  • I hate TOM

    Ugh ugh ugh...

    Today is the FIRST day since I started in August that I had a real honest-to-god craving for something "bad." I've been ravenous all day (but I'm not sure if it's from TOM, I think it's because I didn't eat my normal omelette or mock danish for breakfast--all I had was a piece of string cheese) and thus I feel like I've been eating all day...even though I'm at a slightly higher-than-normal 1600 calories according to fitday.

    My craving? I wanted chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!!! I picked up this little box of sugar free chocolates that I purchased before I knew how evil they were and I held it in my pudgy hands and resisted the urge. I guess I am kind of a nerd--my craving was for sugar free rather than "real" chocolate.

    I fixed myself some chocolate "mousse" instead and that did the trick, even though I didn't measure the cream. I know I had more than my daily allowance, but I think I'll live.

    Oh well, just wanted to vent. I was so proud of the fact that I hadn't wanted to eat anything off-plan, and tonight for me to actually eye up bad foods was pretty scary and kind of shocking.

    Ugh I have also gained because of TOM and I am not looking forward to weigh-in on Friday...YUCK!

      Can I join the "we hate TOM" club? LOL I am right there with you guys! I was hungry all week, always happens before it gets here...I don't really crave anything but want to eat all day long, like I can't get full and I know I gained at least 5 lbs. before it... I always get so nervous that it won't all go away... does that happen to you too?

        Nervous!? Yes. I was so freaking out that I'd mess up all my hard work on this two week challenge by overeating. Then I figured if I still ate legal it would be okay! So I nibbled on shrimp and snacked on fish! Lower calories and it's protein! It seemed to keep me full longer. I don't feel bloated.. but man, the pain was even in my leg muscles. I actually marched in place while we watched the Biggest Loser.

          I gain anywhere from 5-10lb during TOM. I look like a sausage in pants that normally fit well. I'm ravenous, and not just for chocolate--but I feel a lot better today...I think I'll be OK now.

            Yea Juli I am happy for you... surprising mine seemed to be less painful this time around... I am just over here biting my nails wondering when this weight gain is going to finally be gone!
