I gain anywhere from 5 to 10 lbs during my tom. I like to use those days as
"rest" days from lowcarbing. I don't know if its the raging hormones but
it's the only time of the month where I can eat 1 piece of bread or a
handful of chips and not want more. If it's not my TOM I can't eat bread or
chips because it sends me into such a downward spiral.

I am getting close to TOM and things are getting weird.

One day i woke up and was 2.5 lbs up. No way you can just gain that
overnight!!! So i started getting suspicious. I didn't change my diet in
any
big way. i went out to dinner one night and ate a piece of grilled chicken
and some shrimp that could have been marinated in something. I don't thin
kthis would do anything more than stall me a little - not send the scales
through the roof!!

Just let me know if I should relax and wait till after TOM to even look at
the scale again.

(and for you scale-haters out the Don't even reply! I don't wanna hear
it! Step away from you r keyboard!!!)
