female only Eatin more before your period

[Kelly1334 52]

Anyone notice they're eating more throughout the day before/during their period? I feel like in eating too much but I know it's just because I eat so little now. I don't want to sound neurotic but I'm due for my period next week and I already see the bloating/cravings starting.

Anyone else have this increased appetite? It's a whole new experience trying to combat this with being sleeved.

Oh yeah I still feel the same urges around my period! I get fixated on wanting chocolate,

And chocolate does not bother my stomach at all unlike some sleevers

It's a matter of having control still, which is easier said than done some days!

Same here. Craving carbs. I have to stay more mindful and present during that time.

I can totally relate! I have the cravings SO BAD! I really need to come up with something I can do to help during this time. Anyone have any good tips?

[Globetrotter 1,340]

My tip? Eat the d*mn chocolate - life is short, and it's medicinal!

Yea I have emerald cravings nothing in particular. I haven't given into sweets in months but I def need to get another hobby not with food haha maybe shopping lol

I eat some chocolate. I also give myself permission to be a little cranky and a to be imperfect with my food choices. Two days or so a month of having a chic fil a mini icecream Sunday won't kill me. Or you can try preemptively dealing with it by exercising more as that also helps curb the carb monster

[Globetrotter 1,340]

Well the exercising helps more with the cramps and crankiness and bloated feeling and any other superfluous emotions surging over me, wiping them away with a delicious workout-induced euphoria helps a LOT! Follow that up with some nice dark chocolate and I just might not hate you for a slight provocation.

I hear you! There are days that I just want to stuff my face, and then I look at the calendar and go "Ah, that's why!". I also have huge weight fluctuations during both Ovulation and right before my period. It drives me nuts, but I know it is just bloating. I will have a treat here and there, but I do not keep it in the house. I know if it is in the house, especially around TOM, I will not be able to resist. Damn those darn hormones!

This is the first month I've felt SO incredibly hungry a few days before and during my period. It does help to exercise, but Fiber One 90 calorie chocolate chip Cookies help too.

Yep, I've noticed that the week before, is the week when I need snacks!

I take one Tylenol. It helps me.

Advil and Ibuprofen help my cramps, but I don't really get them anymore. Also, I crave carbs like nobody's business before and two days into my period. I have to make myself drink lots of Water (with crystal light) to stay "full" so I won't be as tempted to fill up on too much stuff.
