For the ladies
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!!!) |

You can easily gain 2.5 lbs in glycogen/water, but you do have to eat and drink something to do it. |

Don't worry, it's completely normal to retain water as TOM gets near. Some months I gain over 5 lbs. Of course it doesn't help that I crave salt at that time. Why can't I crave chocolate like any normal woman? lol -- Jeri "Change is inevitable, except from vending machines." |

Ditto. I'm fighting that right now. Weighed in this morning at 205, up
from 203, but TOM is getting close. Just remind yourself that it IS just water, it will come off, and exercise a little more. Exercise helps me to get it back down, even during my TOM, and it helps alleviate my cramping and bloating. (I know, guys. How pleasant!) -- Linda 296/203/160 LC since Oct. 13, 2003 http://home.att.net/~lewis_linda/index.html "Jeri" wrote in message ...

Time of the month. A euphemism for menstruation.
