    I don't get cravings, but I lose the willpower to cook, so I end up eating out as I feel so rubbish, and the kids have to eat, so we end up at mcdonalds. Unfortunately I have a really short cycle (22 days garhhh!) So my food diary often looks pretty junky!

    I crave easy takeaway and picky food (or naughties) as I call them! Think it's cos I don't sleep properly when I'm on and I get so tired and when I've finished work and got my two to sleep I really can't be bothered cooking again!

    I'm the same but for some reason I will cook healthy food for the kids (most of the time) but won't fancy it myself so end up ordering in once they're in bed so eating late aswell x

    Yep and it's carbs, carbs, and more carbs.

    Mellisa, I crave tons of carbohydrates the few days before TOM. I mean, I want some, and I want it all! ie, a whole bag of chips, a whole package of cookies. Usually, a few are satisfactory! Hehehe! :):smile:

    ^^^^ THIS!! Walmart and their damned deliciously fatty pepperoni cheese bread from the bakery. That crap is my downfall during TOTM.

    I love chocolate. I won't give it up at all, and try to buy the healthier stuff from Trader Joes. I get the 50 g bars (they're the miniatures of the 1 lb bars) and try to only eat half of one a day. If I eat more than half, it's not a bit deal as it's only 50 g.

    I just want to sit in a hot bath and have my husband fetch me beers when it's that time of the month.

    Beer calories don't count, right? :wink: :drinker:

    Oh, yeah! Couple of days before and I'm wondering why I'm fanging for chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, bread and more chocolate ... then it clicks ...
    Fortunately, I'm doing Atkins, so I can resist - but it is definitely harder.
    And yep, usually spend a day in tears too :sad: ... crying at tv ads?!
    Ah, the joys of womanhood ... but there are compensations ... shoes, for example ... :love:

    I am on a low carb diet, and I love cheese. TOTM, I crave cheese, mac and cheese or pizza.
    I don't crave sweets though. Just something cheesy and ultra fattening. Usually I will make my mac and cheese and stick to the serving size.......but it's hard.

    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

    I do this and in grazing mode today... then it's almost like going into hibernation. Give me a hot shower, heating pad, a good book, and a quiet area to myself (and yes, I turn into a bear more times than not)...the calories/weight averages out in the end, so I don't stress it too much.
