So, about mid last week, I started to crave food A LOT. Which sucks when you are trying to diet. AND I wanted chocolate like crazy! ALSO not good for a diet!!! That aside, it worried me because those are warning signs before a period. I've read that women crave chocolate before their periods because it contains magnesium and iron. Magnesium can help curb PMS and since we bleed, we lose iron. Hence why we crave chocolate!
Needless to say, I'm not too happy about this! I even had those familiar cramps I get when I first start my period. But, nothing yet. Not even a hint of spotting. Let's hope it stays that way!!!!
Now, I want nothing but regular food that is good for you and not sugar and salt! (I crave salt too.... which I read is also common).
Anyway, just wanted to post that update.

It's Been Awhile
It's been over a month since I posted last! Oops! Life just gets crazy, I get lazy... you know how it goes.
Well, everything is going well! My latest OBGYN visit went well and I no longer have to go back every 6 months! YAY! When I got my abnormal pap back in January of 09, I've been going 2 times a year. BUT not anymore! Very exciting stuff.
I've also lost 10 lbs! I'm going to be in a wedding in March, so I've been dieting and exercising regularly and it's paying off.
However, I was having a problem with acne. It seems that I can no longer wear my make-up ALL day, as it irritates my skin and causes breakouts. I had this problem when I was in high school too, so I'm used to it. Now I just use face wash every night and the acne problem is solved.
I still waiver back and forth about my hair, but I'm 85% sure it's paranoia.
I will say... I do spot randomly. I'm thinking it's roughly every two weeks and it lasts a day. It starts with two or three spots, then by the end of the day there is like a thin line in my underwear (sorry if that is graphic, but I'm just telling you how it is!). Then, the next day, it's gone and the dark spots/line washes out (if I haven't thrown a pad on before it starts, of course). No big deal. Maybe it will get worse, maybe it won't. I'm just taking it day by day.
As far as going in for the check-up, the doctor who did the procedure isn't working at that clinic anymore. I feel that since I saw my OBGYN and she knows about it, then I'm fine. But, if I start to get side effects, I'm tracking that doctor down!!!!
