    Very normal. I go mad right before mine. Sometimes I feel like I could sit at a tree and eat the bark off of it. I think with the weight you have lost you are doing very well. Don't beat yourself up over a little indulgence.

    Very normal. Sometimes you beat the cravings sometimes you don't. Deff. part of the process. I was feeling down today and ate becasue of it , felt terrible and was so angry . I am fine now becasue I know tomorrow will be better so look to tomorrow. Keep working at what makes you binge, not enough food, emotions whatever and try to work on it! Even if you are binging think about why. Good luck :)

    Remember too that when you lose fat, you also release more estrogen into your system that month... that makes the cravings and mood swings worse.

    And this too, shall pass.

    Yup right before my period I can tell; I have terrible cravings. I have managed not to binge though by knowing in advance when my period will be coming (thank you birth control) and planning to have some healthier alternatives to what I would normally binge on. Remember if it's not in the house then you're less likely to drive all the way to the store just to get it. Like I know I'll want ice cream so I get light, no sugar added, blue bunny ice cream bars. They're awesome, they're a small portion, they fill my chocolate AND ice cream craving and they're only 120 calories. I also admit that diet cream soda does wonders for me as far as dessert cravings go. I know a lot of people think diet soda is bad but it's better than half a pint of chocolate ice cream :P
