Emergency PMS Help

So I wish I was a person who craved salad, but the lovely genes I inherited make me crave bread and chocolate (ask my grandmother). When the time of the month attacks, I am freaking starving and want only horribly unhealthy food. It's the one time I have a serious problem with self control on portions and meals.

Due to my condition I'm also a lot weaker at that time, so the dishes are usually not done and cooking is a lot harder. Smoothies are easy enough to fix but you have to have the sink empty and I have no dishwasher.

Solution:

1. Don't bring it in the house. I literally will not let myself purchase any kind of ice cream (fat free or otherwise), pasta, bread, pizza, whatever. Have something frozen you can defrost and eat. Veggie soup and my teriyaki chicken/veggie/rice combo is really filling which helps, and it satisfies. When that's literally all you have in the house, don't let yourself go out for fast food, and you're forced to eat the healthy stuff you have.

2. Tootsie rolls. I may eat a handful of them, but it's better than 8 Twix bars or tons of ice cream. I have dark chocolate hershey kisses and mini york peppermint patties sometimes too, but I go through those faster.

3. Water water water. I already drink a ton of water but I make myself have some before ever eating anything. It helps me eat less since I'm less dehydrated and more full.

4. For some reason I crave peanut butter. I have reduced fat peanut butter but if I'm not careful and there's nothing else I want to eat half the jar with a spoon. I try to have apples and celery around to eat it with so I get full faster, I'm satisfied that I got some, and it's healthier.

5. If I do have a smoothie on hand or one frozen, it surprised me that for some reason it satisfies my chocolate cravings. I don't know why, but I'll take it lol.

6. Keep the mentality. I saw a picture the other day showing female body parts, asking things like "Would you rather have that piece of cake, or thighs that don't touch?" It seemed really shallow, and I'm more for the "healthy lifestyle" than "I must look perfect" thing, but it's harsh enough to get some perspective when I'm having a hard time controlling myself and I'm pissed off and emotional and not much for discipline anyway. : )
