Ladies Only please read

Happyme2009

I was wondering if I am the only one with this problem.
I always am extremely hungry starting about 10 days - 1 week before my period begins. So hungry! so I always eat too much for virtually almost half of the month. And I always crave bad carbs.....never fruits, veggies, healthy stuff.....
After my period ends, ( say for example day 5 ), I am usually 2 - 3 lbs lighter than when it began. But that doesn't last, because after one more week or two, I get awfully hungry and PMS-ing again! And weight goes up again.
So my question is.... do you have this problem? How do you control it?
thank you!

I have the same problem! Thought it was just me. I have no solution for it tho. I gain, i lose, i gain , i lose.......its a never ending cycle. I went to the doc and he put me on something to where i only have a period twice a year but I felt so horrible that i had to stop taking it and ended up having 2 period within a week of eachother so that threw me way off track with my weightloss. I know Im no help to you but at least you know your not alone lol

I have the same issue, I become ravenous. I am fortunate that it doesn't last that long though, only about a week leading up. I try to drink extra water and keep all the junk out of sight. It's still a battle though and I haven't found a surefire way to stop it.

workout more = you can eat more.

I crave chocolate a lot during that time. i've found that snack bars with chocolate or sixlets (low in cals and so good!) is a good way to control the cravings. Also, eat smaller meals and snack more often on lower calorie foods helps. Making small changes on what and when you eat during that time could help a lot.

LMFAO.

This always happens to me but it's about 2 days before and a day into TOM. Here is my theory - If I was hit by a car and bleeding to death on the street, you would pretty much give me whatever I want, right? Hence, if I am bleeding I get whatever I want.

Do I control it? Not completly. I will go over my calories a little (small bag of salty chips and dark chocolate otta do it) but somehow it doesnt stick to my weight. I make sure to drink extra water during that time too. Make things...ah...flow a little better all around.

"Ladies only" threads never work around here, just so you know.

In the last eight years, I have had (I think) one non-BC period. I had no period for three years. I don't even remember what it's like!

I think I'm due in the next week or two. I don't know. I'm skeered.

They work great if you want men to read them.

Yup, same problem. Happens every time before I start. I normally want some type of junk food or chocolate. So I keep small candy bars for when I just need a bite. I do give in because if not I'll go crazy thinking about the sugar. I figure if I'm good the other 3 weeks out of the month it's fine. It's been okay so far

I will eat everything I repeat EVERYTHING during those few days. SO hard to control

There are millions of people in the world. Do you really think you are the only one? You are not a special snowflake.

Lmmfao!!!
And yes, I am the same way. I also get bloated during ovulation so theres only a very short amount of time that my stomach actually feels flat.
