One for the ladies - period pain

[Guest guest]

Alright folks, I have a question. I'm learning to re-train myself to think of

" treats " as other things - so if I " deserve a treat " I take myself for a walk,

do some gardening, or play my guitar.

However, today I had a doc's appointment and discovered that my IUS had fallen

out (eek!) and they had to remove it entirely and fit me with a new one. Now I'm

stuck with the period pain that goes with it and my normal " treats " don't help

if all I want to do is curl up on the couch, eat doritos and squirm from the

pain.

I'm ashamed to admit that that's exactly what I did today. D'oh!

Does anyone have any techniques for replacing the normal junk food " treats " with

something else when you're feeling under the weather?
