about
I'm a mother of 2 boys who are 13 months apart. Talk about a handful. I'm a wife to the best husband I could have ever dreamed of.I'm one of the very blessed.
I have Bipolar 1 Disorder. I hate taking all these medications and always going to doctors appointments, but life is too short to let mental illness get the better of me.
Often times life is a challenge, and nobody knows that better than me. I wake up wondering if this is going to be a day my illness overpowers my meds, and either sends me flying like a bat out of hell, or leaves me laying on the couch like a wet dish rag.
Thank all that is good in the world that I have an excellent support system at home.
I'm one of the lucky ones.
I'm honest, and that can either be a perk or s flaw. Depends on how you choose to look at it.
I like to see it as a perk, because it's better to hear the truth than to be told candy coated bullshit.

i've had my period for about 3 years now so i know that about a week before i get my period i have pms but mostly just cravings for food!!!
so lately i've been eating everything from ice cream to little mini eclairs. but like...a lot. i just crave it. CHOCOLATE
but lately i've been exercising a lot having soccer practice 4 times a week and sometimes even running a mile and a half after a slow practice.
i'm not quite sure if the craving is coming from my period or my practicing! can you help me here?
it'd be also soooo awesome if you could give me some great snacks that will settle my craving for chocolate but are also healthy enough that i can eat every day! not just chocolate..but sweets too.
thanks! i give beneficial feedback :)
Bypass the sugars in chocolate for the natural sugars in fresh fruits. Whether it's a PMS craving, or your exercised body craving the sweets, natural sugars are the best way to go.
If you feel you really can't pass up that chocolate craving, try some chocolate milk. Of course, that's not natural sugars, but at least you're getting a serving of calcium out of it.
