I have been faithful with my nutrition and exercise for the past 2 weeks SOLID. I know that my TOM is coming any day.

Out of nowhere I have given in to chocolate and a cookie today...and didn't want to...but it's almost as if my body 'needs' it...HELP...It's ending up in my mouth before I know it.

I am also frustrated with what the scale does during that week...I think I will have my daughter hide the scale until a couple days after it's all over. The fluid retention could push me over the edge!

Any suggestions/tips to keep the fluid retention down and the 'cravings' at bay?

I don't want to get off track. I have lost 9 pounds and want to keep going.
