I don't know if I'm going to whine or just chew myself out here.

Believe me, I feel your pain! I don't have real solutions, because it's true that when the hormones kick in strongly enough, reason seems to go out the window, and I become an addict. At least know that you're not alone. In me, you have a carbohydrate companion, a chocolate chum, and a cakey donut comrade.

I tend to go in cycles where I'm either extremely disciplined or not at all. Do you tend to do that too? I don't have any luck with the eating just one even though I know that's the sensible way to approach it. Once that serotonin starts kicking in my body wants more!!

This sounds bizarre, but cooked kale helps me combat cravings. I read somewhere that bitter vinegary things do. When I was cooking a bag of it in chicken broth and apple cider vinegar, so I could just warm a bowl up whenever I needed it, it did really help. Guess I need to get back into that habit.

You're probably going through the down part of a cycle right now and before long you'll be on the upswing again. My sister in MD swears that the Jade GreenZymes we take helps her with symptoms, but I haven't been taking it as regularly as she has. Must get more disciplined!!

Good luck with your own personal battle. You've done so well in the past that I know you will again.

Bear hugs,

Rhonda

Rhonda, you've described me to a 'tee'.
