Thanks to everyone for telling your “secrets”. Yo Fat Mama would like me to confirm that she was not talking about herself. She was the friend that MADE the pound cake. I remember her pound cake phase. She wouldn’t quit until she had the recipe perfected. I miss those days.

Whenever I suffer from PMS I usually don’t know until after it’s over. Then I realize why I’ve been so *itchy. I also used to eat like a piglet at these times…secretly.

Hey it’s like they say, “when we know better, we do better.”

I do the same thing. You’d think after 20 years or so we would figure out what was wrong every month.

I was commuting for school last summer and I would eat on campus and then come home (about an hour and a half figuring buses and trains) and then tell my mother I hadn’t eaten. And of course, by then it was fairly late and the only places open were fast food joints. I’m really not proud of that fact, but it’s (mostly) in the past now.

Over a year ago, when I was insane, any sort of slip up sent me in to a fit of depression and giving up – and therefore an excuse to eat anything and everything. I’m am much less insane now, and can handle food situations much better. I channel my insane behavior in to my blog! (Stay tune for a totally silly photo of me in my NEW HAT soon!)

I used to buy doughnuts (aka spudnuts) for the office but I’d buy myself a couple to put in my bag. I’d go down and deliver them and everyone would think that I had been so good and not had any…but I had my bag.

Spudnuts, it’s not just for PMS anymore. (Spudnuts are doughnuts made with potato flour. Sinfully light but greasy and sweet.)

I also love salsa, chips, and cheese and it doesn’t have to be PMS time either.

My only question is how did you eat the powdered doughnuts without giving yourself away? Those things are notoriously sloppy with the powdered sugar….

Years of practice and an oblivious husband. I also have to pass by the laundry area on my way into the house so sometimes I would change clothes.

It sounds like you’re mastering a lesson that I’m trying so hard to learn: You had one serving, you weren’t hungry, so you stopped. I’m trying to teach my body and brain to get on the same page with that…

And one of your PMS-must-have-it trinity pieces is also in mine: French fries, plain white bread and Snickers with almonds.

I used to get one of those dadgum Snickers every time I ran into Target. I’d eat it on my way home and stash the wrapper in the garage. HA!!!

Here’s to a great weekend with nothing to confess come Monday…

I know you have heard this before,,but it really happened. I had this friend (really) who could bake the best pound cakes in the world!!!!!!!Her husband was always nagging her about eating sweets. She baked a cake one day while he was at work. Needless to say she kept eating “little” slices of the cake through out the day untill she realized it was half gone. She knew she would be caught if HE saw that she had eaten half of a lb cake. WHAT TO DO? Easy,,she just ate the other half!!!!!!Works everytime>
