*LADIES* Working out making you a hormonal time bomb?

Maybe I'm trying to find a reason for my over sensitivity lately. Besides it being my TOM, I'm also new to working out. I've skimmed a little here and there and read it may be possible estrogen is released when burning fat cells.

Is there truth in that or am I'm turning into a weepy hot mess for no reason at all?

    I have found my moodiness has drastically decreased since working out!! My honey has also noticed the same thing. I have tons more energy and get out of bed a lot quicker too..

    Have you changed your diet at all? Because when I changed my diet (took out a LOT of sugar and all caffeine) I definitely noticed a HUGE change in my moods..

    The only time I have any emotional problems related to exercise/dieting is when I start to feel like I can't eat the foods I want. I feel like I sacrifice so much of myself and my needs/wants already that if I can't have some junk food now and then I get super grumpy and kinda flip out. But that's more stress from being a stay at home mom to a toddler and a baby, and not being able to go shopping/not getting presents than it is from hormones released from exercise.

    I became overly sensitive about the first week and a half that I began working out. It was no where near TOM. I'm the type of person who doesn't hold any thought or feeling back so there really wasn't anything different other than the exercise. I literally cried over dropping a piece of broccoli (uh, not like me at all) and then felt like ripping someones head off for no reason the next second. Increase in estrogen eh?! Hmm maybe that would explain it. Anyway it chilled out and I've felt fine ever since.

    Maybe you need a better/more appealing workout? I also find that I feel great from working out and off when I don't. Maybe you need to find a workout/ exercise that inspires you more? I like running cuz of the milestones I can feel like I'm achieving things. Maybe you should look into dance or swim or something


    Exercise gives you endorphins
    Endorphins make you happy

    X3 on being a hot mess right now! I have PMS like crazy! I want to (read: I am) eating everything in sight that is bad for me. However the moodiness that I normally have is gone since I started working out. I am just a human garbage disposal right now when it comes to the sweet, salty, starchy, greasy, not-good-for-you foods. :indifferent: :ohwell:

    In the last 6 months of working out and eating better, my PMS has drastically improved...until a few days ago. I still have a week until TOM arrives and I am a complete frickin' maniac. Crying one minute, pissed off the next and zero control over it! I hate it. PLus, I get cluster headaches/migraines at this time of year until we change the clocks (only a few more days), so my body is ultra f***ed up. Even working out doesn't help right now.

    We can be crazy *****es together. Yeah, mine only happened when I first began exercising in general. Now I feel great when I work out no 'relapses' . You may be on to something with the hormone theory.

    I am so grateful for this post! I thought I was going crazy! I started dieting and working out about a month ago. I've only lost 9-10 pounds so far, which is frustrating in itself. Then all of the sudden this last week, I've been like super emotional and sensitive about anything and everything. It's starting to affect my marriage. I don't like it at all. Is there any tips on how to handle or fix it? I need help!

    I have no idea why, but when I first started working out I was a mess. Everything seems to have leveled out now. When I start to feel that way, I just workout and just my frusrations out that way. But in the begining you could have thought I was nuts. Hang in there it will get better.

    I must admit this week I have been quite low & way over sensitive.

    It is the first TOM since starting the heavy working out and quitting smoking and I've put it down to that - change in diet, routine & lack of nicotine. Most months I might get a little low the day before I start, but I know what it is & just let it pass. This month, it started three days before and has lasted a week. I've been very tired which hasn't helped, I have huge work demands at the moment which always stress me out. Partner is being a git.

    It's all got a bit on top of me. My mood is starting to lift and the exercise does seem to help - I'm fine for at least the drive home after any exercise class!! I've cut down a bit though - the tiredness was certainly adding to my grouchiness.

    Hopefully next month will be better!!

    I think it is the stress of incorporating something new into your schedule. I have been moody but only because I stress about not getting it done or just the typical things of making sure my day and my family's day goes smoothly. I hope that once I am used to having it in my schedule, the stress of it will back off some.
