:grumble: Around "that time of the month" I eat sweets---too many sweets to be trying to reach my goal. Other times I resist at the grocery store and cook very healthy.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fight that demon?? :mad:

Oh, rest assured the person in the picture is not me. ..I am female.:bigsmile:

    Supposedly your metabolism becomes heightened at that time of the month, so the little bit more that you're eating (even though it feels like a lot) does not make any difference in making your weight loss goals. Also, the exercise you do during that time goes farther than usual, so make sure to get out there and walk at least, even if you feel like cr@p!

    i actually have just experienced this.. and the day before i kind of went crazy on the salty foods.. but after that i have been really watching my sodium intake for the past week and i honestly cannot remember an easier TOM than this one has been! i also avoided my morning cup of joe (gasp!) because caffeine makes me balloon around then and makes the pain that much unbearable...

    oh! and i have also eliminated sweets from my diet. do it! you'll feel so much better.

    You've eliminated sweets for good? :grumble: I have no problem resisting usually but just around that time I crave them like an addict. I am going to force myself to do better.:cry:

    Chocolate is my BFF during that time. However last month the cravings weren't too bad. I try to keep "good" sweets in the house. Slim a Bear bars, Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches, Smart Ones desserts. The Smart Ones Chocolate mousse, is TO DIE FOR!!!

    For a sec I forgot how to spell die!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Last month this happened to me! I was CRAVING some sweet and chocolatey...so I went to the grocery store, determined to find something somewhat healthy but I found Skinny Cow mini fudge bars...only 50cals and definately helps that sweet tooth!

    Thanks guys, I know about the skinny cow but I will try the other things suggested. My husband just happened to bake a cake a couple of days agao and I ate several slices in one day. Next month I will be equipped with all my weapons :mad: ready for battle (weapons being skinny cow, slim bars, smart ones, etc):bigsmile:
