TOM I can handle...it's the Hungry Horrors that I get the week BEFORE! Bad enough to be moody, but add craving alternating salt and sugar and being tired? How is that fair? It's amazing, I can always tell the day TOM is going to start because I finally wake up feeling like i don't need to eat everything not nailed down in my kitchen that morning. :P
I am exactly like this!!
Ohh and I only weigh once a month. So don't know if I fluctuate or not during this time.0 -
My weight went up 7.5 lbs but today im down 5.25lbs so there is a silver lining. I know the other two lbs will come off soon. Just so annoying to be really working hard on diet and exercise and nothing you can do to prevent period weight. Blows a whole week of effort. Men are so lucky.0
-
Well I'm thankful I don't gain any weight during my week of the month! However I do still get this rather unattractive little tummy though which is quite annoying -.-0
-
Oh yeah! I was at 200 lbs right before my TOM. I was so pi$$ed. But now my TOM is passing and I've officially entered One-derland for the first time in about 3 years.
SO, there! F.U. TOM. :bigsmile:0 -
It is normal to retain water, and at the end of TOM the water should be eliminated. I just don't weight in this period. Ah and everyone getting near me should be aware that I might bite

Look at it in a positive light... the couple of pounds of water weight that you'll lose in a few days means you won't be gaining much more than that in baby weight.
It also gives you a valid excuse to beat annoying *kitten*... as long as the object you use is no wider than your thumb. I'm pretty sure that is the law.0 -
I literally just went through the same thing this morning. 3 pounds and everything :laugh:
I usually go Linda Blair crazy, but this month I'm super weepy instead. Every little thing makes me want to cry >.<0 -
I love how tanks and missiles and guns have killed millions of people but scales will always be the most hated piece of machinery to most people :P0

Wait till you hit menopause....it's worse and the scale is a f***ing rat *kitten* ALL the time.....
Please don't say that! I'm wishing for TOM's early death. It gets worse? :frown:0 -

well done0 -
Ook... I'officially sinergie 3 data befferà TOM and i worldwide like let's see.... Eating one big nutella thing... Kill somebody... Eat the entire almonds pack... Kill somebody... And eat more. I'm just now a refugee in my room trying to read the forum. Charge batteries.. Do whatever ...0

I fired that b*tch that I called "scale" today...all she ever does it piss on my parade. I am currently entering PMS and will soon after receive her demon spawn TOM. My weight is up...again. I'm ravenous...again. I'm ticked off....again! I have a goal to lose my last 13 by the end of the year, and because she isn't nice and sucks my joy, I fired her and will not re-hire her until January 4, 2013....so there!0
-
...and wtf.... So I am on Day 3 of TOM.... 4 days ago my jeans fit nicely ... thank you bloating! and now they are too loose YAY..... I know just before next TOM they will fit again..... so now I have to have 2 bloody sizes!0
-
LMAO. Try being me. I'm on Depo Provera and have been spotting for at least 2 months. I've talked to the doctor and while they say it is common and to ride it out, there's not much I can do right now as I just got my shot last month (which they thought would make the spotting go away).
So...how did I lose 4lbs in the last 2 weeks? I did a normal diet and exercise with a little more exercise and a lot more water to combat what my body is losing in blood and other bodily fluids.
Just do the best you can and hope for the best....I'd like to kill my scale some days too!0 -
Wait till you hit menopause....it's worse and the scale is a f***ing rat *kitten* ALL the time.....
AMEN to that!0 -
LOL I am so glad to hear there are other "linda blairs" on here. ROFLMFAO -- oh the old man opened his yap and stupid just rolled out today..and if looks could have killed the one I shot him would have landed me in maximum security! And this is only like a week and a half BEFORE D-DaY!
I'm bloated, pissy, mean, have way less tolerance for stupid , ..etc. Once the actual day rolls around I'll calm down just a little bit..but that scale...oh I still have that scale on my list of inanimate objects to kill0 -
For me, the worst about TOM is feeling it's a damn setback to all the hard work I've done and I have to start over at the bottom of the hill like Sisyphus, rolling the boulder back to the top again.
I never track when TOM is supposed to happen, so I can't plan to stop weighing myself at a certain point until it hits--and by that point, I'm fretting about a minuscule amount of weight gain (at times though, it's monumental). Pair the disappointment in seeing the scale go up with the fact that I don't want to exercise or do ANYTHING but sit on the couch and drink tea wrapped in a blanket and eat salty comfort food and it's a self-fulfilling prophetic failure.
It's a set-back that creates a bigger set-back....mad props to those women who can still push through and exercise. I don't even feel like going for a walk, much less anything else.0 -

Well, props to you for knowing who Sisyphus was (mythologically speaking) and for using the word "prophetic" properly. Even if TOM defeats you, you can still slay most of North America where a well-rounded liberal arts knowledge base is concerned. Hey, that *kitten* matters to some of us! Power on, Sister.0 -

LMFAO -- That was a fun read. You my dear have a way with words!! I loved it!!!0 -
Thank you for giving me a great laugh this morning. This was hilarious as I too have jumped back on that scale hoping maybe for a different result. Picturing this in my mind was a great way to start the day. Thanks again for sharing your humor.0

ok seriously ...??? The cramping, the bloating ...all there and I'm not due to start for another week. I'm getting livid. 2 weeks ago when I weighed I was going to hit 150 any day I just knew it...and then...now?? 155?? ?are you kidding me??? If I'm like this the week before what the hell is gonna happen when it's the week of? Before I started MFP I only weighed myself like once a month because well face it at that time I really didn't care. Now, NOW I CARE!!! and I'm getting mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmad!0

I feel ya, I have a constant TOM....it lasts about 15 days, then I get a break for 10 days, then it starts again. My doc finally did an endometrial ablation 2 wks ago...a side effect is a 2wk long period. So far haven't been able to tell if the surgery even worked. Stupid TOM.0
-
I am totally feeling your pain on this right now. I am up 1 lb which isn't too bad but still. I just take heart in the fact that it will go away in a few days. That being said, I think there should be a collective pay pal account for all of us for either bail money or replacement scales after we get done assaulting our loved ones or throwing our scales out of the window. F.U. TOM.0
-
and that works for you?.... for now? wow! it would be R.I.P for you at my house lol. thankfully my surgeon spared my hubby with having to deal with that any longer :0Well, can't really weigh in on this topic. . . (LOL, get it? "weigh in", Ha, I kill me) Anyway, I'll just tell you what I usually just tell my wife, "There, there, it will be OK".0 -
I'd like to tell you it gets better but I had a total hysterectomy in Feb. and the new demon in my life goes by the name of Menopause. New name, new set of problems. we all have our demons, right. ahhhh. lol0

FU TOM, for making sure I can't have sex because "it's tooo messy"
We have a shower. It works great. We also have towels... and besides... we both know an orgasm is good for the cramps.0 -

MEE TOOO!! I'm going the the Hungry Horrors right now. I feel like I can eat anything I can get my hands on. I'm just starving. Grrr.0 -
I love this, it could have been written by me! I have my daily chocolate fix, even if only 1 small chocolate and I continue to exercise through TOM, sometimes holding my sensitive boobs if they hurt while jogging or just modify what I do. Yesterday, I ate great and exercised more than usual, only to be rewarded with a 1 pound gain....I am sure there is more to come in the next 3-4 days before I finally lose it a week later. So, in reality, I only lose actual weight for 2 weeks every month. There is just something so unfair as to gain 2-3 pounds every TOM, get pimples and have grey hair all while in my 40's.....So call me, I will definitely bail you out!I am not here to whine about needing chocolate...I need chocolate every day who would I be kidding. I am not here to whine about not wanting to exercise during that time...cuz I'll do my walking anyhow...I will swear a lot more doing it..but I will do it. What I am here to bi(cross)ch about is the scale during that time. WHY? Why is it against me? Like surfing the crimson tide isn't enough but then a piece of equipment has to taunt me? Seriously? I was down 3 more lbs and now I'm back up those 3?? WTF? And I move the scale around the floor hoping just one spot will show me compassion. NOPE! I rebel and go get my weights out..put them on that rat b@st@rd scale and oh so the weights still weigh 6 lbs do they? Hop back on in a frenzy hoping for a previous error.! WHAT?
Ok I'm done. I just want to state for the record that I may go to jail for killing my scale. Who can I call for bail money?0 -
Omg, I'm dying here! Thank you for the laugh!0

Man I'm glad my name's not Tom :happy:0
