    Default eatting everything in sight before your period

    I have a problem and I don't know if it's "normal" or common. A day or two before my period I get a HUGE appetite. I eat a lot of sweets and starches. I always lose it but I feel like a hog just the same. Anyone else experience this?

    i call it 'the feeding frenzy'.

    the body has a lot of work to do so i guess it's just stocking up. i crave anything that looks like it might be made of carbohydrate.

    I've heard it's common (especially the craving for sweets), but it never really happens to me. Instead I get horrific cramps and can barely eat at all. Lucky me.

    Right before I get my period, I eat EVERYTHING in sight: sweets (fruits, candy, chocolate, ice cream), starches, veggies....you name it, I'll eat it. NOTHING can stop me, it's like I go on a food rampage. There's no amount of will power in all of the world that can help me during that time. Sometimes it lasts a day, sometimes it lasts three days. It's a curse.

    I just went through this!LOL! And believe me, I felt like a HUGE PIGGY after! In one evening I scarfed down a batch of peanut butter cookies...3 huge warm sticky cinnimon buns, a plate of cheese & crackers and ordered a large pizza later on!!!! Needless to say I put in some extra time at the gym!

    This describes the week before my periods to a T! I eat and hibernate, and that's it!

    OMG, so I'm not alone! I can kill a bag of tortilla chips easy! And THEN kill someone for something sweet! Hubby calls it my Fluffasoraus time. Hehehe. GRRRRRRRRR!

    And even though I know a day or two of this crap wont show too badly...I still feel huge and gross, but I think that has to be the hormones and bloating and stuff, right? please say that's right. lol

    i refuse to allocate any guilt to my feeding frenzy. i'm already covered in 2kg of fluid by that point... so meh and meh to the guilts.

    it all goes by day 7.

    the way i figure it, i'm about to bleed for 5 damn days, i deserve it!

    I get it too. What's weird though is that for the week AFTER my period, I barely want to eat at all. So it balances out.

    I feel minimal guilt about it while it's going on, but afterwards.....I try to workout a little extra.

    In fact, I just went though it this weekend, and an entire pint of low-fat Haagen Daaz was just one of my victims. It may be low-fat PER SERVING but that doesn't really count when you eat four servings! (i.e. the whole thing!) And then who knows what else - I couldn't even list everything I ate this weekend.

    that being said, it's time for a second jog on the treadmill!
