Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Dearest Bee, I almost emailed you privately about this, but then thought there might be other women in the group who could relate. Therefore, I'll tell my embarrassing story to the group: well, I was going along with your GREAT plan for 15 days and suddenly today (on day one of my period...NOT a coincidence!) I was overwhelmed with cravings. My appetite always increases during my period, but I never realized how much my willpower suffers too. I feel terrible disappoinment with myself because I went from 15 days of success to " falling off the wagon " in a big way. I ate homemade hummus, flax crackers, hemp seeds, tater tots, vegan gluten-free cookies, and " Rice Dream " rice ice cream with chocolate chips...i told you it was a doozy, and I am embarrassed to tell you all about it. I have given up caffeine successfully for more than three weeks, and the chocolate was the first tiny bit of caffeine I've had. I feel so sad that I " blew it " and want to know how to get back on track quickly. What do you recommend for hormonal fluctuations? More copper? Staying in bed and pulling the covers over my head? (Joking!!!) I have been taking copper and chromium and l-glutamine to quell sugar cravings. Also, I saw my ear doctor today who found a fungal infection in my ear---white and fuzzy-looking. I also hear popping, liquidy sounds in my ear. Last time she cultured it, and it was YEAST! I even considered taking her advice today and going Diflucan for 3 days, then decided against it because I hate medications. I plan to get right back with your program tomorrow, but I don't want this to happen everytime I get my period. HELP, please!!! Thanks sooooooooo much....Jill in FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
