Silly girl…
Well, after having reasonable success with curtailing a binge yesterday, I chose to collect my tokens in advance today and went for an early exercise walk in the rain… I’ll be working late today, I just know it, deadlines are there to be JUST CAUGHT in my view , so I do most of the work the night before and not a minute sooner…

When I came back from my walk today, it dawned on me…
rn
rn
… why I sometimes feel a bit more under the weather than usually - even though I feel reasonably healthy and life is good in general…
rn
rn
… why when I check my ebay history record, I seem to be doing all my impulse shopping around the same day of the month….
rn
rn
… why I seem to get into more email quarrels than usually at around the same time…
rn
rn
… why at that particular time I feel less inclined to wax my legs or do my makeup…
rn
rn
… why at that particular time also find myself shopping for more food than I need to get by…
rn
rn
… why at that particular time bring all the art history and poetry books from the shelves…
rn
rn
…. need more clues? No, it’s not pay day time of month… it’s THAT time of the month. 
Booo hooo, that was the reason for the escapade into nuts and choc, for the self pity…
rn
rn
… why didn’t I catch it before? Because I don’t know the date by hard and I don’t go and check it… ever… because I don’t need to, I know my body well enough that I get warnings well in advance, usually, the swelling, the bad hair days, the bad skin, the sweating, the clothes not fitting very well… well this time, I noticed none of these things! Because I was drinking a lot of water and eating a very healthy diet and losing weight
Well at least you recognize it now. I use to be the same way! Now, I have come to see some changes with that TOM. The more I take care of myself with diet and exercise, the more the symptoms lessen. Maybe it is a mind thing for me but I feel better about it when I do all the right things for my body. I hope you feel better and maybe go wax your legs or something! LOL!
Just kidding! Havea great day Lidecka!
Isn’t it amazing when we see ourselves from a different light and that realization hits us that there IS a reason for us doing some of the things that we do?? Just the fact that you see what’s up is great….now you can be prepared and not feel so crazy when something like that hits you!!
I wish my body were “regular” in that sense so I could make some plans to get through, but alas, mine is not. That makes it really difficult to prepare.
You have a great day hun and just work your way through TOM…it’ll be over before you know it.
LOL!
Been there, done that, over and over and over again!
The funny thing is that even when I try to keep track of it, I find that it will change by a few days every month and eventually I’m caught by surprise again.
Well in that case, you’re did spectacularly well!!! Chin up Lidecka!!
Keep your chin up, your a great buddy whatever time of the month! You’re lucky you tend to use retail therapy only once a month…my bank balance wishes I would! Take care and stay smiling xxx
