Cravings at THAT time of the month

I read the postings just now about the carb cravings and I find that it is just horrible for me at "that time" of the month. I just want to literally throw things in my mouth and I have to step back and try not to just overindulge. Since I am in my late 40s, I would assume that I will be going through my changes. I wonder if those cravings will leave - at least at that time of the month. Just curious, Sue

LOL you can hope and pray that they leave. Banishing those craving!

It's got to be hormonal, I am almost done with THAT time and my cravings are seriously diminishing. I do hope and pray! Sue

Sue, I am in my 50's and I still have those craving at that time of the month. I am like you and I feel like I need to eat something chocolate, I dont think that it will ever go away. I dont crave carbs to much though, but occasionlly I do. Kathleen

Hi Kathleen, I hate those cravings....they almost take on a life of their own! But it is only a couple of days, and then it gets better. Not that I don't have cravings other times, it's just not as intense then. Sue

Sue, What the strange thing is that before the surgery I had cravings around "that time" of the month...post surgery, it is when I ovulate. Crazy huh? Just another in a long line of changes that have been soooooo worth it...(as I slid into my size 8's this AM) Aren't we blessed??? Not only do we look good....hopefully we will (if it is HIS will) live longer!! Take Care, Cyndi

Cyndi, It is crazy, I had 2 "that times" in the past 6 weeks so when I go to my PCP, I will go over that with him. Congrats on the size 8s!!! Sue PS - Sorry for taking so long to reply, between work and my slow pc at home, it's hard to respond, although I do read the forum just about every day.
