Totally screwed up eating wise this weekend felt zero restriction. My TOM is this week so I always gain. I get so mad at myself because I have to do this and I'm not giving up this time!!!

Sorry about the rant no one understands except for this community ::hugs::

Tomorrow is a new day.....

I always gain on my TOM, and I know the scale will show me a depressing number, so i refuse to weight myself until the week after. It's much better for me psychology.

I think you're right, I don't know why I weighed myself, I think it was to teach myself a lesson that I can't slack off no matter what. I really am attributing the weight gain (most of it) to the TOM, darnit!

Thank you for your support as well

I had a total hysterecotomy when I was 36 and I have to tell you, my TOM was and still is the EOM. {end of the month}. I don't have to know the date but when the 25, 26th comes around, I know why I was always craving chocolate, mainly funny bones. I am not a sweet eater, and after many years of fighting the will, I just go with it. Milk and funny bones, chips and whatever else for a few days. Then it's over. However, just having the lap band, ironically at the EOM of January, I have to see how things go at the end of Feb. It's in my head and will always be there. I wouldn't worry about it, it too shall pass. Except it and then get back to eating more healthy the rest of the month. It's not worth the stress. Good luck.

what does TOM mean?

TOM = Time Of Month aka Aunt Flo
