Food is a response to hunger.  It isn't a reward or punishment.   When you are hungry, eat because it is the relevant response.  When you are not hungry, don't eat because that doesn't make sense.  When you learn to reconnect hunger and eating and take the reward/punishment mentality out of it, you are on your way...

Yes, PMS used to mess up my eating too.  Just learn what helps you- take care of yourself.  Rigid dieting only makes it worse.  A healthy thin mentality will get you through.  (When you crave some chocolate eat it, with pleasure, not guilt.
