Within the past week and a half I've started slowly cutting back my food portions and to my delight I discovered a few days ago that I lost a pound. (I'm sure I actually lost it because I keep track of my normal weight fluctuations and I haven't seen it at this weight ever) However, I noticed that yesterday in the afternoon I started eating a lot. At first I wasn't sure why but with the addition of tender breasts and becoming a choco-holic today I'm pretty sure pms is the reason. I've read before that exercise is less effective during your period and now I'm worried that this excess eating might curb my weight loss or even worse make me gain. Should I be worried? I've also wondered why do women seem to become chocolate fanatics when they're pms-ing? Can anyone help me out?

Before I get my period I get sore breasts, cramps, and I bloat, so I would say that it's related to your period.

this is ralph's wife speaking. It sounds like this is a hormonal thing,however, it could be your blood sugar.when mine gets too low,I cannot eat enough,there is also cravings for sweets.Maybe you blood sugar gets low around certain times.Have you ever had it tested?I'm still going with the hormone thing though.

not to worry =chocolate is soothing and you can still lose weight too

Yes it does, and chocolate well.....all i can say is its chocolate
