Its becoming that TOM! Like clock work, about 2 weeks before TOM hits, I start with little cravings at night.
I assume it has something to do with hormone changes that occure after ovulating?? I really don't know.
Then about a week before TOM, my weightloss STOPS.
Then a few days before I see a gain of like 1-2 pounds.
Pair that with food cravings that have magnified ten fold and its a recipe for disaster!!
Since the 2 1/2 weeks that TOM (before O, which I call the middle point) are the good weeks, where I see rapid weightloss, including the water weight from TOM and no food cravings, increased energy,
I call them the "up swing"...corny, I know!
And the weeks I'm about to start, where it get sooooo hard to stay on track...the "down swing"...
I'm typing away because right now I want soooo bad to go out in the livingroom and pour a HUGE bowl of my son's goldfish (I mean HUGE freakin bowl) and eat, eat ,eat!!!
But I've been doing so good, I don't want to ruin it. I'm sitting here with 2 bottles of water, and 3fatchicks, and hoping these 2 will get me through until I go to bed! I'll be going to bed in about a half hour.
