Finally started my period (only 3 days late, but I'm usually exact) the cramps are terrible making me want to eat everything in sight. Any non medication ideas to relieve cramps, or to avoid cravings?

P.S. my throat is still pretty sore went to doc he said either viral or from the vomiting episode...

Historically, I don't think I ate enough real sugar items to affect my weight with any significance and with that, any subsequent dumping was just a sad consequence (with no real weight gain "suppression" benefits). My "normal" average calories are and remain 1800-2000 regardless of my occasional trip down sugar lane, LOL.
I think this recent phase of sugar-free chocolate mega-consumption just replaced the Water weight I lost (i.e, 6 lbs) immediate after PS. I was averaging probably 700 cals that first week. So i guess my carb increase (along with these damn chocolates) just put back what I lost as a result of the extreme calorie and carb deficit.
My body seems to like 115 lbs (based on an average calorie intake of 1800-2000 and my normal activity levels). I will go up or down a few pounds all the time but my average for the last 6-ish months is solidly around 115 lbs. Which is fine by me. So I am not really mourning the regain.
However, I really want to get toned and buff once I am cleared for exercise and I will need to figure out what my future new "normal" weight will be WHEN I add extra muscle. Also will need to figure out how to tweak my daily menus to support this endeavour. PROJECT!!

Get the raw flakes. Pimp em out. Then toast em. You have your own unique flavor!!

I've always liked the idea of these, but have yet to find a brand that isn't too sweet or too bland.
What brand do you have?

The day went amazing I got an awesome workout in the morning ( which my workmate doesn't stop hearing about cuz every time I stand up/sit down i make some interesting noise from muscle pain ) i ended up snacking quite a bit at night as i was up with my poor little sis who was burning up. These bugs going around are cray cray

I have been eating a berry Nut Mix (Hit the Trail H-E-B brand) it has walnuts, almonds, raisins and dried cranberries. I figured this was a good snack to have w protien from the nuts and the dried fruit being better than candy- so not good?

Highlight of my day yesterday was going Costo shopping to stock up on salad greens and chicken breasts. Weather sux here at the moment, so no outdoor walks. I've been feeling achy all over lately and as a result spent most of the day (again) on the couch or taking naps (I may be coming down with something?). Did I tell you that I totally binge watched "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan" this weekend? LOL. 2 seasons in less than 2 days. #addictedToThisShow #iNowHaveAcrushOnJohnKrasinski #bringOnSeasonThree

Purposefully ate little during the day as we had planned to go out for dinner at one of my fave french restaurants. Sadly, for various unremarkable reasons, we ended up at an Italian restaurant, which was ok, but I was looking forward to something else, so it was kinda a letdown. I ended up drinking more than I ate. Stopped for a little ice cream on the way home and rewarded with a gurgly stomach for an hour or so.

Oh, and my favourite prescription for everything: GO FOR A WALK ❤️

It always sucks to see the scale move up I feel your pain!!!

I think dried fruit has tons of sugar in it. It would keep my sweet toothe alive and kickin. But everyone is so very different. If it works for you, you're losing, you're satisfied, and it doesn't make you dump? Go for it!

They dont taste too sweet to me but I like things sweet

Well that’s the thing. I could do with out the dried fruit really but it does quench that sweet salty fix that I love (chocolate covered pretzels-ish) but if I did just the nut would those be a bad idea? I hear they are good for protien but then I also heard in another post to stay away from nuts.

I’ve started drinking a cup of cinnamon flavored coffee in the evening to try and quench that sweet tooth snacking urge while watching tv. Love love love it

Well, duh. Why didn't I think of that?
That is an excellent idea.

You can do sea salt, Asian (yum) and so much more. Savory/salty and sweet versions. But it can be addictive. But it's a great source of fat and Fiber and cals that won't cause dumping!! Sounds like exactly what you need, especially if you make a trail mix with it and nut combos and maybe even Lily's Extra Dark SF Choco Chips! And you could also make homemade dehydrated apple slices (thin) and pear slices (thin).


Also, you can order dehydrated fruit and veggie chips that are fat free and are pretty low carb/no sugar added and crunchy. So those would be good to combine with it too.

LOL, i've recently discovered Jordan's Skinny Girl line of sugar-free flavoured syrups that I put in my coffee or tea or cup of almond milk #yummie.

I love doing the cinnamon in my coffee at night without the sweetener cuz the cinnamon cuts my appetite with the bitter coffee. And also, it lowers insulin. Score!
