Every month, like clockwork, I start feeling ravenous the week before I get my period. It must be the hormones, right?

I know exactly what you're talking about. There is nothing I won't eat the week before I get mine but to make things worse, I crave sweet and salty foods above anything else. I tried buying those 100 calorie bags of chocolate covered pretzels to try and curb the hunger but I just end up eating the entire box!!!!

I eat everything that I can get my swollen hands on, lol. But once my period starts, the feeling vanishes.

I will eat anything that isn't nailed down right before my period starts. Thankfully, once it starts my appetite almost disappears completely so it kind of balances out. It's a horrible rollercoaster ride every month though
