Why have i lost all self restriction?! PLEASE HELP);?

Question

i used to be the BIGGEST health freak. i would not put an ounce of fat into my body. even up to a couple days ago. i just got my period yesterday, & i've had two-a-days for volleyball. a total of 8 hours a day. now i just dont care. last night i had fried icecream, mint chocolate chip ice cream & a pina coloada. today i had these sugary puffcorn treats & a sundae at this one party & have just been eating junk here & there the past few days. its completely & TOTALLY unlike me. what is it that i now have NO self restriction? is it from my period.. what? i need help. OR how can i gain that restriction back? please help!);

Answer 1

well, your period has a lot to do with it. your body needs extra nutrients to make up for the ones you lose during your cycle. cravings go nuts and sometimes it's good to give in [a little] but you need some self control!!! you can't go too crazy, it's not good for you. once you fall into bad eating habits it's hard to get back on track. just try to eat as healthy as you can but a little junk food [especially when it's "that time"] won't hurt as long as it's in moderation =)

don't beat yourself up over it, it happens to the best of us!!
