cravings during pms

lucyladybug Posts: 160 Joined: 2003/01/27	2003/03/19, 06:05 PM Oh please, I need advice. I am doing so well with eating right and having a wonderful exercise plan. But the week before my period I get these awful cravings. Mostly it is for chocolate and ice cream. I gave up chocolate for Lent and today I gave in to my craving for ice cream and felt horrible afterward. I cannot seem to force myself to eat fruit and veggies during pms week.

It is ok to have it once in a while. YOu will hear to give yourself a cheat day. Well, I don't really give myself a cheat day, rather I give myself one snack a day. Try adding some sweet fruit to yogurt and it may help to shed the craving a bit. Or make a milkshake and add a scoop of protein in it, at least you will get a little bit more out of your shake than just fat and calories. -------------- Lisa Just laugh about it....

They're near the "diet" ice creams (ha ha ha). Anyway, I like them because 1. they taste good and 2. the portion is controlled so I don't go having a 1/2 carton at once! Kind of expensive but they go on sale pretty often. But you shouldn't have them around all the time anyway!
