No, you are most definitely not the only one....everybody does, it's a hormone thing...

LOL!! You're not the only one! I crave food like I was pregnant when my period hits. I see something on tv, its like the whole world will end if i don't get it.
A bottle of water for some reason takes away that craving. I think it's a primal thing. Because we are shedding and didn't get preggers, we want to eat to regain what we've lost and get as "fat" as we can so if we do get preggers, we have enough to get the proccsess going. I could be wrong!
Enojy your munchies!!

Same here, I get the feeling that i need to keep eating, just small things but often, and i only ever want to eat chocolate when i first come on as well, at other times i do not eat chocolate, so you are not alone, it is down to our poor hormones.

That's how I know my period is coming. I get the urge to stuff my face! I could eat all day and not feel satisfied.
I read somewhere that it is nature. Women eat more around the time of their period to ensure that they are healthy enough to get pregnant.

no not at all..i do get the munchies as well as feeling an urge to clean like i would if i was at the latter stages of pregnacy,i sometimes get aroused which is odd..but there you go..cook a pot full of curly kale..butter and some gravy if you like..try not to eat sweet things.

Nope, you are not alone. I could kill a whole bag of potato chips in one sitting, followed by several pieces of chocolate or some ice cream. This is why I don't buy that kind of stuff anymore...I can't trust myself to be in the house at that time of the month with them!

No, I get the worst munchies when I am PMSing. It is like constant cravings but I am never actually hungry.

Nope, just had 3 glasses of wine and 3 bags of crisps, just going for a bar of chocolate now. Why not,we need a bit of comfort at this time.

I feel exactly the same...I clear the fridge, I have been known to eat jam - straight from the jar, pickled peppercorns - again from the jar, anchovies, cheese, raw onions anything that is in the house. So no, you are not alone.

honey i think you have met your match. i EAT so much its unbelievable and its not that i feel hungry, i just feel the urge to eat and i don't actually feel guilty about eating that much as i would when i am not on the period. but the good thing for me is after my period i loose my appetite completely for about a week or 2 and so it balances out.
