I always put on a few pounds just before TOM and have tremendous chocolate cravings. I just drink more water and have learned to ignore the chocolate cravings, becaue when I give in, it takes me weeks to get back on track!!! Just not worth it.

Stay away from the scale at that time, it has such a negative effect! The bars and stuff aren'' a good idea either, they can be a real trap!

a couple of months and you probably won't have the pre TOM troubles as much. they seem to subside.
