I'm PMSing (sorry for the TMI) and I feel so bloated. I want to stay motivated and not break my diet, andI was wondering if someone can post a sample of what they eat in the day, just to see if I'm on the right track...it's difficult for me not to under eat as well as over eat. Thanks so much!

    Hi Tara!
    I love the TMI, good to see someone else put it out there too :-)
    (i've been dealing with a couple of overly-sensitive types on facebook the past couple days/ugh/if you don't want the normal, everyday, dirty facts of life, don't chat on the common facebook wall, gimme a break)

    Anyway, it's all about you for the moment.
    I pms baaaaaaad and crave chocolate. I allow myself an itty bitty piece, but then I munch on handfuls of mini-carrots. Carrots are just sweet enough to cure my tooth and fill my tummy so my stupid pea brain thinks it's full of naughtybits.

    Some ideas:
    B - yogurt w/ blueberries & a little granola (1/4 c or less) - 257 cal
    Snack - piece of fruit
    L - Subway chicken sandwich or veggie patty or low cal burrito or leftovers
    Snack - carrots
    Dinner -wheat pasta w/ ground turkey & marinara sauce + veggies (if you grate them in the blender, you can add them to the sauce without really changing the taste) or soup/salad or chicken w/ veggies or meatball muffins (thanks Tam!)
    Snack - treat (piece of chocolate or Jello or strawberries w/ whip cream)

    I love that Falcon! I may have to try your method. Mine is less healthy, but when I need sweets I get into the sugar free popcicles! mmmm.......sweet, crunchy and I can have a second without a lot of guilt, when needed. :happy:

    If you're bloated, try adding a few drops of lemon juice to your water. This is something I totally swear by. It will make you pee within about 20 minutes, so be sure you're withing range of a bathroom. It helps relieve some of the pressure and will make you at least more comfortable.

    As for my menu for today...

    B: Kashi Honey Sunshine with blueberries and skim milk; coffee with Purvia and cream

    MS: strawberries, kiwi and blackberries; light string cheese

    L: usually leftovers... today was rotini with vegetables and a blue cheese sauce

    AS: banana, yogurt and Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal

    D: peanut noodles with tofu
