Ladies lets talk period problems!

I never really focused on my period, it just came and went, I ate when I was hungry or didnt when I wasnt and didnt worry or think about it.
Now that im trying really hard to lose weight and get healthy, I hate that time of the month.
Im so hungry two days before I want to eat everything I see or smell. Im a crazy ***** because Im so hungry, I try to controll the cravings and munch on healthy things, but its so dang hard when all I want to do is eat a whole pizza and a loaf of bread. lol

and then when AF hits I dont want to eat anything. I feel sick and nausseous at the site and smell of food, I struggle to get in the cals I know I need.


anyone else ?

    So eat a lot during the two days before, and then don't eat much on the days you aren't hungry. Seems to me like it should balance out just fine.

    sounds like a plan, my body and belly would be happy with this, its just the struggle in my head telling me not to over eat. lol

    The only "problem" I have is the bloating. I'd have to drink about 200 ounces a day to get rid of it, but I'm just not willing to do that for something that will go away on its own in a couple of days. I agree with ElizabethRoad. Try to find a way to balance it.

    It's not really overeating. Try to make good choices, log everything you eat, and average it out over the whole time... I'll bet it will balance out pretty well.
