Let's just make this clear. I'm not the girl who cries and has mood swings as part of my PMS. I'm the girl who wants to eat the entire planet. I have been ravenous both today and yesterday. I'm doing what I can to keep in check. I'm staying under my caloric limit, but I've definitely gone over the recommended fat intake. It's the salt that I must RUN from.
However, since I'm trying not to eat the world, I have turned into a hungry BEAR. I've been so ornery and tired. I have socially isolated myself in efforts to not hurt other's feelings and to prevent my own SEVERE annoyance. I'm so confused. Normally I don't have PMS. Normally I handle it well. This is the first instance of hungry bear since I started losing weight in July. Thank the up aboves for birth control. At least I know when to avoid people.
I weighed in again before swim yesterday. I'm down to 336. Down one more pound. I'm expecting gain Friday for my CDCC weigh in. I would SO love to be wrong.
Until then... I will not be a bitch. I will not be a bitch. I will not be a bitch...
Big Fat Hungry Bear Love,

You are for SURE not alone in that category. I often want to eat the world as well, but unlike you, I'm not currently on birth control. I always forget when my period is coming, and so there will be days, DAYS of me fighting cravings with no real knowledge as to why I'm having such a hard time. Good job saying no!
ReplyDeleteOh no. You can be a bitch. You just can't slap random strangers, yell at family members or tell your boss to shove it!
ReplyDeleteHope it eases up for you soon. I usually just go hide out when I get like this, or take it out on some awful, physical chore, like clearing out the garage or cutting down dead trees with a chainsaw. A really big chainsaw.
I hate that ravenous feeling! At times, I'm able to quench it by drinking diet soda or ice cold water. But there are times that I can't resist so I try to make the best choices. Get one of your favorite fruits and have a serving or two. For me that would be cherries! OMG! I can eat a bushel of cherries! It's better than a bag of chips! ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL It's ok to be a bitch....you are taking the right steps by avoiding people! Way to go on the loss! I hope you got another loss on the check in too! I am just catching up on your blog!
