How do you handle the cravings to just EAT when your PMS is really, really bad? Some months it is just a mind over matter situation, but others, I just want SALT and FAT and I want it NOW. Sometimes I really want chocolate and I don't even LIKE Chocolate (I know that is because it is a diuretic, but yuck!). I am eating pretty healthfully the rest of the month -- not much sugar or white flour, sometimes none at all -- which I understand can make PMS cravings worse. Does anyone else have suggestions?
I have always had pretty bad PMS but I had a LOT of fertility drugs dumped into my system for a few years there and now I am in my 40s -- so all this adds up to making my symptoms more intense. I take my Midol and I work out except for the one or two days a month where all I want to do is sleep because of my PMS.
Thanks,
