I'm glad you lifestyle is unencumbered enough to allow you to make that commitment to your body. However, I have more going on in my life than just losing weight right now, so I can't drop everything to head down to the gym. It's not feasible. If it was, I'd be there already. I'm still paying my £25 (that's $50 to you) monthly membership fee in the hopes that I get the time to go back. It just hasn't happened yet.

I preach and preach that dieting is not the answer.

Yes, you do! I didn't join this site to be preached at. If I wanted to be preached at I'd go to church on Sundays, but I don't. Advice and support are one thing, preaching is quite another.

I've helped countless people here, including women lose weight and learn how to keep it off. I would love to work with you to help you find a solution to your food cravings and inability to exercise. I'm pretty sure most of them have to deal with PMS too.

Like I said before, you need to back off. You don't have all the answers, regardless of how many people you've helped. You don't know me or my story, so you might want to bide your time until you know who you're talking to and what you're talking about before you start ladling out the advice. If you want to work with me you have to find out who I am. One size does not fit all. This applies to advice as well as clothing. While I know I'm not the only woman in the world to experience PMS, all PMS symptoms aren't the same. Some women are lucky enough to only suffer blind rages(!) I have a whole gamut of symptoms; craving food is only one of them.

If you truly want to help then you might try listening to what people are saying (or reading what they are typing, in this case). Take a telling and back off. Let someone else have a turn, OK?
