Do you have the [b]urge[/b] to eat more chocolate when you are due your period??

I crave Ben and Jerry's Ice cream. Cherry Garcia! Yummy!

I love chocolate in general. When i use to have a period I love it even more. It was like I couldn't get enough. I don't have a period now, and I have cut back on a lot of chocolate intake.

Yes, just before and during my period, I get extreme food cravings. The usual culprit is sweets, so chocolates and sodas became my weakness. Sometimes its something salty, like chips and french fries. Sometimes, its a combination of both, thus causing me to eat ice cream with chips or any other weird mixture, that has both sweet and salty. I think that is what inspired Chex Mix their sweet and salty flavor. I say that I tend to overeat and eat badly during my period. Boy, doesn't it make you want not to be female with all this feminine issues...(j/k)

Not before, but the first couple of days of my period. I'm not usually that big on chocolate, but in those days I turn into an OmNomNom monster and eat my body weight in chocolate!

When I got mine I would drive ten miles for a snickers! I don't have them anymore...but it seems that you still have some sort of cycle I think....about one week out of the month I could eat anything!

Well, I do not have a monthly anymore now, lucky old me ah!! I best explain briefly, I had to have a hysterectomy last year so that is why!! But I used to know when I was due on because a week before I would eat like a pig, I would just be hungry all the time. But even though I had the hysterectomy they left my ovaries in and so sometimes I do get the snack attack around the week before I would have been due and I still get the moods, but not all the time and not as bad as they used to be!!

Although I do consider myself a pig - I love to eat - I do tend to "want" more to eat the week before. It's "natural" but still very frustrating!

well i would say any time is a good time to eat chocolate.but when i use to get my periods i would always eat heaps of chocolate prior to getting my periods,nowadays i just call it comfort food for any occassion.cheers sue

Hi cinderella, It's the same with me. I'd be eating chocolate and sometimes I'd feeling hungry almost all the time when it is close to my periods. I'm so daft sometimes that I don't realize that "this" is what is going on with me, probably because it doesn't happen every time. But gosh can I eat chocolate during that time. Bu so what, it's good!

ARE YOU KIDDING!!!I would be such a Bi*ch without my chocolate while I am in the mood as I call it..lol

I crave chocolate and carbs like bread and pasta. I rarely eat chocolate but save it for that time of the month!

I love chocolates and at times, I really didn't notice it but there are really times that I really love eating sweet foods likes chocolates... I think that happens when I am not really in the mood or stressed out.
