So, when you are PMSing

[Deleted]

do you even attempt to be a good H&Fer, or do you say screw it and eat all the foods? Because that is about where I am right now.  I always have good intentions, but for about a day or two, my appetite is just ridiculous. .

[wambam]

I am more lenient with myself, but I don't go buck wild. Even though I want to eat ALL THE TREATS.

I try to be understanding with myself when just the sugary/salty/fatty stuff sounds good, but I also try not to let it derail me entirely. My workouts continue as planned, so I feel like a cupcake and a glass of wine midweek won't throw the whole game.

This! plus when I am REALLY not in the mood to work out i do it anyway because 100% of the time i feel better after. 

And i also tell myself that if i do my workout that i can have wine or chocolate cake or whatever treat that night.

I pretty much stay on track with maybe an extra piece of chocolate maybe. But I find I do better just sticking to normal

For me it's usually just one day, so I am just kind to myself. It's not that bad every month, so one day every couple months is not the end of the world.

I was just sitting here thinking about how I want to go home and gorge myself on cheese and bread followed by some brownies. Usually for me it's one or two days that I get these insatiable cravings for garbage. I don't let it derail me and I can jump back on the health bandwagon pretty quickly after my days of indulgence. It's almost like I crave the junk, I have it, and then I crave the healthy stuff again.

I eat whatever I want for those 2 days. Otherwise I'm a raging and uncontrollable bitch

[taratru]

I eat whatever for a day or two. I NEED IT.

[libbygrl109]

I try to make good choices, but still let myself have the treats. Like this weekend, I was super-emotional and not able to run, so I just let myself have whatever I wanted. It doesn't get that bad too often, but just seemed like this weekend was the perfect storm. I'll go back to regular eating for the rest of the week and beyond.

It's like I am a bottomless pit! At least I ran tonight.

[zoidberg]

I eat like a crazy person pretty much all the time, so....yeah. I go nuts.

[starlily]

There is always one day where I am just a bottomless pit. I've stopped trying to fight it. I've found if I just give in that one day, I can maintain control better the rest of that week.

[Chelle]

I try to find a balance. As in, I only eat one bowl of ice cream instead of the whole tub.

I feel as though every third period or so is insanely bad.  Then I have one or two mild ones and wonder why I turned into such a freak the last time, LOL.

I'm PMSing now and this is one of the bad ones.  I feel like shit, I want to eat everything (including, possibly, my children), and I have no patience for anything.  These are the PMSs that make me think that a hysterectomy wouldn't be so bad.

This is me too! I am a snickers commercial when I am PMSing.

[elletr13]

Like @sessalee, I'll give in for a day or maybe just a single meal. Fast food, for example..usually don't eat it, but I'll give in and get Chick-Fil-A because their fries tend to quench the craving.

[shorty20]

I workout as usual (for the most part), but allow myself a little leeway on eating. I don't go hog wild, but if I really want something, I'll have it, then try to eat better the rest of the day.

[emuni04]

I try to stay on track, but occasionally there is a beast inside of me that DEMANDS chocolate, and if I don't obey I will DIE. Generally speaking, working out actually makes me feel a little better when I'm crampy/PMSing.

[shauni27]

I don't usually get super food cravings, maybe just more comfort food type dinners? But I keep it healthy. It is more of "I don't wanna work out, I just want to nap" that I have a problem with.

[eb777888]

I always keep up with my exercising but sometimes I don't eat good and sometimes I keep right on track. It depends on how bad I'm PMS-ing and what kind of week I'm having.

[penelope]

I stick to my diet pretty well during those days. BUT....I also break out horribly from dairy and wheat, so to eat that stuff when I already feel fat, and have bad hair, just makes everything 10 times worse. I have learned my lesson, time and time again. So I have other reasons not to indulge.

That and DH would probably tackle me from a distance if he saw me cheating on something....it also makes me a raving a bitch, and even the kids say, mom don't eat that!! :-)
