oh my goodness. it's TOM. i dread this week because
1. it's when i feel the worst about myself
2. i gain all this extra weight/bloat which doesn't help
3. the scale will not register anything i do this week until next week
4. i'm super self conscious during TOM

ugggh! at least we joined a cool gym this weekend and i am doing the "new rules of lifting for women" along with running so i'm excited about working out regularly . but still, i feel disgusting!

anyone else want to join this club?

**** YES! 5 days of being miserable while fighting the urge to stuff my face with anything I can get my hands on - you're not alone lol

[platformnine]

Yes!

1. Food cravings like no one's business
2. Constantly tired and never want to go workout, even though I know I'll feel better if I do.
3. Bloating
4. Hormones all out of whack and being the biggest b*tch on the planet! I feel bad for my boyfriend haha

i feel your pain

[Riesz]

I need to join this club!

I HATE feeling sluggish and tired, bloated, moody, battling sugar/fried food cravings, self-conscious about leakage, and the pimples I get ONLY at this time don't help either.

Sometimes having TOM just doesn't seem fair. We deal with TOM then pregnancy then birth and what do men deal with?! Being encouraged to sleep around, glorifying pimps, etc. I must sound so bitter but oh well!

Ditto on that. The thing I hate is that I am fine weight-wise until the last few days. Then I gain like 5 pounds. It can be so discouraging!

I really hated my TOM until I found out about the sport tampons! I was always self conscious about exercising or living for that matter with pads,... I do hate tampons but it's better than how it was before. I understand the bloating. I just experienced it I think.

I absolutely agree, I HATE TOM!!! I spent most of Friday night crying my eyes out, I had no idea why until I woke up saturday morning. Don't you just love it when TOM decides to come early. And I have zero motivation and crave everything sweet. oh well, at least it ends soon!

I absolutely REFUSE to weigh myself during TOM. All that extra bloating and water retention just makes me too depressed to look. I'd rather wait till the week after to weigh myself.
