TTM & Cravings

Okay, so I have learned how to disable my cramps to almost nothing by avoiding sodium and drinking more water than usual the week before my period.
What I have not learned to disable are my INSANE cravings for food; my insane "NEED" for anything... greasy, cheesy.... easy..... pizza, burgers, fries/chips, potato chips/crisps (I don't even like those!)... you name an unhealthy junk food, and I want it like I haven't seen food in years.
I need serious help because some months I will lose a good start of weight and then just gain it all back that week. I've tried portion control, but that doesn't work very well during "that" time.

It's horrible! LOL. I did so well where I was ALMOST in the 120's (129 to be precise) and that is huge for me. I screwed it all up over pizza, Applebees and God knows what else. I'm back at 130 again and guess what time it is? Now I want pizza and burgers and everything that's full of grease0 -
I feel your pain. What can we do to avoid going nuts during this time of the month?? I need to take up a busy hobby for 3 days. Lol0
