Bitch About It, Joke About It, But Never Be Too Serious Group

Wow, that's like PMS cubed. That's some dangerous stuff. Definitely do whatever you gotta do- eat ice cream in large quantities. Or better yet, forget the wooden spoon and just inject it. Then you don't even have to wash a spoon.

On a positive note, I think when it's "our time" our bodies burn a lot more calories. So maybe your using like TRIPLE the calories? When I'm PMSing I wake up thinking about cookies and spend all day hunting and devouring crappy food. Then I freak out because I'm convinced that I will be out of control FOREVER. Even after my worst, craziest PMS binge when I assess the damage after the fog has cleared it usually isn't that bad.

So get out there and squeeze those lemons. Maybe you'll even find someone with paper cuts. Ouch.

Heres a hug for you and I have a couple people in mind that if youd like to squeeze lemon juice in their eyes I wouldnt think it was that bad :)

Eat some ice cream for me too!

LMAO @ squeezing lemon in people's eyes. You are too funny. I hope you can say a few "goosfrabas" (from the movie anger management..how appropriate) and rethink eating all that stuff.. okay.. maybe SOME ice cream. lol. sending good non-pms vibes your way darlin.

when life gives you lemons, find someone whos life gave them vodka & make martinis!

Whoa. I would definitely think about switching bc pills. For one, if you get pregnant it'd sure be awful not to find out until you're 3 months in!

And this full blown PMS is scary. Kudos for you realizing it though. When I had my pms (now that I'm taking Yaz I don't really) I was just...crazy and blissfully unaware. :P

SAVE THE LEMONS!!!!! and make a margarita!!!!!! Add some limes for shits and giggles, get it all out of your system today, and start fresh tomorrow! You will be fine! Feel better! Kiss Kiss!

Three whole months of PMS bottled up and spewed out at once - man, poor you. Thank goodness you realize it though! Sometimes just knowing what is going on and that it will pass is enough to keep me from going postal.

Wasn't there a PMS murder defense a few years back???

I'm with Kari. Squeezing lemon juice in someone's eyes would be a waste of perfectly good lemon juice! Instead, stir in a couple of shots of absolute vodka and you probably won't even remember why you were so off in the first place!

Hey - have you ever seen that old "Everybody Loves Raymond" PMS episode? Hysterical!!!

by catfightshiner on May 7, 2008 at 9:13 pm

your tres leche cake comment made me laugh out loud...love that stuff! i'm pmsing as well...ugh.

by tamiclay on May 7, 2008 at 10:23 pm

yeah tres leche from El Torito - UMMMM!
I would do Haggen Daas Mango sorbet or some frozen cool whip - I don't feel as guilty with those!

when life gives you lemons, take them and run away; cause hey, FREE LEMONS!

Ahem - resident nerd speaking up:

When you're PMSing you actually *do* use more calories due to hormonal changes upping your metabolism. However, in most women it's in the order of about 150 cal/day.

As to the lemons, I say ask for the tequila and some salt and we're in business.

Have you seen the SNL skit about those kind of birth control pills? Too funny!! Check it out.... you may not feel better, but you'll probably be able to relate.

Poor baby girl. I totally dig where you're coming from...my PMS is BAD! And I DO love the Raymond episode where Deb has PMS...she's screaming at him and saying, "Have you ever thought of giving me a hug?" And he says, "It's hard to hug...THIS!" LOL and the SNL skit with the BC pills is hysterical. Hold on to your hat! HA!!! So um, yea i have no advice. Eat the ice cream, take the vodka and make a martini milkshake, and start over tomorrow! :)

Thanks for the link & the huge laugh, briezer2. Hysterical! I needed a good laugh today due to my own PMS issues. :-)
