I can relate, I have been no fun for my husband and son since on this diet. It's gotten better since the first couple of TOMS, but it's still a very rough time, especially 7-10 days before TOM. This is how I think of it, though, I'm doing this to get healthy and add years to my life to be there for them, and to be able to do things together that the extra weight prevented me from doing. I've told my kid and husband both that mommy's diet makes her hormonal, and she acts more impatient and kooky at times because of it. I have even written "HORMONAL" in big red letters on our dry erase calender as a reminder that it's not them, it's me. And I do a lot of apologizing. A lot. Remember, it's only temporary, the changes we are making for the long run will be permanent.
