Yes Carla, I have the same problem. Some of my biggest cravings are for pizza, french fries and chocolate.

I absolutely have this problem. The anxiety is extremely bad right before my period. I also could eat and eat and eat. I crave cheese burgers (the last thing I need) lol!

Yep. I can ALWAYS tell when my period is about 2-3 days away, because my anxiety shoots through the roof. To this day, despite how far I've come and how much I've improved, those few days just nearly kill me. I can also relate to the hunger thing. For a while I was seriously worried I was bipolar or something and going through an up-phase that involved impulsive eating, because I would seriously eat and eat and eat and it would never be enough. My lovely period would always arrive several days later and finally I put the connection together. Don't feel alone, we all go through it. I just try to live through those days and be nice to myself. Sorry if that advice isn't the greatest, but it's about all we can do. Exercise helps too. Just take it easy and be kind to yourself. Indulge a little, but not too much. Sometimes the foods we crave can make our PMS symptoms even worse.

Yes, yes and yes!! I have a different brain and a different body the week before my period. And it's a bit more chaotic now that I'm not on the pill, too. I relate to the constant eating and never feeling full. I'm in the midst of it right now.
