PMS is so bad for my diet

AF is due May 5th and the cravings have begun already. I am STARVING!!!! I already tried to combat the salt craving with Edamame only to finish the entire bag wanting something else.

I had 3 hershey kisses with numerous handfuls of Raisins.

NOTHING IS WORKING! I want to eat everything in site and go out and get more. Starting much sooner then usual. I think it may be a shorter cycle this month.

STARVINGGGGGG

If I wasn't trying to lose weight... my ideal PMS quencher right now would be A Bacon Cheeseburger deluxe with melted cheese on the fries. Followed by a huge chocolate & vanilla ice cream sundae with enough chocolate fudge to make me sick. Throw in a few very salty pretzel logs smashed up in that sundae and I am set.

Do you see? You see the problem here?????

OMG yum....i am drooling over your hypothetical lunch...

PMS is so bad for my diet

PMS is the worst for sticking with a diet! Do you like turkey burgers? Maybe you can trick your cravings a little bit without totally blowing your diet by having a turkey burger or veggie burger with cheese. If you like Greek yogurt, Yasso makes a sea salt caramel bar that's only 100 calories, but is delicious and very satisfying!

I can't do Turkey burgers. I have tried so many ways and it just doesn't do it for me and unfortunately I also can;t have any of those yummy yogurts because most of them have artificial sweetener. Do you know if that one does? Most of the ones that I think will be so good do

Yasso uses real sugar. Nothing artificial. I try to avoid high fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners, so I always read the labels.

Let me know if you need a date! I'm down for Mexican followed by friendlys.

Then we could just walk up and down my driveway with the stroller.

Re: PMS is so bad for my diet

I have a solution to your problem...Go to your local diner and order the cheeseburger. And then follow it up with your milk shake. Problem solved

Compromise! Have the burger, skip the cheese on the fries! Yesterday, I had pizza and a bagel for dinner. And I'm not even PMSing...l sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!

Re: PMS is so bad for my diet

When I feel like that, I go for Tacos and it really helps!
Lately I have been obsessed with milkshakes!! My DS is enjoying this!! lol

Re: PMS is so bad for my diet

I can't do it. I allow myself whatever I want for dinner saturdays and Sunday is eat what you want day. So during the week, I have to refrain. Though this week Friday is gonna be an all out eating fest on my part at the GTG lol

I really want to lose the last of the IF med weight I gained. I lost 10, I need to lose 20 more. I have a goal of July to do this. by my 37th Bday.

I may have to stop the SAt/Sun thing by mid June to really amp up the weight loss. And if this weather would friggin cooperate, I will continue to walk 3 miles a day on top of my daily T-25 workout.

Re: PMS is so bad for my diet

im a bad influence bc that all sounds yummy!

Re: PMS is so bad for my diet

I know what you mean, we are on the same cycle. Last night I had four brownies

Try this, put a spoonful of chia seeds in your yogurt in the mornings as a snack between breakfast and lunch. Have raisin bran for breakfast. keeps me full, when I get home for dinner is where my problem lies. I have no self control.

Re: PMS is so bad for my diet

I always made a rule, if I'm that desperate for something I have it, because otherwise I eat everything trying to satisfy that craving. Maybe not the whole dream lunch, but could you walk somewhere to get something that satisfies your craving.

PASTA PASTA PASTA PASTA PASTA PASTA PASTA

Re: PMS is so bad for my diet

I thankfully got past it. A bowl of creamy tomato soup with some melted LF mozzarella on top.

Thanks for the tips.

I have real trouble with portion control. If I was like a normal person, a few bites of something unhealthy should curb it. Nope. I can eat like I have a tapeworm. I eat more then DH and am still wanting more.

I usually have zero willpower so I'm glad I made it through that one! Lol but , it's not over yet. Lol

Frozen Peanut Butter Cups

For those of you who are peanut butter cup lovers...this is a good treat on the lighter side. I made them yesterday. I will say I liked the taste better before freezing them but the consistency is like pudding.
