Take a deep breath and Relax! you will feel better soon, and I'm sure you'll drop these few pounds in the way. You know it's temporary, the gain is not "for real". I wish you a good trip! 

Maybe try some Dexatrim??? 

Dexitrim? Are you serious? The "diet" pill dexatrim. No thanks! I am not dumb! I eat healthy and exercise and lose weight I dont buy into gimics. I am on my period again so 5lbs is what I gain every month when I have it then it goes down. I have lost 95lbs and it wasnt by taking pills that can kill me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Ok my comment may have been a bit harsh, can you tell I am on my period, what a major b**** I am! 

The timing isn't good is it? What the heck is going on with your cycle? Sounds like it may be a tad confused? I'd like to second jessy's suggestion ... take and deep breath and relax!! This too shall pass ... I know it is frustrating and you feel like crap but tomorrow may be a different story!! 

Its just overwhelming. I am working 24hrs a day 7 days a week. I get no break from my kids. People keep asking me if I am excited for Alaska and honestly I am not. I had to do all the shopping for the kids for the 9 days I am gone, plan the meals for them and make sure they are all taken care of. I still have to pack myself. I have to make sure my husband knows everything that the kids are doing on those days and make sure he takes them there. To top all that off I am not sleeping well and still taking care of a baby and nursing and taking care of 4 kids all the time and going to swim lessons and playdates and cleaning and cooking and now to have my period 2x this month and it being 3 days until I leave on a trip where I firmly believe I am going to die on the plane. UGH! GRR! I wish I could just go to bed and wake up in Alaska or after Alaska. I dunno. 

aww yog... take it easy. no wonder your body is freaking out w/ all this work! then its freaking your pretty lil head out. its all the stress and nerves going on. remind yourself why this trip is so important, if its not... can you cancel it? its a mission righ? maybe god is asking you to give your problems to him, its what we are suppose to do right... they will work themselves out. enjoy your day, minute by minute, take one step at a time. AND don't even stress about a gain, its NOT REAL! is it heavy or light btw (tom)???  

I'm sorry that you're feeling so upset. I know how you feel. My TOM comes every 23 or 24 days... and lasts 7 or 8 days long. I always either gain weight around that time, or do not lose at all. It can be very frustrating. And yes, I can be real fun to be around too. Just ask my husband. ("nag, nag, nag...complain, complain, complain")  

I am hoping today is a better day for you!!
