So hungry tonight!

I am frustrated! I am so hungry tonight and my will power is so low. Okay, so this might be TMI but right around my period I get soooo tired and hungry I can't seem to get a grip on it. I can feel it coming on and I try to ward it off with keeping busy and moving around the house at night but tonight I just can't seem to get a grip on it. I feel soooo hungry. Salty, sweet, savory, doesn't matter. Pandora (my pouch) is so grumpy this time of the month. Anyone have a similar issue or way you cope? I feel like I make good choices if I choose a snack, ie, Zone bar, protein coffee...but jeeze, the monster wants to be fed.

Okay, I have ranted and I feel better. I guess I just need to move more. Any advise is so helpful! THanks all!!!

Dear shabbylady1221,

I know exactly what you are talking about!  I go through the same thing every month.  I feel like I'm going crazy with the hunger, cravings for anything sweet, salty or savory.  If I even eat anything (even healthy) it throws me into a complete frenzy and then I fail and eat anything bad I can get my hands on.  The absolute only way I get around it and I say around it, is because I can't go through it - I would lose that battle and have lost that battle more times than I can count.  I go swimming...that is the only thing that takes it away.  Walking, biking, ranting and raving about it or anything else that I have tried (except swimming) did not and still does not work.  I think it has to do with the feeling of weightlessness in the water.  It completely takes away the hunger and the cravings!  I don't know why it works, but it works for me.  If you don't have access to a pool, try soaking in the tub.  Hope this helps!  Take care!

I'm post-menopausal so I don't have the hormonal excuse, but I'm hungry ALL THE TIME.

I went through surgical menopause at age 32.   I don't eat when I'm bored and I'm frequently hungriest when I'm really busy!
