I start craving green salad and vegetables and broccoli, so not too bad! And dark chocolate too. I think I need iron.

Im on day 4... cravings were only bad the day before it started...my problem is HORRIFIC cramps & HEAVY HEAVY bleeding....so much so that I dont dare to work out.....not to mention Ive been an emotional crying unbearable witch:sad: ...but the cravings, yeah, not too bad for a change.... I think what helped this month was that I got sugar out of my system ( Haven't had any since Ash Wednesday) so the normal monthly cravings weren't as bad as usual

Honey, If your TOM is truly "horrific" cramps, and "Heavy heavy bleeding", I was wondering , have you been talking to your OB-GYN about this? This is usually treatable, and could possibly be symptomatic of other problems besides usual TOM.

It really is amazing though, about getting the sugar out of your system, isn't it? Even just usual daily temptations and cravings get better once your body isn't "expecting" to get the junk food.:drinker:

Cheers to all! I'd still rather be a female!!:laugh: :bigsmile:

I am having the craving problem right now ladies! My TOM will be arriving in the next day or so, and I'm already feening for the Chocolate! I've been so good up until now, but around this time, I'm so miserable( crying over everything, or pissed off, bad cramps for 2 days,tired, and CRAVING CHOCOLATE!) :sad: ......I doubt I'll be up for exercising, at least for the first 2 days, because mine is also heavy. And I'm so pissed off that I've been working so hard, eating right & exercising, but it's not showing on the scale because I'm so bloated! Can't wait til this next week is over. I'm going to try and be strong though :ohwell:

My past week has been like this, I didn't even weigh in this week. It's so frustrating because I start craving before my good old friend shows up, so I don't even know why it's happening for a couple days! Urgh.

This is me too! I start starving and craving things days before and then once it's over I go to practically no appetite...it drives me nuts. I've been bingeing for 6 days now...*sigh* But Aunt Flo arrived today so hopefully this will end in the next couple days.

Got mine this morning 3 chocolate bars, a slice of cake, a mozerella ball (???), pasta n sauce, slice of toast, 5 crackerbreads, one packet of walkers sunbites and melba toast. That is what my day has consisted of, picking at the fridge. Its always the same around my totm I HATE IT!
I was on weight watchers pro points for 6 weeks and lost 3lb - a lost still but tragic all the same. So I switched to cal counting and lost 5.5lb in my first week (which was last week) and got down to 194lb from 202 originally. I was 196lb yesterday and today I've probably consumed about 2000kcal instead of 1200 and have put on what I lost last week - I dont even want to check!

Why is it that I think weight loss CAN be easy and simple if I put my mind to it. All I need to lose is 3.5st and if I kept at it I could have lost it in 6 months. Yet easier said than done, hey

Personally, I think it would be easier for me to just grow about 6 inches taller!! :laugh:
