that you don't eat as much during your period? Or am I just weird? I noticed this before joining MFP, I would get full faster or just not eat. Is that common (don't throw ninja stars at me if this has been mentioned already)?

    I crave more when on my period! I go searching for anything sweet,so I think I eat a lot more when that time of the month comes around.

    I also tend to be hungrier and want to eat more. I think it's awesome though that you have the opposite effect. :)

    For me it's always different! Sometimes I eat everything in sight and others I don't even want to see food!

    I don't get the craving, and I do actually eat less a week before hand or during said week.
    I guess I'm just lucky. :P

    Yeap, nothing sounds good at all! I also have to go to the bathroom a lot which is very annoying. I guess we are lucky . . . with the not having cravings part.

    Day before is my worst! I could be at a buffet and not get the right food. And it is that way for about 3 or 4 days. I wouldn't eat as much if I could just figure out what I really want. I will get what I think I want, then I will realize that wasn't it....I think all it really craves is more water!!!!!!!

    ME. TOO. I try not to use that as an excuse, though. Because if I did, it would be muffins, cookies, brownies, bread, and chocolate cake ALL DAY LONGGG for aboutttt a week.

    Oh I WISH. Instead, when my uterus is unhappy it demands that I eat absolutely everything in my kitchen. My boyfriend calls me " The Garbage Disposal" when its that time of the month. ( In a loving way, of course. ;p )

    I get really, really hungry for three or four days before but when it comes, I don't really feel like eating. Except I do get cravings for a big, juicy steak - no mysteries there! I usually allow myself to eat maybe 200 more calories a day when I'm in the hungry phase, just keep it healthy, wholesome foods.
