Appetite

[Starmaker]

Man I am so weird! Last week I couldn't eat, I had almost zero for an appetite, but the minute that TOM is a week away...LOOK OUT! I am gonna eat the house! ok well a slight exaggeration perhaps...but I just seem to need more food. Am I alone in this? I am fighting the urge to have ANY cream cheese because it does me in, I gain weight when I eat it. So I am trying to eat MORE meat...MORE salad etc.

Star........Girl you have know Idea......I wanna eat everything I can get my hands on and then some....And the sugar cravings are sooooo strong.....When this happens I have to take a nap immediately or I will end up tearing the house apart......

If you extremely hungry try eating some pepperoni.....It always makes me thirsty and then you end up drinking plenty of water and that will fill you up quickly....

Good Luck

I have felt like that on occasion. Everything seems to be going along fine and then all of a sudden, one morning I wake up raging hungry. When that happens, I eat and eat and eat and eventually it goes away. I eat a big greek omelet or I will have a good rib eye with lots of butter. Yum. I do not eat the sweets. I am so scared that if I give in even a little bit, I will crash and burn....

I'm feeling the same way....last week I could barely finish my lunch. I'd get queasy at the thought of eating sometimes. Now that my TOM is couple days away, I'm having all sorts of evil thoughts...BUT I did walk past the office donuts without stopping (even for a look)!

I agree with you, I think I'm going to up my portions slightly - hopefully that will help.

It does work but if I don't have some tasty seasoned meat ready to devour when these evil cravings hit, then I am doomed. I try to keep greek lemon chicken pieces and pork riblets (also greek) in the fridge at all times. The greek riblets, i could eat those every day YUM!, But if I deviate from my plan at TOM, even for that monthly "treat myself to some cream cheese" adventure...I just GAIN!, and it sets my weight loss back a week! I am not going to let TOM ruin a perfectly good month so this TOM...NO cream cheese! No Pork rinds! No legal treats! I am stoked!

I was really worried about my upcoming (that came early) TOM and didnt realize that my sudden fascination with Finellys cheesecake pudding recipe this past weekend was my PMS cravings. I had some every night for 4 days and now that TOM has arrived I have stopped.

It could be too much of a habit for me and Im sure it would stall me if I was to make it every day. Wish I could though.......... it was REALLY good.

I dont think the salad will do it for ya so hit whatever you can with high fat.

You can get thru! Focus! Post! Gripe over Aunt Flo's visit! Drink water!

Did I leave anything out??

[Starmaker]

No salads won't cut it, but my fave concoction which is cream cheese, pumpkin w pumpkin pie spice, and carb options peanut better makes me GAIN!

Gee I dunno it might have something to do with the fact that I can't help but eat the WHOLE darn BRICK! Whaddya think?

LOL

THAT is just how I felt earlier this week. I had to force myself to bypass that particular item today. Had to have my daughter pull me up the aisle as I dragged my feet by............ and wimpered.

I find on Atkins that cream cheese is rather addicting.

It's awful, isn't it? I generally stay away from the legal sweet treats in favor of all things sodium. Sure, I blow up like a balloon and retain more water than the Hoover Dam, but <shrug> I'll take water weight that I can flush out (no pun intended - heh) in a day or two over 235402349850349850349856 calories in cream cheese, cheese, and flax seed bread concotions. LOL

Its the DEVIL for me, I'm going to go knaw on a hunk of fat for awhile, maybe that will help me! Grrrrrrrrrrr
