bottomless pit

Oh my gosh! I feel like I could eat a whole cow! THis TOM is really killing me. I know if I make it thru the next few days I will be thrilled when I get on the scale but I feel like I ate all day and am still hungry!!!!! UGG!

Oh man, I know what you are talking about! The days before TOM make me crave carbs! Anybody out there have sugesstions on what we should eat? I have been drinking tons of water, hoping when TOM comes, I'll get a wooshie!

I thought i was the only one that felt that way. last week i was just plain hungry all the time. I uped my fats but i was constantly munching. But now its gone.

the only suggestion i have is just have the right foods beside you and keep drinking that water

Try a fatty snack like some cream cheese. I was this way last TOM. I thought I could eat everything in sight. I even ate a tablespoon of peanut butter (since I am on extended induction) trying to find something to satisfy my brain's craving. I'm not advocating PB by the way, just saying I ate it. Anyhow, try some clouds. Alot of ladies swear by them. BikerGoddess Pizza for dinner might be another good option. With all the meat and cheese it should be a good fix too.

Or even try to up your exercise, take an extra walk around the block if you're up to it.

Hang in there

What are clouds?

Clouds

8 ounces cream cheese -- room temperature
1/2 cup butter -- room temperature
1/2 cup artificial sweetener -- (Splenda, equal, etc.)


Mix all together and drop by spoonfuls onto pan or plate and freeze. These are very rich, so make small droppings. Store frozen clouds in a zip lock bag.
