Hungry Mungry.

I have serious cravings for all of my old standard comfort foods when I'm PMSing -- fried food, especially french fries, as well as sugary snacks. Usually I just give into them, albeit on a much smaller scale than I used to. I bought some Hot Tamales (one of my favorite candies) on Saturday and have eaten a few. Straight sugar. I've found that my weight loss isn't really significantly affected, as long as most of the time I'm still eating healthily and I'm exercising like usual. I get some bloat but it's usually gone by the following week.

Today I brought yogurt and granola for breakfast, despite having a strong urge to get a chicken biscuit instead. Now it's lunchtime and my tuna salad isn't appealing to me at all. Instead I want some fast food, preferably with french fries and maybe chicken strips with a yummy dipping sauce like honey mustard. Lots of fat and salt. Oy.

I just seem to be hungrier during this time of the month. I know part of it is head hunger, but jeez, it's just annoying. It helps to make sure I'm eating on schedule; I try to avoid snacks but it isn't always possible. Sometimes they keep me from really getting into trouble. I'm going to get out my tuna salad now...
