I woke Saturday morning to discover TOM came for a visit (Time Of Month), and I feared for my sanity, and the sanity of my family. You see........ PMS, CRAVINGS FOR SWEETS, and DIETS just don't mix. I worried I might succumb to my cravings, or worse, take out my frustrations on my family. I warned my husband a head of time that he may be in for a rough day. I even thought about making a sign to wear that said "WARNING: DIETING WOMAN ON HER PERIOD. APPROACH WITH EXTREME CAUTION". ;) The warnings to my husband proved to be unwarranted. The "Sweets Cravings" never kicked in, which is a miracle, given my past history. Even my feet didn't swell like they typically do. Usually a week before and all during TOM, my feet and ankles swell up pretty bad. They Didn't!! And the best part?
I survived the weekend remaining On Plan, and with my Sanity intact!!!
I weigh in tonight, and I'm worried that because of TOM, I may not have a weight loss this week. I have read on the Medifast Forums, that a lot of women do not lose during their TOM, and if they do lose, it is minimal. I'm trying to prepare myself so I will not be too disappointed at my Weigh In tonight.
Wish Me Luck!!
