I was overcome today with an uncontrollable urge to eat everything in sight and I'm not to proud to admit that i did just that. I was doing so good but I'm due in a couple of days and I figure that's what got into me. I'm sure I'm not alone in this insanity and was hoping to hear your bingeing stories. Don't worry I'll get back on track tomorrow. Oh did I mention I work at Outback Steakhouse LOL OMG so bad a place to get the munchies:laugh:

OMG You can say that again. .. Outback is my favorite place to eat
On the subject of PMS binges it's always sweets I crave and tons of them! My mom makes the chocolate oatmeal no-bake cookies better than anyone I know and it seems like it never fails I will go ask her to make me a pan of them right before that time. Sometimes I won't even realize it's time and I will start wanting the no-bakes soooo bad and when I check my calendar sure enough my "visitor" will be here soon:laugh: Good luck & I know you will get back on track. . .thank goodness it's only once a month!!! 0 -
I ate 5 Little Debbie Fudge Rounds yesterday and didn't do any exercise to offset it. Totally PMS-ing!!! :noway: :frown: :noway:0

Yes, I know that I do eat more... I just try to eat stuff that's healthy so I don't feel guilt... veggies, healthy oils, some complex carbohydrates... lots of water... helps a lot.
I know I want to eat more because my body naturally wants more. I say give it more- just don't go overboard or eat something totally unhealthy...
Your uterus will thank you I'm sure :drinker:0 -
"Your uterus will thank you I'm sure"
I once got a thank you card and a box of chocolates from mine. It was weird.
ha ha ha
Anyways....
Hey, I'm new around here. Just started up my new diet a few days ago, was doing really well. I could not for the life of me figure out what the deal was today. Didn't feel like exercising. I ate about 1,000 of my roommate's chocolate chip cookies... which weren't even that good.. They were actually kind of gross. She's a terrible baker. Love her. But ugh, gross cookies. BUT I ATE THEM ANYWAYS!!!
I just saw this post and a light bulb went off. DING! I know what my problem is. ha ha ha! I know what made me eat the terriffyingly bad cookies... huff. I love you, PMS. The things I do for you.0 -
Mine never sends me anything...

Monday. I ordered breadsticks from the pizza place and ate all 8 of them. To the tune of 1200 calories. :noway:
I've 'given up' white flour too - oh well.
Heh, Just back on the program right after is all. It's going to happen. One flub isn't going to derail me, I just keep going. I know that it will happen from time to time in my life - but that's okay.
So just keep moving forward, and chalk it up to being human - and female in this case. Gosh, I'm nearly 50 I want this to end.

Here's a true PMS binge: last night AFTER dinner I had 2 almond butter & jam sandwiches, 2 waffles, 2 bowls of chips, 5 squares of dairy free dark chocolate, 2 breakfast bars and a cup of heated almond milk. All of it was gluten and dairy free....as if that matters.
This was really sudden and there was no thinking or self control involved. Unfortunately, my PMS begins a full 7 days before my period and I never see it coming

