That time of the month

This one is for you ladies. So, it is that time of the month and I am being hit with food cravings left and right. I had to make my boyfriend change the channel on the TV every time a food commercial came on and the Food Network was completely banned. I am also feeling exhausted. I know if I indulge even a little bit I will go over board. What do you all do during this time of the month?

    As long as you have room in your calories area, I'd go for it. You'll be jonesing for it otherwise, might end up crabby, and end up taking it out on BF. It's probably for the betterment of mankind if you just have a little to satisfy your cravings.

    I would. :)

    You are too funny. Last night I really wanted carbs but I knew if I went there I'd be in trouble so I had a Tofutti Marry Me Bar. It helped a little :) There is something about a big bowl of past of a hunk of bread with a slab of butter that just calls to me though. LOL

    Yeah, my time of the month just ended. I did pretty well compared to what I usually do, however I did snack quite a bit. If you have cravings go for it though, just portion them out, eat tiny amounts of chocolate or whatever it is you crave. For me cravings don't last too long after I have a bite or two so maybe that's all you need to keep yourself sane. a bite here and there won't hurt just make sure you track it so you don't over do it
  • I dread that time of the month, I really do. But usually, when I have cravings, I either go for a long walk or just snack on cucumbers. I usually finish a whole one before my craving disappears haha!
  • I either give in, ooorrr I cook myself a healthyfied version of what I am craving at the moment.
