Do you eat like crap?
I try to eat fairly well the rest of the month but when I am about to start my period I just don't care - I eat ice cream, candy, whatever.
Today I bought a choc muffin for breakfast instead of my usual protein shake - it was delicious!

I tend to eat like crap 50% of the time anyway, but it definitely gets worse around shark week.

CD1 is my free pass day. I am allowed to skip the gym and eat whatever the heck I want.

I usually have ridiculous nausea when it starts, so the first two days I eat much less than normal because I don't want to puke. Ugh.

Always. I don't even think about it. I eat whatever I want during my period. It's a terrible situation when I do grocery shopping on the first day. I end up with a cart full of junk. Half of it I don't even end up eating but in that moment it's imperative that I have that frozen pizza ready in the freezer. Lol.

I am usually a sweets person, but that week, all I want is chips and salty snacks!

As a general rule, we don't eat fast food. Like I could count on one hand the number of times I've eaten fast food in the past 10 years. Last week when I had PMS I made DH stop and get me fries and a frosty from Wendy's and it was sooooo good. I also baked a banana chocolate chip cake and ate nearly the whole thing.

@beesknees: It surprises me every time too.
Why do I want all these delicious, terrible, no good, foods? "OH.... the bleedz".

@IRunForFun: You baked a cake just to eat it yourself?! That is dedication! I want to do that.

@.twist.: Hahaha. Well, it was from a mix, so it wasn't THAT much work. But yes. Yes I did. I don't know whether to be proud or ashamed.

Mine generally starts about 2 weeks before my period and can last about 14 days after CD1...

Yes! It's terrible - I get starving and nauseous at the same time and just want comfort foods like pasta and crackers.

Haha. I normally don't even make the connection until several days of NEEDING chocolate (and being ragey). My last CD1 I sent my wife to the store and she came back with 6 candy bars. She knows.

Oh goodness!! I was just thinking this during my last cycle!! I've been trying to eat better since LO got here, but every period I eat like crap for about 3 days. I even bought a whole bunch of chocolate bars and I usually don't even like chocolate! I think if we have to put up with periods we should get to eat what we want.
