Ladies-How do you handle...

mood swings during your monthly visits with aunt flo? Today i just feel miserable and fat and just wanna cry. I shouldn't feel this way because i found another pair of jeans i hadn't been able to fit into for along time and today they fit altho tight. Last weigh-in i had lost 93lbs and thinking im 100+ by now but its not helping with this mood. Yesterday i got my hair dyed and altho alittle to much red for my taste its healthy and soft and shiney...well that should make me feel better and it doesn't. I don't want to eat, im not hungry...just wanna curl up under the covers and cry. I have had lots of coffee this morning and think i heard somewhere where caffene was a depressant...is that true or am i imagining things again? Even tho i have lost a termendous amount of weight in a short time i just can't help but think i could have lost more and thats making me depressed, ive lost in my shoulders, legs and butt. But not as much in my stomach ...every top i try on my gut still hangs out so much. Im really in a mood aren't i? LOL lordy i pitty anyone that comes around today. Thanks for letting me spew off...good luck to all you loosers and future loosers...hugsssss Sally

Well I now know of at least 3 of us from this board suffering through what you just described at the moment. Since surgery I have come down with PMS, but it lasts for about a week, before, during and a tad after. I just tell my family up front, tell them I will try my hardest to be good but to please forgive me for any and all out bursts. I wish I would not eat during this time, but I sure do. It is when my carb cravings come out. I have to be on high alert but that doesnt even help most days. Sounds like you are pretty normal, just be thankful it isnt all month. Hang in there, sounds like you are doing wonderful and tomorrow IS another day. Theresa

I can identify! It's tough.....esp. since I haven't been able to get out to my evening swim. Theresa you look maaarvelous!

I must be on the rag too as I'm feeling low.
