    I usually only want things that are light, like fresh veggies, no dressing. I try to get lots of protein, and I occasionally crave salt, and I love pickles. I tend to get nausea and backaches, some hot herbal tea usually helps with that.

    Everything. Mostly potato chips, though.

    Since I feel like death for 2 days, I don't even care. I figure that if I'm good enough the rest of the month and if I can at least walk for 15 minutes around the block I don't even worry about giving into cravings. Besides hubby will bring me anything to avoid the monster I become! :laugh:

    Im bad...i like to pig out!!!!!

    But....

    I have found a way to curb it. When i want something sweet i will cut up a banana and eat it with whipped cream...much better than ice cream i guess lol

    Depends. Sometimes I crave salty stuff, other times its sweets and usually Ben and Jerrys. I will splurge once in awhile. If I go over on my calories one or 2 days a month, its not the end of the world for me. I will still workout though. Thank goodness for the treadmill being in my house :laugh:

    The only thing a period should stop is a sentence.

    I'm a walking cliche when it comes to Shark Week here. It's all about the chocolate.

    I feel like this is an insult yet I'm not insulted.

    Apple with almond butter and dark choc chips, or apple with honey and shredded coconut.

    Pretty much anything microwavable that I can bring back to the couch ha. The first three days of mine are always very dramatic, always have been.
