Eating before your periods

[lblondon 34]

I have always done what I now guess is hormonal eating more the week before my periods, generally only realising a day or so before that that was the reason why I was eating more, duh. It looks like its still going to be an issue, anyone else fall into this trap? Or is it head hunger that I just need to get a grip of?

Happens to me too. The good news, for me anyway, is that once my period starts my hunger goes lower than usual. So I do eat a little more before, but a little less during, so it evens out.

Same here I get real hungry before it starts but I go back to normal when it starts,...I been getting mines 2x a month ever since I had surgery is no fun at all

That stinks! Lets hope that wears off soon

It sure does and I hope so it isn't fun at all,..ohhh I get real moody which never happened before so I guess my hormone changed

So perhaps it is hormonal and I just need to be aware, will maybe start diarising

I get this too. I'll have to see if it continues post-op. I'm guessing it will. I'm not very regular, so it can catch me off guard.

When it does happen, I call it "the hungry horrors", because the cravings can be so over whelming and it's very frustrating.

But also like someone else mentioned, when the day comes I get my period, I totally lose my appetite. Weird.

I've been having mine 2x a month as well....bummer for surw. And hunger the day before and start then goes down. No weight issue w it so far.
