Today I have been craving salt. I had a pickle and that's plenty there, so I've been trying to hold off on having more. I think it's related to my drinking too much water. It's been sooooooooooooooooooooo hot (we're buying a new ac on Monday) and I have been sucking down water. I am up to 128oz so far today. I'm sweating it out, so I figure I'm losing salt and my body wants it back. I'm trapped without transportation for a couple more hours, but when DH gets back from class I am going to buy a gatorade and see if that helps.

Of course it might be TOM. I'm peri-menopausal, so sometimes I have symptoms without a period and sometimes I get one. It's been 3 months, so that's also a possibility.

I'm just glad there are no chips in the house right now.

Hang in there, Stacey..Hoping the salt craving will hold off by the time you get your gatorade. Doing wonderful on water intake!

When you sweat a lot you definitely need salt. One thing that helps me with the salty crunchy cravings are 100-calorie bags of popcorn. Way better than chips!

Thanks for the support and letting me complain. Hard to eat when I'm typing.

I ended up having some cherry tomatoes before DH got home and then got a gatorade. That seems to have helped a lot. I'll be more careful to replace electrolytes when I'm sweating so much from now on.