My body gets confused between sweet and salty. I over eat the one and it doesn't satisfy my craving until I figure it out and switch to the other trouble food and by that time Ive over indulged.
This past week I ate ALL 6 slices of challah bread french toast at a restaurant, but I felt less guilty because I lightly dipped it in the syrup. Once I came home and charted it here I almost threw it all up haha....... then I had lasagna twice during the week, my body seems to crave all the foods I deny or drastically cut back on during the month. Im not a chocolate person but my big weakness is cookies, and yes I dipped into the cookie jar too.0 -
I feel like godzilla ripping thru the city looking for food my cravings and emotions get so bad! Im going thru this now and what makes me mad is i feel like it derails my progress. I do my best not to go overboard but I also know there are times when someone might lose an eye if i dont get something my body is screaming for! I had asked one of my weight watcher leaders her opinion and she suggested a nice healthy dose of carrots and hummus..bc afterall who doesnt crave that during PMS?!
If I eat something salty, not long after I need sweet and vice versa.
Last night I plowed thru tortillas and salsa like nothing and today i have eaten all my fruit I brought to work and then went for the crackers!0 -
An entire box of GS cookies. A box of Little Debbie brownies. At least half a large package of Oreos. A pint of Blue Bell Rocky Road ice cream with a huge slice of chocolate birthday cake.0
-
I snarfed an entire box of Double Stuff'd Oreos, a full size tin of Pringles and four ice cream sandwiches Monday.
Oh boy did I feel guilty about that.
However, now that the junk food is gone (happily resting in my tubby..I mean tummy!) I am determined to get back on track
Oddly enough now that I have satisfied the beast within I am not craving anything. 0 -
When I PMS, I need chocolate. Sugar free jello just doesn't cut it then. I made it through my most recent PMS event by convincing myself that the sugar free chocolate syrup really did taste as good as the regular, and that the frozen cool whip lite was blue bell homemade vanilla. Every day for six days straight. I hate lying to my inner self...because she KNOWS I'm lying! LOL!
The best part of the cool whip lite and sugar free syrup "trick" are that they have a combined 110 calories instead of at least triple that.0 -
A few months ago, I had an intense craving for a Five Guys burger and fries. I had been so good with what I ate and had stayed away from fries for several weeks. But I INHALED a bacon cheeseburger and nearly an entire order of cajun fries.
And I CRASHED 30 minutes later -- fell asleep on the sofa by 8:30. Ugh, I felt so awful and I haven't done that since for that reason, but man, oh, man, it tasted SOOO GOOOOD!0 -
There were these Girl Scout Cookies... Now there are none.0

Like most of the posts I have read, I always crave something salty followed by something sweet... or vice versa. Usually french fries or chips.... then cupcakes or cookies. Sometimes just a big hamburger combo meal satisfies, but blows the hell out of the daily calroies. It happens to the best of us.0
-
Chocolate and cheese, chocolate and cheese, cheese and chocolate, chocolate and cheese... a lite hot chocolate drink and a spoonful of cottage cheese doesn't really do it for me when I am PMS-stricken. But entering everything in MFP is helping me to curb some of the excesses. This time of the month, though, I reckon it is a major achievement to maintain my current weight and not fret too much about the scales not going down.0

Totally me the last two days! Mine, like everyone else, that darn chocolate! And, I do our Walmart/Target shopping on my lunch hour so that I don't have as much time to wander around store buying things we don't need. Who decided it was a good place to put the Cadbury eggs at the register?!?!?! I even changed my diary to be friends only with the hopes that I wouldn't pig out. No luck!! I just didn't enter a few of the chocolates I had Today, I am back on the wagon! I promise! Until next month!:ohwell:0

I had a shocking 3 days last week which turned out to be about 5 days before I was due. The scales that week (prior to my binging days) were also up, despite me having a good net surplus of cals for the week. I actually went to bed to bed one night in so much pain in my stomach from eating so much. I just could not stop eating.
I weighed in this week and I was down 700g from the week prior! Even though I'd ended up in negative cals for the week after 3 poor days.
Each month I say I will stay in control but I usually end up with 1-2 days where I am out of control. Trouble is I can never predict how long before , or sometimes during, that will be.
Glad to hear I'm not alone.0 -
I woke up this morning feeling guilty about my PMS binge last night and I saw this thread and feel better knowing I'm not alone. have a great day, everyone! 0

