So, last week was TOM for me. I only have about 3/year, & this was the first one since re-starting my healthy way of eating after Christmas, so I am not at all familiar with my body's fluctuations around this time. So when the scale shot up by SIX POUNDS (esp. since I'd given in to a horrible TOM-related Chinese food & ice cream craving), I was HORRIFIED. I kept telling myself, it has to be water, it has to be water, ithastobewater!!!!! I'm not sure I believed it, though. But my TOM ended yesterday, & sure enough, this morning I am back down those 6 pounds plus .2 lbs more! WHEW!!!

TOM & Chinese Food - now THAT's a water-logged combination if I've ever heard one.

So glad those pounds have *washed* away. What a relief for you! Yay!!!!!

Great news, well done for sticking with it, post Tom +Chinese!

I hear ya....TOM is so frustrating for me too! I get crazy cravings, plus my weight will go up 7-10 pounds! Even though it drops back down every time, it's still so discouraging. Sometimes I forget that it's going to be TOM and I get really upset and think that I actually did gain the weight....then my little friend shows up and I realize.

I just love Chinese food, but with the bloating that comes with it, I sometimes think that is just isn't worth it.

Glad it worked out for you! Whew!!

OMGosh thanks so much
Im having huge cravings on my TOM this week. Thnks for giving me hope

Yeaaaa, it's the water!! Thank goodness, lol. My TOM also just ended the other day so I completely understand about those dang cravings!
