I'm pmsing which is something I've always had a issue with. I get really hungry for the worse kind of things and today was no exception.

I ate about 8 miniature snickers and a small bag of lays potato chips. I'm feeling extra guilty but also hate the urges and cravings that come with my period. I've been trying so hard but sometimes I can't stay in control as much as I'd like or need to.

Does anyone have any tips to help with pmsing and all the cravings and wrecklessness?!

I am so sorry to hear you are struggling with this.

I would suggest you find some healthy alternatives.

If you are craving chocolate, can you try some chocolate Protein shakes, chocolate Calcium chews, or even chocolate pudding? WonderSlim has a dark chocolate protein pudding that is pretty good. Also, Quest has a double chocolate chunk bar that I like a lot. Protein Hot Chocolate is also a good way to get a chocolate fix.

If all else fails, try a small sized version of good quality dark chocolate. If I am going to indulge, I would choose quality.

As for the chips, you might try to find some protein chips for crunch. I recently discovered Mr. cheese O's which are really crunchy. They have become my post-swim snack pretty frequently.

I am sure other folks have ideas that may help.

@@cal2okl -- I have no suggestions for not indulging in junk food. What I do suggest is not wasting time and burning energy over "extra guilty." Guilt is a futile, often self-indulgent, emotion that sets you back from finding workable strategies. This of course is not to say I'm exempt, but I try to remind myself when I'm rolling in it. (It was decades ago that my view of guilt evolved from something unrelated to food or weight.)
