So if you're maintaining weight, go ahead and eat a little more to not be hungry. If you're trying to lose, I guess you can wait out the hunger and take advantage of the extra calorie deficit.

Maybe a chocolate icecream sundae from a fave icecream store, or two peices of the best godiva chocolate. If its something that I'm really craving and really wanting, I can satisfy it with one thing. If cravings pop up again, I go for a walk or a run. It helps get my mind off it and also helps with the cramping/bloating. Double bonus. :D When I get wicked pms’y and crave anything edible in sight, I usually get something thats *really* good and go with that as a treat.

I am PMSing right now (I'm a bit late) and have been having the worst sweet tooth ever, and tonight I over-indulged to the point where I now feel slightly sick =\ ugh. TOM always seems to screw up the good streak I have been having with eating healthy/working out. I have yet to have had a month in awhile where I can get through that week of my period and still stay somewhat on track with my diet/fitness goals! ugh! I don't have many answers - just saying I know where you are coming from. I'm thinking all it takes is just some extra willpower, to turn down that slice of cake and go for a walk. whenever I do so I always feel 100X times better than when I eat the cake - but then it's so hard to remember that when I just want to totally dig in the next month/whenever!! hang in there! :P Hey Mia,

I am on my period right now and i have been eating like a madwoman! It is really hard for me to control these cravings so i usually just give in. What about the rest of you - do you guys have a way to stop yourself or do you just give in too? Thanks! Hey guys
