Is it just me, or does everyone else feel hungrier during that time of the month?

I normally have no problems staying within my calorie limits, however right now, I have eaten all my calories, and could really use a little snack right now! I would allow myself to have a light snack, but i am so bloated that I will just make myself feel grosser!

Please just tell me I am not the only one!

    I feel like that as well . To be truthful I have a piece 85% cocoa chocolate and cup of coffee and it helps, glass of red with my chocolate , I'm not one who eats chocolate , but at " lady time" it helps :drinker: and because of all the anti oxidants I don't feel guilty :smile:

    I've read that you burn more calories during your lady time...though I think it's only around 300 extra per day. But still - that's a nice little ice cream cone or something!

    No I don't get hungrier, just moody about 3 days prior.

    I get downright ravenous ... I just try to make sure my snacks are on the healthier side and don't stress too much about it. Better for everyone around if I'm not upping my level of *****y by adding hunger to it, too.

    This happens to me as well. Usually its the week leading up to it and i find myself wanting anything and every thing. The cravings come on hard. I have been able to resist for the most part but its not easy.

    If that is true that we burn more at that time then thats great...i know working out then also helps with the cramps. I hate the bloat and the extra weight and i always seem to have my weigh in at that time .

    I get hungry, depressed, unmotivated. I put on 2-5lbs 'just because' and all my social phobia and anxieties play up.
    I hate lady time.. lol

    I tend to have to make myself eat, but then I feel like I'm over eating because I don't exercise much at the beginning of it..

    (but I'm more inclined to under eat n binge in general than consistently over eating, and I just avoid ice cream around this time because that's a slippery slope... )

    I wouldn't worry about the weight during too much, I actually knew a day before I was going to start(this with exercise throwing off my schedule) this month because I literally gained an inch-1/2 inch all over bloating sucks I'm sure the scale would say the same thing!

    Hi, I sometimes find that when I try to be good by having fruit and other low cal, low fat items I then still have a bit of a binge. So maybe have a little of what you fancy / need, sooner rather than later, it may just save some of thoose used calories.

    I am ravenous just before and during TOM. I can eat a huge meal and even though I make sure it is healthy food and I can feel that my stomach is full, I will still want more and think I am hungry. I have no clue why our hormones do it to us considering TOM is the only time we can't get pregnant so swelling up is I guess the body's way of saying, "closed for business"
