AIBU to feel like this?

[PeaceAndHope]

I am PMSing. Badly.

I have eaten four mini Betty Crocker cakes all by myself in 6 days in addition to my normal meals. I cannot stop craving sugar, especially cake!!!!!!

I have battled with my weight all my life and just this year I finally attained the weight that I had always wanted. I'm now a size 6 which I never thought was possible even in my wildest dreams. I have been so good with my diet and I really want to maintain the way I am now. :( But because the ten or so days leading up to my period are such a nightmare, it always throws my diet off and this time was particularly bad.

I don't know if it's bloating and water retention, but I already feel like I have gained weight and it's making me panicky.

AIBU to feel this way?

No you're not! I feel as if it's an uncontrollable need tbh and to some extent I give in to it although I have found that having a low cal hot choc (or even a non lo cal one!) can do the trick. I am fortunate in that my pms only lasts a couple of days though. I'm really sorry that yours is so debilitating. It must be horrible.

Who's not understanding that MiniMonty? I think the OP is worried (possibly too worried!) about exactly that! She is saying that she tries to avoid sugary foods normally but can't when she has PMS.
