TOM Question for all the Ladies!

nia · 04-25-2007, 11:19 AM

Hey everyone,

I have a quick question about TOM, I am feeling so bloated and awful at the moment and I am guessing that it's becuase TOM is due. Will this all go away. I look like I have put on every pound I have lost and I feel miserable. Also I am craving food 24/7 i'm not even hungry I just can't quit picking at chicken and cheese etc. No cheats but I am eating far far more than normal, and i'm back to being preoccupied with food.

Is this normal???

What should I expect?

Please please someone write back, i'm feeling really down

For me, when TOM comes I crave chocolate!

I know I can't have that, so I do try to make up for it with other stuff. Hope someone else helps you out. That's all I know!

I'm right there with you...and I'm not going off the diet either, just taking more food to make me feel good now!

Hope it all works out for you!

I suffer each time TOM is visiting, and its not just one certain thing I crave...its anything not nailed down...lol. Seriously though just try and stick with LC snacks (like your doing) and hang in there til he makes a exit.

I go through the same thing every month and gain back 3-7 pounds. It goes away a week later as long as I watch what I eat. Keep doing the healthy snacks in moderation! Hang in there!

I have a personal question. Did any of you ladies get your TOM randomly after starting the low carb diet? I had my TOM then started the diet and got it 2 weeks later again. I just wanted to know if this is normal due to the huge diet change.
