Dealing with the Ughs

After my last post things have been waning between "I am good. I'm not hungry. I can do this" and "Oh my god, if my own fist could be a food, I would have eaten it by now." I ate an Eddy's all natural fruit popsicle (oh my god, they are my favorite). That was good because it was slow, cold for my sore throat, and it put me at about 2050. My goal on fitday is to eat between 2000 and 2200 calories a day, but I've been coming in between 1800 and 2000 most days. I thought that 2000 would be more than enough, but I haven't felt this hungry so far. I made good choices all day until Happy Hour, but it hit me before then. The two beers and the two pieces of pizza were not the best choices, but they didn't cause the intense hunger.

I was good until about midnight. I am sore and pms-y, so I decided to work out. I did 25 min. of resistance training, and it felt good. But the hunger didn't go away. I ate some cottage cheese, to put me at 2140, and now I'm praying I can make it to my bed without first eating it.

Is this going to happen every TOM? Is this going to last for days? I feel MUCH crankier than I normally would. If increased PMS is a sign of my healthier lifestyle, I might rather be fat.

Well, probably not. But I have a hunch that a king size snickers might solve this. Lord, grant me the strength not to find out.
