Every month just a few days before Aunt Flo visits, I want to eat everything in sight. Of course for a week afterwards, I dont want to eat anything. But I am a week late and its frustrating the hell out of me! I'm on the want to eat everything and its getting really hard!
My husband was snipped last summer so I'm not pregnant. I do think it could be my high level of stress and/or high intensity workouts. I am feeling down and just want to stop thinking about food!

    I know how you feel - I get ravenous right before my period. I haven't figured out any secrets to this, just hoping it feels better to know you are not alone.

    Going through this right now. I didn't even realize it. I sent my hubby a text this morning saying I want to eat everything I see so I'm hiding my lunch until lunch time. He texts back "So it's that time of the month again is it?" I guess he's seen the pattern.
