the bedroom doors, cause they have the run of the apartment - its like a donut apt - where they have access to everythin'. Barnabas is the oldest cat, who will be 4 on Oct 3. He is the security guard of our place, and where we live as well - he likes to herd the dogs on the sidewalk to keep on walkin'...:laugh:

I could go on and on about my Cats - but maybe next time...

Drink some water, do a crossword, or word search. Sing a song...But, if you're really hungry reach for some fruit if possible...I hope this occupied your mind for a minute or so

You know Cassi, maybe you should read through your profile again. Re-read your goals and what motivates you. I always found it easier to control crazy eating a few days before my weigh in (back when I weighed in weekly).

You are doing really well, before you know it 12 lbs will be 22 lbs, and then 32 lbs.

i'm new here hahaha what's a TOM?

Time of Month. Every girls fave boyfriend. He's a player. Visits all the ladies. And treats every single one of them bad. Drains all their energy too, both emotionally and physically. Stupid TOM.

That is one of my cravings too! TOM can be a pain, hang in there, and don't weigh yourself...it might depress you. It does me!

Do you have enough self control to only have a piece of KFC? (That is by no way trying to be mean, but I know it might sound that way.) Sometimes having what your craving isn't bad as long as its just a little bit.
