2006 C1D23: Mini-Wheat Munchies

I hate this time of the month.

For three weeks out of any given month I can eat the same healthy meals day after day and feel just peachy. I don’t have cravings, I laugh in the face of frosted grocery store cupcakes at work, and I order my dry chicken salad with balsamic vinegar at restaurants with a cheery smile. But during the one week of PMS, all I want to do is tear through Chris’s shelf of boxed cereal like Godzilla on a rampage through Tokyo.

:medusa:

Man, that box of spoon-sized Frosted Mini-Wheats looked great last night.

I had to lock myself into the computer room at the opposite end of the house and re-do my entire monthly budget to get myself away from the Overflowing Pantry of Carb Temptation.

I managed to make it to bed without giving in, but it was tough.

I just need to get through three more days of this, then I will be fine again.
