Hi Jennifer

That time of the month is a big deal for me also, cravings wise. I know a lot of people here suggest having more browns than usual at that time, but for some reason i have never gotten round to it, because i am never quite sure when the effects of the time of the month start for me. I am at that time of the month now, or should be date wise, but nothing has happened yet, and had horrendous cravings at the start of last week that have led me to have sugar twice in the past two weeks. I always seem to be caught unawares, although i do remember having the thought that the symptoms start for me the week before it actually occurs. I do write the date of this in my food journal monthly, and should really start to write down as I come up to the week before, that I should be having more browns. It's just hard to remember how long it has been since the last time, and i suppose i will have to regularly check back in my journal to see how long left there is until the time i need to increase the browns.

Hope that helps.

Love

Jane

: Hi

: Just wanted to say hello. I was doing
: RR a couple of years ago and left
: to sort out an eating disorder. I
: believe I am ready to be here now
: and try again to do the steps.

: One thing that has shifted
: dramatically since I was last here
: is that PMS is now a horrid time
: for me, craving-wise. Maybe it's
: hormonal shift or perhaps it's SS,
: but I notice a marked difference
: between now and two years ago.

: Anyway, first things first: trying to
: get breakfast solid. Yesterday was
: good. Today, not so good. I'll try
: again tomorrow.

: If you have any thoughts or
: suggestions for dealing with rabid
: PMS cravings (although I suspect
: doing the food is the best
: solution), I'm all ears. Is there
: an online group for women with
: similar concerns?

: Thank you for being here.
