      It got better my second month in but the cravings.. yeah... ouch.
      However, I read that our metabolism speeds up to take care of this, so I tend to give in to it a bit :)

      The few days before and then during. It is like for 7 days of the month I am ruled by my stomach! It's brutal!
      I guess it wouldn't be SO bad if I wanted broccoli or kale, nope deep fry and chocolate.

      i find i don't want to eat during. I graze constantly for a couple days before but once the cramps kick in i just want to take painkillers and lay absolutely still for three days - and definitely not put anything else in my stomach lol

      Yup. We call it "locust mode" in our household. What's funny is that my partner and I crave different things. She craves crunchy, carby things. I crave salty, or better yet salty and sweet, things. It's insane.

      Hehe I read that as "deep fried chocolate"... which sounds about right for the cravings. ;)

      Ugh yes. I crave salty stuff and chips and salsa etc. I gorge often times. :sad:

    • Posts: 55 Member
      Yes! Chips and crisps! Well, more than i normally do! I put on a few pounds à few days before too, but it all goes by the second day.

      I crave carbs. Chips and chocolate lol. Anything sweet will do actually but I try to control it.

      It's quite normal to eat more right before and during your period. So is gaining water weight, having cramps, cursing at your ovaries etc..
    • Posts: 277 Member
      Yeah.

      I combat it by making good food readily accessible and bad food not so easy to get. I always indulge a little bit. When I try to deprive during my TOM, the beast takes over.. and nobody wants to see that

      I try not to beat myself up about it too much if I go over cals during my TOM, though. I just try not to go crazy and make up for it as soon as my mood swings are back in check.

      YES.
      cravings are crazy during my TOM
      like most of y'all, it'S generally chocolate and carbs that I crave. ugh.
      oh and sometimes bananas!

      I swear some days I feel like I could eat rocks. Not seriously but I really want to eat EVERYTHING in sight during TOM. It is terrible. Fortunately I usually end up losing 2 pounds the week after.
