    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.
