That *TOM* again!!!!

Alright girls.......it's arrived very early, and surprised the heck out of me- however all the triggers were there for me to see.


Yesterday I was in a deep slump, and just couldn't get out of it; there were even several bouts of tears- for no reason whatsoever!! It drove me cRaZy.....but then this morning it all made sense!


The other trigger was a 'hate-this-body' feeling I've had for the past couple of days. Nothing fit right, I didn't feel good in anything. Not a very positive way to start the year off.


The good thing is I know I'll feel so much better about myself in just a few days ;-)


I know this is something we've discussed before but- What other triggers/PMS symptoms do you experience? And how do you deal with them?

SALT!! Is the worst craving I have and I'm so use to it I often don't even relate it to PMS, however, it must be. When I want salt I make the worst food choices. I wonder if there are any other health related issues that could cause you to crave salt?? HMmmm

You were right cuz my TOM arrived after the gym this morning...I am hiding in my room after having just wanting to yell at my boyfriend for leaving a newspaper lying around.

Does anyone notice if they do in fact lose or gain weight during their period? Cuz to be honest there has not been a change, only in my body composition, if that makes any sense at all. I notice I feel a bit more wobily but the scale will keep going down?

I can gain anywhere from 2 to 5 pounds during TOM. I'm assuming it is water weight, and my craving for salty things probably doesn't help much in this regard! LOL

I'm the same way - the scale will go up anywhere from 2-5 pounds for me too!

I think I, too, gain about 2-5 pounds during that time, probably usually about 3.

Yup...I have the fluctuations during TOM too- usually about 3lbs. I stay off the scale until at least after TOM.....and am always happy to see those lbs
