Let's get real for a second: every girl has a difficult..."time" about once every month.
The majority of females would agree with me when I say it's hell. The worst parts would just be the mood swings, bloating, pain, and the food cravings. Normally I stick to the basic menstruation diet: chocolate, Taco Bell, chocolate, and McDonalds. Since I've had to change my diet, it's been a little stressful. Well, stressful is an understatement. I called my boyfriend with tears in my eyes because I wanted fried chicken. That sounds silly, but c'mon ladies- we've all been there.
So I've been on a (grumpy) quest to find alternatives to my cravings. I can still stuff my face with chocolate, and for that I'm very grateful. Not only have I been gradually changing my diet, I've also been trying to eat healthier. To maintain my hunger for sweets, I find myself eating a lot more fruit. I've also started to switch from soda to water. My skin and hair seem to be in better shape and I have more energy.
Even though all I want is a burrito and Doritos Locos taco, I really want to stick to my experiment.
Wish me luck!
I totally understand what you were going through because I always crave those similar foods. I'm glad to hear that you were able to stick it out and not eat any meat.
ReplyDeleteKeep at it Sarah, you've been doing so great! It's good to hear you're feeling the benefits of eating healthier (more energy, better skin/hair) - they can help fuel the motivation to stick to the healthier choices. Best wishes girl!
ReplyDeleteYAY you made it through! I highfive you for that, as you said we have all been there! I have recently switched to just drinking water and i can so agree with you on the feeling better and stuff! That is a great plus side and great motivation to keep you moving forward in your experiment! Good luck! keep it up!
