How do you females cope?!
I am on the pill, so I know when I come on my period. But the first day is the worst. I'm always hungry! Even if i eat a big dinner.
And I get emotional if I don't get what I want.

Does anyone get like that?!

    YUP! LOL I'm trying to make THIS tom different though. I have been sticking to the "diet" and not going over my calories *Hopefully* and am getting ready to do my FIRST EVER tom workout. Please, if you don't hear from me in 45 minutes, call for help..I may be on my floor in the fetal position crying like a sissy. :)

    Haven't had to worry about it since I started mfp, but I'm trying to think about that now too. I know I will definitely have to exercise so I can have extra calories available. Definitely thinking fudgesicles. Also airpopped popcorn with measured butter is what I'm thinking for salt cravings.

    HAHAH OMG!! You're not the only one. I was like that this week and pissy when I couldnt have enough chocolate or something salty. I treated myself to chocolate milk or some tiny pieces of dark chocolate but it was hard.

    So glad I'm not.
    I'm a weakling so I give in way too easily. Working on it though.
    I don't get cramps anymore due to the pill. I find myself icky to go out of the flat!
    Coudn't work out on the first day though, maybe the 2nd day when it's lighter!

    i totally get SALT cravings when TOM hits. Like i need chips or something. I try not to eat too much of something salty though because between the sodium and TOM, i would be a bloated balloon!
