Lol... I can't keep myself out of the chocolate or the salty stuff. It's awful. I'm pretty sure I could use up every single allotted daily calorie on chocolate.

:D

Anyone else out there? Ridiculous, huh? Thank the Goddess I work out.

    I used to be so bad that my doctor put me on prozac just for my periods to stop the binging :embarassed:

    Yep. I totally agree. Its weird because when I ovulate I cant seem to get full, but the few day before she comes , I CRAAAAAVE choclate so bad. So that leaves about two weeks out of the month where dieting is easy.

    I can be like that but not every month. Stress is a definite factor and also once you start you can't stop. Try to keep your blood sugars from spiking by eating regularly and eating wholegrains /veg/ protein ect (I'm sure you know the drill ;)) Sometimes though, only chocolate will suffice

    It never fails. I eat EVERYTHING during that time of the month. Sweets, chocolate, breads. I carb LOAD during that week. Cravings are unbearable!

    Not every month, but some months I do. I think it's hormonal.

    Yeah it happens. Usually the cravings last one day. One bad day a month isn't really something to stress out over in my world. Your body uses extra calories to replace lost tissue anyway. It's gotta come from somewhere. Might as well be something tasty.

    I do, but I try to balance it out. If I'm craving chocolate dipped pretzels I have them but the rest of the day I eat like I know better. I allow myself a little of what I want and try to minimize the damage. But the days of eating a bag of cheetos and mini reese's cups are over, thank goodness.

    About two weeks before, I always crave chocolate shakes and fries, that's ALL I can think about and I get extremely tired, like I am half dead. I didn't always know pms was the cause. I would be thinking, what is wrong with me, I think I need to go to the doctor and have my blood tested or something, but now I know.
