I usually get a craving for chocolate or ice cream.0
-
Yes it gets really bad sometimes the week before during im not so bad0
-
Heck to the YES! I am normally a healthy eater, but not so much right before.0
-
YES! For me though it is usually right when or after I ovulate so a couple of weeks before my period starts. It lasts about 3-4 days. That is also when I bloat up! Then a couple of days before my period, which is strange, I deflate, drop a couple of pounds in water/food and crave nothing.
Crazy thing is before kids, I never was like this! Or at least it was so minor I didn’t notice!0 -
Oh yes. Some months aren't as bad as others but this past month was horrible. I wanted to consume every ounce of chocolate and sugar in my pantry, plus ice cream. Oh and salty things too. It's terrible.0
-
nope. my period never affected me.
birth control for the win!0 -
It is the only time I really CRAVE sugary type stuff. I will find myself searching the cupboards looking for something sugary. Which is the reason why I don't have sweet type stuff in my house.0
-
Yes! lots of carbs and sugars and the combination of the two!0
-
Chocolate.
But I read that chocolate contains magnesium and you lose this when you're on so that's why you crave it.
So don't punish yourself when you reach for the choccie bars, it's your body trying to help itself return to normal!

The day befor I'd kill someone for a warm brownie. Or Doritos. The rest of the month I'm fine.0

I usually need a donut or two. Maybe a Milky Way icecream bar. I want more, but I have really long periods (day 23 and counting) so I can't give in too much. I usually give in a little though.

Being on my period kicks my willpower down to nothing. It's easy to rationalize dunking my head in a tub of ice cream when I'm in miserable pain. I mean, if I can't have vicodin, I deserve something to numb the crampy agony, right?0
-
Sometimes. I usually just want to eat EVERYTHING. Really don't get cravings haha0
-
The week before is the worst for me. I have to bump up my running so I can keep on track and not eat everything in site.0

I have mine this week, all I've been wanting is brownies and cookies! it's horrible! I just started getting on track and then flo has to come and ruin everything lol. I'm still trying to satisfy the cravings, but not as much as I used to. Dammit, not I want cookies0
-
Yes. I struggle the week of it due and it always seems to be something salty or crunchy. I try to do a little exercise to help,but it doesn't seem to help.0
-
Oh yes, allI want is carbs, the urge starts about 7 days before I start, & usually lasts about 3-4 days.0

First, to the girl who has a 28-day period? Get some help! Go to a doctor! When I started as a 19-year-old, mine was two weeks and I was forced to get on birth control to keep it regular. I was already anemic, and that did NOT help.
That being said.. I am on birth control and I STILL get cravings. Salty. Sweet. Chocolately. Ice cream. What gym? I don't want to go to the gym! I want to eat. Eat eat eat.
Also, this has increased since I've started working out. Before I didn't notice it as much, because I didn't care what I ate. Now that I'm watching what I eat and I know I can't have just everything that I want, it's sooo painful not to just give in.0 -
Sometimes, but when that happens, I go for fruits and it dark chocolate. Birth control helps me with everything that sucks about periods. Lol0

I'm with you, give me doritos and brownies, but if you touch them, I'll chop off your fingers!! My family knows when it's that time because I bring home loads of jump food! lol0 -
I totally crave chocolate and usually for one or two days!0
-
sweets0

Just wondering if im the only one0 -
Yes - I usually want chocolate, chips, or a hamburger
But - I don't use TOM as an excuse to eat like crap. I work out and earn that chocolate.0 -
YES!!! and my hubby thinks I am NUTS!! I keep the Betty Crocker Warm Delights microwave cakes and brownies on hand!!!0
-
Chocolate! Really my appetite increases during that time. Hormones I guess.0
-
Yes! I always crave sherbert on mine! My sister says that the first day of your period when you are really hungry just to suffer through then for the rest of the week you wont be craving and wanting stuff all of the time. It does work...if you can make it through the first day! Whenever I want sweets really bad I try to drink a bunch of water then eat fruit. It doesnt always work, but it helps0
