I found a positive about TOTM!

In my quest to find a silver lining to everything i a have finally found a positive about PMS and my TOTM!  Well i feel so bloated and just fat that i  really watch what i eat more so than the other two weeks of the month!  I have been really been trying to watch my salt intake too.  I heard that foods high in sodium eaten before your time can affect the intensity of cramps????  Any way thought i would share my little epiphany with ya:)
