Monthly bottomless pit.... ;(

Options
Hello everyone!!! I am new here. I have lost 80 pounds so far, working out and I have 20 to go. However, I can't shake them, so I joined MFP :) Things are going great, still working out and eating right EXCEPT... one week a month where I can not stop eating!!! Going from sweet to salty, sweet to salty... does anyone have any advice on maybe how to curb this or something different to eat that might fill me up, because it seems I have a bottomless pit this week, and all it really does it make me work off what I just put on for the week, no wonder I can't shake these last 20 pounds. :(
Have a great day everyone!!!
I am loving this site though, glad I found it!

    try the "weightless" fennel tea. I drink a cup right as my cravings start and BAM they're gone!

    Hey, you've already done great so don't give up! Go ahead and give into those cravings but with healthy and/or high fiber snacks! Just try to stay within your calorie range, and work off any extra callories.
    Berries, dessert flavored yogurts, low cal ice cream, low cal frozen desserts, 100 cal packs, pop corn, pretzels, flavored popcorn or rice cakes, cereal (even a bowl of sugar smacks is better than having a blizzard), multi-grain crakcers, low cal cheese, beef jerky, chocolate graham crackers.
    Good luck!