On Tuesday, I ate an entire box of Caramel Delight Girl Scout cookies in about 30 minutes. I felt sooooo gross after...physically and emotionally.0
-
Normally pints of ice cream. Literally pints.0
-
Your not alone here. Past couple of days have been a nightmare for me cause im due in a couple of days.
Tuesday i did really well up untill 5.30pm. I'd been fighting the cravings all day and wanted chocolate SOOOOO bad. When i gave in and bought crisps and choc i scoffed it like a mad woman that hadnt eaten for days. I felt really bad afterwards but i did make up for it. Then yesterday i gave into 3 cookies Luckily they were still in my cal goal.
End of the day, its extra hard that week before being due and we can't help it. Any other time its not as bad.0 -
omg -that is so me.
Chocolate, any type of chocolate. Just lots of it.
And toast with jam. And I hardly ever eat bread these days ut on my PMS Days- I want it sooooo bad. And carrot cake.
But most of all chocolate.....0 -
I work at a grocery store 4 days a week...not a great place to be when the muchies hit! getting out at noon leaves a lot of time to sit an eat, and being able to pick up just about anything i want on my way out makes it even worse! ice cream is high on my list (last month i made a special trip to a regular grocery store...i work at trader joes so we didn't have what i wanted...when i saw an ad for Bonnaroo ben&jerry's!! ate the whole pint). I also tend to crave meat, not surprisingly, and that is when i 'treat' myself to the best burgers we have in our town...with cheese, onions, mushrooms, bbq sauce. And of course there are the times when nothing will do the trick like a cake...well, not a whole cake, though if I often think about eating a whole cake.
It happens to MOST of us (i know there are people out there who have freakish will-power) and we do what we 'have to do' and then get back on track when the craziness subsides!
gotta love those hormones! :grumble:0 -
chocolate and alcohol i crave brandy & coke. I try and keep it healthy this time i got choc philly spread on a ryvita I use GF brownies as I'm trying to stay wheat free and have GF toast when I get bread cravings, use corn tortilla instead of wheat and use them as chapattis too if I fancy a curry, replace rice with cauli, then I don't feel bad about eating so much.
I try and restrict brandy & coke to not more than one a day with my dinner for a binge treat PMT week and try stay off it the rest of the month!.. usually end up with coco pops mixed in with my rice krispies sometimes for breakfast and supper! .. so i got some appetite suppressants to take that week to help me stick to my diet better!
I buy crisps in that are less than 100cals a bag and only allow one bag, I also got to burn 1,000 extra cals if I want my 'treats'. I find adding up the cals on calculator of all the things I want to eat usually makes me think twice cos I still like to have a 500cal deficit... so I usually reduce it to one.. choc OR crisps and eat them whilst I'm burning off the calories on the pedals.. lol!0 -
Last month 3 days before mine my mom and I went out to supper. I got steaktips.....I was just going to have a bite of the baked potato.....yeah right I gobbled that up and then my mom said "I can't finish my potato skins" Before she said my that plate was over on my side of the table. However the rest of that week I ate well and stuck to m workouts so when I measured that week I was down half an inch anyway :-)0

I am so glad i came across this- here i am this morning feeling terrible about yesterday! My son got an award at school yesterday and the school had cupcakes and strawberries and cheetos and this sherbet sprite pineapple juice punch and I let myself have fruit and the punch but omg i wanted a cupcake sooo bad. i told myself no - im not gonna eat that cupcake and the rest of my afternoon went downhill from there. I am on my period and I had dental work done a few days ago so i was taking ibuprofen which i think made my period heavier. (tmi, sorry) anyway, i was feeling sooooo hungry yesterday all day and i should of just ate the cupcake, i got home and had a chocolate pure protein bar for my snack and i was okay for a while, then i went for some animal crackers that didnt hit the spot, then i ate half a little debbie brownie that didnt hit the spot. what i really wanted was a dang cupcake! so then we went to pizza hut cause not only was i craving decadent cupcake sweets, i also wanted something bready and gooey. and it was a celebration dinner for my son - he wanted pizza hut. It was just one of those days and Im so so so glad im not alone. Lesson learned from this is, if i want a cupcake, im gonna have a cupcake!!!!! Oh and then after pizza hut i made chocolate chip cookies.0
-
I did the same thing a few days ago! I got right back on track the next day. I wish I could give you some advice. Other than this one really bad day I had, I've been able to pass food up and control myself, just telling myself it isn't worth all the hard work I've done so far.0

Ditto! I HATE Aunt Flo!!I feel like godzilla ripping thru the city looking for food my cravings and emotions get so bad! Im going thru this now and what makes me mad is i feel like it derails my progress. I do my best not to go overboard but I also know there are times when someone might lose an eye if i dont get something my body is screaming for!
