Do you believe pre/during menstrual issues cause cravings?

Yes, add me to the list!

Hubby likes M&Ms with peanuts and likes to have them in the candy dish at all times. I can buy them for him and not even think about them at all, save for those few days of the month!  I dont really even like those; HOWEVER...

I recently ate 2 big handfuls while hormonally craving and since told him to remove the M&Ms until further notice, since I cant trust myself alone in the house with them! Ha!

Heck yeah! I get a couple of days each month where I could literally eat us out of house and home! Then as soon as TOM actually starts, I'm not hungry at all. I could go a couple of days without eating anything. I do try and keep everything "reasonable" but I also don't want to turn homicidal by ignoring the cravings completely.

Y'all are cracking me up!! Eating the front door, chocolate covered steak, salt shaker lickin'! We should start a support group on here for those suffering from crazy cravings due to TOM. I don't like TOM. He isn't nice!!

So glad I'm not alone. It is bizarre how powerful the cravings are. Perhaps my being sure it is hormonal and not my losing my mojo where my eating is concerned will help me feel better. You'd think I'd have figured this out years ago but it throws me for a loop every month!!

Thanks for commiserating!!
