What do you girls do when this happens to you guys. I was doing great until I was invited to a house concert and couldn't resist the pigs in a blanket, the chilli, the crackers and hummus. I felt so guilty aftewords but while at it I just wanted to eat everything in front of me. I feel like is harder for me to fight temptantions during this time of the month. I am a very active person don't mind exercising at all but I am certainly a big eater and don't discriminate food, that's why I joined MFP. What do you guys do during this time and still lose weight..Thanks.

    I discovered that Evening Primrose Oil can help my PMS cravings as well as helps stabilise some of the mood swings. I take it anyway but when I start getting the munchies or get a mood swing I take more. Doesn't always work but it helps.

    Unfortunately, it all comes down to willpower. Is it easy? No. Its more mental than anything, unless of course you have an iron or magnesium deficiency to explain the cravings.

    I CRAVE salty foods when TOM is here. (and the whole week before) I just try to stick to healthier options- fat free pretzels, 100cal jolly time popcorn, and raw veggies. I just try to remind myself that I am going to be bloated already, and that I don't need any help from my temptations. And drink tons of water!
