I’ve been on food protocol since January. I’ve been able to cut all the sugar (but still challenging with flour).  I’ve been also able to stay on protocol (Monday – Friday) and am intermittent fasting. First my goal was to lose 5 pounds. I reached the goal and being on protocol became my new routine. But here is what I’ve been noticing recently :

– On weekends (and when I am with my family), I have a lot of emotional eating. The thought I’ve noticed is : “It’s not fair that I am the only one doing all this work”.
– The week before my period, it is more challenging to stay on protocol and I have so many cravings . And I am using willpower to resist it. And I feel frustrated.

I enjoy being on protocol, intermittent fasting, no sugar most of the time.  How could I change my thoughts about the week-ends?  And “hormonal” cravings ? (maybe this is a belief I have ?)
