I think its getting close to my TOM. I'm around day 24 of my cycle but its kind of irreggular, so I don't know if it will be in 4 days or 10 days. It getting close because I am starting to retain water (I hope - if not I gained). I always get nervous because my weight goes up and then I remember to check my calendar.
Anyway, low carb dieting and PMS do NOT go together. I want to eat Tostitos. Bad. But I know if I do my weight will shoot up from the carbs, the salt, and still the gain from my TOM. And I have been working out harder the past week. The past 3 days I walked/ran 5+ miles each day and burned 900 - 1050 calories per day. And I just did my Wii Fit too. If all this exercise doesn't get the weight off, I don't know what the heck will. Still, I could really go for something salty right now.
Now for me, I couldn't have that stuff in the house. You can't eat it if it's not there. That's why I've got to stick to the least processed food there is! Yes you can do damage with even healthy stuff, but not quite as much. And plus, for some reason the "keep on shoveling it in your mouth syndrome" just isn't there.
I like a nice veggie plate (cukes, pepper strips, string beans) dipped in a couple of tablespoons of salsa. Really does the trick and squashes cravings.
And remember - you don't have to give into a craving. They may be strong, but make no mistake about it - you ARE stronger.
Thank you for saying that. I needed to hear it. Esp with going on vacation next week.
I realize that I need to not buy this stuff, but sometimes I play head games with myself, like I can have a 1/4 of a cup of trail mix, it's a HEALTHY snack, after all. Only I end up eating like 2 cups in one sitting. It's just awful. It's there, my hand is in the bag till I'm stuffed and feeling gross. Gotta stop that, pronto.

Trail mix healthy? I have yet to see one that truly is. Stop fooling yourself by justifying it and saying that it is healthy.
For me, it's yet another one of those "can't shove it in my mouth fast enough" foods. That crunchy, salty, fatty food is next to impossible to stop eating once you start. There is no satiation point. My solution - don't start. It's just not worth it. I am better off without it all together.
Sometimes I crave different stuff but mostly I just want to EAT. Mindless eating. Wether it's cereal, cheese, fruit, whatever...I want texture and substance. I end up walking away and taking a nap or going to bed. It's the only thing that works or I would eat and eat and eat. I'd rather sleep a lot then eat a lot.

I wasn't trying to justify the binge. More like, they portray the trail mix as healthy. raisins, nuts....but yeah, I know it's really not.
