pms sucks

Options
no questions here. I know exactly what my problem is,I just have to survive it for the next 6 or 7 days without eating everything that isn't nailed down. protein seems to have failed me this month, so i guess i will just have to gnaw on my knuckles, throw away anything that resembles a binge food and go to bed early and get up late to avoid the food. and I am a month away from my son's wedding so add that to the stress pile. gawwwwwwd.

    Haha I'm right there with ya, I always feel super ravenous! And of course, your weight goes up (due to water weight/retention). You're not alone at least :-)

    I hear ya!! Peri-menopause sucks too! Craving and fatigue! And nothing really helps except good old fashioned willpower. Oh well, stay strong! We'll make it through!

    Yep. It sucks. But for christ's sake, will the women on MFP put on their freaking big girl panties and start DEALING with it?!?! Why does everyone b*tch about this so freaking much??

    Oh for the love of goodness.. eat a cookie or some chocolate and I promise you'll feel so much better.

    Depriving yourself is only going to make the cravings twice as bad.

    hmmm quit complaining? I can do that or I can actually HURT somebody, I prefer to complain. Eat a cookie? Obviously you do NOT know what I am talking about, one cookie would never ever ever in a million years begin to satisfy the ravenous monster that lurks inside me when PMS hits. You could park me in a cookie factory and I would eat until the pms ran it's course. and yes, to those who get it, I am up 2lbs already from water retention which just makes you want to say WTF and go find a cookie factory.

    I think I did say no question involved and it was just a rant. and believe me, normally I am a very NICE girl, just not for the next 7 days. EVen my beloved dogs should make sure to stay out of the way this week.
