    The worse cravings for me are red meat. I never crave anything until TOM. This was especially hard when I was vegetarian.

    I hate it because I always crave chocolate or meat. Chocolate I just have one of those Milano 100 calorie pack cookies and make it my last snack, or I'll drink a glass of Silk's Chocolate flavored soymilk, if I'm craving meat I eat tuna, the problem with the last one is that my cat ends up wanting it too lol.

    I guess I do have cravings that I indulge during that time. I also bloat. I continue my usual workouts but I avoid the scale during that time because I have noticed that I can gain up to 7 pounds during that time. Thankfully, I go back to normal within a couple of days.

    No food or sweet cravings at all. Life goes on as normal aside from the cramps and bloating

    I have been craving coca cola and I must admit I have been indulging. However I do make it a point to drink 16oz. of water directly after. To help flush it out!! You're not alone =)

    No. I just quietly menstruate.

    While your guitar gently weeps?

    That's funny *kitten*!!

    I never noticed the cravings or the bloating when I was fat and on birth control. But now that I've lost a bunch and no longer taking hormones, I notice the cravings (for EVERYTHING) and the bloating. I gain 3-5 lbs and then it takes me a week afterward to get rid of it. I will finally see a great number on the scale and then it goes up due to TOM. Sometimes it sucks to be a woman!

    Just give me a family size bag of Lays and a padded room. I'll get over it.

    I don't tend to get cravings for anything but find I am abit more hungry so I try and have more stodgy meals during this time of the month. Usually things like jacket spuds, mash potatoes and pasta x

    Funny you should ask, TOM came to visit today, about every three weeks at my house. I am almost 50 and expect that menopause is knocking at my door. Anyway, I gave in to my guilty please of chocolate covered peanuts, and yes I ate the entire 6 oz. bag. OMG!

    I'm not hungry all the time but I wanna eat all the time b/c of PMS cravings. I'm dealing with one right now after my mom devoured a Tasty Kake Tasty Pie in front of me. So I sit and type lol.

    And I, too, gain up to 5lbs the week before the "visit"...
