    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. ;)

    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..

    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.

    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.
