I need help to get these cravings under control! A couple days ago I couldn't make myself eat, and now I feel like I could shove anything and everything in my mouth! I'm also craving soda, which makes no sense because I haven't drank soda in almost two months. I've had to consciously tell myself to quit browsing the cabinets and fridge every time I walk through the kitchen. Grrr!

Some dark chocolate and almonds can help. I don't know what to tell you about craving soda you will just have to tough that one out. Get some sugar free hot chocolate. Its delish when you want something hot.

Also sugar free chocolate pudding helps me during those times. You can get the Jello brand in the refrigerated section and they have some good flavors for about 60 calories! If you buy the hunts Sugar Free Chocolate pudding (not in fridge section) it has 30% Calcium and about 60 calories / that helps me! I haven't drank any diet soda since I weaned myself off during my pre-op surgery diet. If you're craving something different to drink / try crystal light ( I love peach tea / there's also other flavors to kind-of change it up! Just a suggestion

dealing with this right now...i am not a sweet (crave sweets) person but more crunchy...so those cute little 100 cal pop corn snack bags are yummy and what i want....and i am drinking all the time..trying to help navigate the water gain out...hang in there

UGH....I hate this time of the month for this very reason. I crave anything salty and crunchy, doritos or cheetos mostly. I do let myself indulge in these items, I just make myself jog a little extra at the gym!!

Chocooooolaaaaate!!!!! I had my son hide his Halloween candy. The day after Halloween I ate two handfuls for breakfast. Not sugar free....the bad good stuff. Being fat, banded, at Halloween on your period is just not right! And this is like my second week being on my period (PCOS...ugh dont ask) blah blah vent, done. : D
