    ummmm....you were kidding when you asked "anyone else"................right?

    I think its safe to say that just about EVERYONE else craves chocolate (or salt...or chocolate AND salt together) :bigsmile:

    It's weird. I typically hate chocolate bars and never eat them, but sometimes a few days away from my period I'm struck with this craving and will eat all of one for no good reason. I still don't even enjoy the taste, my body just feels like it needs it.

    Sometimes, but not always. This month though... oh man, I craved chocolate bad! Luckily the craving came and went fairly quickly. Well, before any damage was done! :laugh:

    I agree, I crave it everyday! But only during one day of TOM do I give in to those cravings and over indulge.

    My "status" the other day, "PMS, hello.. have some chocolate and please don't kill your loved ones."

    A chocolate craving can sometimes be a symptom of a magnesium deficiency!

    Lavish makes a chocolate oatmeal which is good for you and yummy, too!

    I have PCOS and I don't get TOM right now... but when I do/did, I want a Mr Goodbar and my bed with some pain relievers.
