menstural binges

Is there anything that can help limit or prevent binge eating before and during a woman's menstrual cycle?
This isn't strictly an emotional eating issue is it?  

My oncologist said to stay clear of hormonal therapies.

I'm rather ignorant about all this woman stuff but I think it may be affecting weight loss and ultimately my ability to live a healthy life.  It is only one aspect out of many though.  Although it feels like it could be quite a significant one.

No significant treatment that I'm aware of.. but I think it's important that you can time your cycle to some of your tendencies toward binge eating!  Being mindful is the first step.

Bummer!  I so hoped you would have a nice, easy solution to this issue.  Darn hormones!  They have a lot to be accountable too.
I think hormones are partly responsible for some of my mood issues too.  It seems like I need to come up with some very robust strategies to overcome or manage this problem.

Yes, M for medical and not magical!

Thanks again!!
