Do any other girls get seriously hungry for everything but the kitchen sink right before or during that time of the month?
I do and I think I ate at least ten items tonight alone and right after I just feel like I'm starving again.
Thank goodness I'm going grocery shopping today!

I don't actually get my period anymore because of the shot I take for my PMDD, but omfg sometimes I still get PMS symptoms.
I will eat anything and everything that is either sweet or salty and I could just eat forever.
Back when I did get my period you may as well have just locked me in a room and tossed in a goat 'cause I'm pretty sure there was no limit to what I would eat.

The week before I'm due for mine, my diet literally consists of chocolate... So so much chocolate, I can't even keep track of how much I go through.

Before and during, I'm so goshdarn ravenous. NOTHING SATES MY HUNGER.

Chocolate, anything sweet, really.... and red meat. The last one makes sense, what with blood loss and the need to replenish iron and all. I'm normally borderline-anemic even prior to my "shark week", so that could also have something to do with it.

also, copious amounts of caffeine.

No, not really. I have severe menstrual cramps from hell, and when you have those the only thing you ever want to do during your period is rest and try to keep from crying from the pain. Not fun at all. I barely eat during my period, cause any type of internal pressure(Which includes the pressure of having food in your stomach.) will make my cramps worse.

Before my period I still don't crave anything. I eat a normal amount of food.

This month I have been so bad.
I've just constantly been eating EVERYTHING that comes across my face !

It's weird though. Sometimes I won't want to eat at all and other months I am like crazy for food.

I COULD go through all the chocolate we keep it the house. It takes a lot for me to not open up a bag of chocolate chips and go to town. It's horrible

Have you gone to a doctor?
Maybe he could prescribe something to make it not so bad.

It's weird. I don't have a huge craving for chocolate specifically before my period. But I can tell it's coming because I just EAT EVERYTHING. I'm always so so hungry. For junk food. All day, err' day.

It varies. I usually find myself eating -more- though, in terms of the amount of food I eat.

Like if I normally have a small bowl of pasta with some cheese or something for tea, at that time of month I'll have a monster bowl of pasta with cheese, tuna, sauce, everything. :'D It's not really food-specific for me. It's just what I normally eat but more of it.

Yes but my cravings vary from month to month. Sometimes all I want is chocolate and potato chips. One month I wanted lunch meat.

Chocolate. I will tear apart the house to find even a tiny morsel of chocolate. Oddly, I feel really energized and happy the day before... and then I realize WHY, and what's coming soon >.<.

I get cravings a few days before and during, never after.
I would crave any food that is warm. Burgurs, Fries, Bacon, Samosas, Pizza Pockets, etc.

We did about a year ago, they tried everything that wasn't birth control and none of it worked at all. Eventually we had to go to a gynecologist to see if taking birth control pills would help. They did help, and I was on them for about 4 months, but then my neurologist(Headache doctor) told me I couldn't be on it because one of the ingredients in the pill could cause me to get headaches/migraines again. I'm now on a depo provera shot, a birth control shot, because the shot usually thins the lining of the uterus to the point where you no longer get periods. I've been on it for about a year now, and it's worked wonders. I no longer get cramps/periods, and it's been really amazing not having to worry about the cramps. So, I guess I should say that when I was getting periods, I wasn't having any cravings.

The only thing I hate about having to be on a birth control shot is that whenever I say I am on birth control people always assume, for obvious reasons, that I am on it because I'm sexually active. I'm not sexually active and I don't plan to be for a long time, so I always have to give people the full story on why I'm on it.

Same.
It seems most people like sweets around their period but I just crave yummy salty food and fast food and microwavable things.

@

My friend takes birth control for the same reason and I know she gets really frustrated having to explain herself to the people she tells.
She goes to a Christian school so she definitely gets some looks when she mentions that she takes it.

I have cravings every single day. I am a food fan. The only thing that really happens is that I get a tiny bit sad. That's about it. Lol

Peace. Love. Avenged Sevenfold.

this time GAWD YES! T.T
i bought 66 bucks worth of food and have eaten ALL the snack foods up other than a few packs of caramel cookie bars...
Those snacks were supposed to last 2 weeks so far they've made it 4 days

Then I'm craving other foods like chinese or pizza it's sooo tempting to dial those numbers and have something delivered
But then nice cheeseburgers sound amazing too

Dammit now I want food again...

And some months it's like I can't get enough water. I feel like a horse those days cuz I can drink a full BIG (think the big slushy cups) glass of water and not even 5 minutes later feel like I need more.

I wouldn't even mention it if I were still going to my old Christian private school. They would shun me no matter how good of a excuse I have. I don't even dare tell my friends or any schoolmates, because I know that people tend to spread things like that around. The only people who know are a few of my family members.

@poseidon Oh yeah. I crave ice cream and greasy things right before my period. Just yesterday I took a day trip with my boyfriend to a county fair a few hours south. On the way we stopped at McDonalds and I had a vanilla triple thick shake at 9:30am. At the fair I had a fries drenched in ketchup. After the fair we went to a mexican restaurant in town and had tacos de carne asada and fried ice cream. After I got home I ate half a bag of chocolate and went to DQ for a reese's and butterfinger blizzard. I get hard core cravings.

I didn't actually know this happened.
But maybe that's what happened to me the other day when I was sort of PMSing way more than normal, but someone brought in these big fat cookies to work that had these huge chocolate chips and I was like "OMG THIS COOKIE, THIS COOKIE IS A GOD TO ME". I brought one home and ate it today and yeah it was good, but I wasn't going INSANE over it like I had been before. XD;;;

I've been craving chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream lately before my period hits. It's so good and fufills the chocolate, cookie dough and ice cream cravings all at once. I recommend it.
Oh, and also meat. Tons and tons of meat...

That is me. I literally want to eat everything, and sometimes, in huge quantities...
I think out of hunger (and dying from the heat), I consumed an entire pint of ice cream
and proceeded to eat other things after I ran out of that

And when that happens to me, I know I'm going to have my period very very soon

Yep. We have a McDonald's dangerously close to my apartment, so it's like "Hey, I could go for a cheeseburger ... and some cheese tops ... and another burger ... and nuggets .. and more food."
I'm very likely to go there a couple of days before I start or/and a couple of days into it as well, because I get so darn emotional and need food to stay on top e_e;
On normal weeks, I rarely eat there unless people bring me there.

I get my cramps the day before it starts, and as soon as they kick in I also crave anything chocolate. Mom's on a health kick so we don't keep any in the house and I usually don't have the money to go get some. Thankfully, I can make myself appear tons more miserable than I actually am, and she feels bad for me so she'll go get some chocolate ice cream or something. I then proceed to watch dumb movies and consume whatever she bought me until I've forgotten about the pain and then I'm good until it's over XD

i usually swing between pain and no pain month to month so
my cravings are usually dependant on that...butin general
during mine i`m usually less hungry most of the time. when I do
get cravings it`s usually for chocolate or salty foods.

Oh my gosh yes. I felt like such a fatty when my friend was over the other week because I kept suggesting we eat like every 10 minutes. Then I remembered dreaded aunt flow was on her way!! My hunger can never be satisfied the week before my period.
It really varies for me though. I seriously want EVERYTHING. Insatiable craving for salty red robin fries one minute. When I give in to that craving, the next minute I want ice cream drowning in hot fudge syrup.

I can't remember, I've been pregnant 5 months now, I just remember anything spicy or anything chocolate related. now i just crave anything that sounds good to me.

Some days on my period, I wouldn't touch food, I'd be in bed worn out, it used to take a toll on me.
