If I lose a few pounds, at time of month get sudden urge to overeat

[Feelingfortyisntfun]

I just thought I’d ask how others are maintaining their weight loss?

I’m finding this all so much harder post 40, I lose a few pounds over the course of a few weeks then prior to my menstruation bang hunger hormone, binge and back to previous weight + it’s so disheartening. I actually brought chocolate tiffins, rice cakes bread - and ate the lot. Admittedly the day before my period but my low mood and massive appetite are challenging

Anyone else? Any solutions ?

Yep . Just don’t have stuff in the house.

Tip I was given is buy mouthwash. When getting urge to eat have a gargle. It’s working for me so far.
