Blog for April 3/5

This Blog is directed to every girl out there that hates getting her period. I mean honestly you just start a diet and your about two or three weeks into it and it crashes. Your unbearable cravings tell you to just eat that brownie, that soft chewy chocolate deliciousness. So after fighting the craving for hours on end you give in, you gobble that brownie with 25 grams of fat and 520 calories so fast you can barely taste the chocolatey sensation. However, once you flip that wrapper around and see the nutrition label you about want to shoot yourself. Your hour and a half work out can't save you now. I seriously go through this endless cycle every month! My cravings get the best of me and I give into food like its a million dollars on my plate. When I am about four days away from getting my period I eat food like it is my job, sweets and junk food are like a thousand dollar bonus on my pay check. However, after everytime I give into the sweetness of those sugary treats I always regret it and wish that I would have just eaten an apple or a piece of celery or something. It is as if someone is holding a gun to my head saying, "EAT THE BOWL OF ICE CREAM OR DIE!" So of course I dont want to get shot so I eat that damn bowl of ice cream and I enjoy it!
But seriously, the only good thing about having this monthly visitor from hell, is the fact that you can always use the line, "Gosh I have just been eating terribly lately... but I have my period" and then every girl around you will sympathize and say "OOOH I hate that!" It really makes me laugh too because once you open the subject about having your period every girl will break out their stories about how they act during their period. For example during my period about the second day into it I am an emotional wreck! A normal conversation with my boyfriend of him teasing me and joking around telling me I have a smelly butt will make me break down in tears! I will get so worked up about it that I wont talk to him for the rest of the day and I will cry myself to sleep. Granted it is not ALWAYS that bad, but it really did happen one time. Another time I watched the movie Tristin and Isolde during my period and I cried so hard that I had to find a different pillow to sleep on that night because I had cried so hard that my pillow was soaking wet.
But basically the purpose of this story is to complain. I am complaining about the fact that the last two days I have been eating like a lineman from a professional football team and I feel like I might be able to outweigh him with all the crap I ate today. It is very depressing when you work so hard to try to lose weight and all your period will let you do is gain it make at the end of each month. IT SUCKS!
