Cravings, and my time of the month questions???

Hey everybody!  I want to start by saying that I hope everybody is having a blessed day!!!

I am really not a big sweets eater, except when its my time of the month!    Well I have been kinda moody today, and SOOOOOO craving sweets.  So I know that my time is near! lol...  Any special advise for avoiding those sweets?  I don't wanna give in as I have come way to far for that, and I certainly don't wanna find out if I dump on sugar or not these next few days!!!

HELP!!!  Please share any advise or even ***** stories to scare me into not giving in!!!! 

Thanks in advance,
Jess

Hey jessica,

Well i was a sweet person before and now i only crave sweet right before my cycle as well.  What I do is buy the sugar free hershey or dove candy and eat one  of those or....  If i am doing good on protein for the day then i will share with my husband a no sugar added ice cream sandwich from skinny cow.... i think it only has six grams of sugar, maybe four.  I usually only eat this right before my cycle because my cravings are so strong lol.   I do NOT want to know whether or not i dump thats why i try to satisfy the craving with something SF or NS added. Hope you find something that will wok for you.

Hey Tori!

Thanks for the suggestions!  My cravings were so strong I thought I was gonna bite everybodys head off in the grocery store!  lol...  But thanks for the suggestions!  I will have to look for those low sugar ice cream sandwiches.  Where have you found them at?  I looked at several local stores, but haven't seen them!  ummmm.....

Thanks,
Jess

hey jess,

I get the skinny cow ice cream sammies from walmart, i also found a krackle ice cream thing on a stick by blue bell, lol sorry i dont know what its called, at breaux mart.  i am not sure where you live but i know there are a few breaux marts around.  good luck chick!!!  - tori

SF Jello, SF Puddings, Light Yogurts... no sugar added sweets... fruit.. SF ice pops. There are quite a few options out of there. You can also eat a small amount of 'normal' food... a good piece of dark chocolate... a small handful of something... as long as you keep the sugar low you will be ok... a single hershey kiss. If they are trigger foods for you of course avoid but a little taste/treat now and then can be good as long as you really enjoy it.

 

Honestly I know where you coming from, I haven't even had the surgery yet but I have given up soda, candy, and working on pasta and breads etc. Well, I work as a cook to start with which always has me around food from veggies to sweets. Well, I snapped at one of my co-workers he was just pushing all of my buttons and normally I am a very sweet person who it takes alot to get me angry but dealing with withdraws I just snapped at him. I felt bad afterwards and said sorry but sometimes being female and having hormones makes us do crazy stuff. Turns out a few days later I started my period. I knew something was up.
