TOM is tough!!

bygrace · 04-25-2007, 08:33 PM

Hi all~

I'm hanging in there...I'm craving for the first time tonight..I'm sure it's TOM's fault....arrrrrgggghhhh~!!!

I think I may have eaten more than normal today...my menu increased..but with eggs and meat..but let me tell you.

I'm shocked!!!

ftblmom32 · 04-25-2007, 08:41 PM

I'm right with you...i had two jr. whoppers (minus bun) today!! and some hot sausage, and some fish, a side salad and some cheese, oh yeah, a hard boiled egg too.

3 pieces of SF coconut/chocolate candy.

It could be alot worse. I think in these days you should just EAT. Probably better choices than Burger King like me, but better than feeling deprived and miserable and hitting the oreos later.

Yea, TOM just kicked me in the bum! I ate WAY too much LC fudge trying to kick these cravings. I walked for a mile trying to convince myself I didn't ruin the day and when I came home I went straight to that fridge, grabbed that fudge and chunked in the disposal. I hear your pain! TOM bites!!

JoSkids · 04-26-2007, 08:57 AM

Yeah it's got me all bloated this morning - just when I was feeling thinner

elyseelyse · 04-26-2007, 09:04 AM

My arrived this morning. I am telling you - since last Friday I have been eating over 2500 cals a day. I finally feel a bit better, but geez, the more I ate, the hungrier I got.

Livywilltim-mom · 04-26-2007, 09:12 AM

Yikes!! I am pre-TOM myself!!

I would highly recommend Primrose Oil capsules for some of the bloating and discomfort. I have had great luck with it.

Peace

PRE TOM kicked in for me today as well!!!
It's aweful I feel like I gained 10lbs over night so I refuse to step on the scale until its over! I feel like

x10
And to top it off my dress for my brothers wedding came in and I got the dreaded call last night, so I have to go try it on

Hang in there it will be over soon...

veronicac · 04-26-2007, 09:42 AM

I just restarted on plan the day tom started,lastnight was hard for me i ate 3 sb bars pb/choco i guess its better than blowing tree days of hard work and eating the cc cookies i wanted.

Nicole im sure you look great in your dress

Sharis · 04-26-2007, 10:04 AM

Yep, I feel your pain as well. I give myself permission to just eat (LC) and I usually treat myself to some nice steaks during this time. I also find the coconut bark helpful to get me through. My calories are usually in the 2,000-3,000/day range during this time but I don't worry about it. You gotta do what you gotta do, right?!

bygrace · 04-26-2007, 11:16 AM

Wow...yeah, TOM is not good!! I'm looking forward to this passing...I want to find out more about CO..I'm gonna look it up now!

Do you replace all the oil in your diet with the CO??

(sorry for the switch)

AriannaLovesYou · 04-26-2007, 01:31 PM

Right there with you! I'm day 2 TOM today...UGHGHGHGHGHHH awful. I am so insatiably hungry, but trying to go running alot for the endorphins and to burn off my extra LC indulgence (like my 8,000 jellos i have eaten today!)

my1215boo · 04-28-2007, 11:28 AM

I did not plan very well, got mine 3 days into my start. Really I am not craving I just feel like total crap on top of total crap...

my1215boo · 05-26-2007, 08:07 PM

ok I am a month in now and I suppose mine is coming again because I want chocolate so bad I could cry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lisabinil · 05-27-2007, 05:11 AM

There is hope ladies-last Sunday I bloated to 208 from TOM and a soy problem. I kept my eating as strict and clean as I could this week (post TOM) and today I am at 201! I am a slow loser and if I can do it you guys can too! Now if I could only see onederland!
