Dear Poll: What Do You Crave When You Have PMS?

November 23, 2007

Women all over the world can agree that there's nothing fun about getting your period, but unfortunately we can't avoid Aunt Flo's monthly visit. Cramps, bloating and b*tchiness make that time of the month almost unbearable, but feeding your cravings surely does help!

When it's that time of the month for me, I can't get enough sugar, but what about you? Since we're all in the same boat once a month, what do you crave when you're PMSing?

Cannot stop eating. Now that I'm on birth control my cravings aren't as bad, but it was really ridiculous. Once I was craving sugar so much that I ate a can of sprinkles. Haha. My roommates will never let me live that one down.

sort of everything, but this past one i had to have red meat almost every day! (sort of weird...and not so great considering i'm not a huge fan of the taste of meat) my doctor says i'm low in iron though, especially at that time, so it makes sense

All kinds of junk food - sweet, salty, and fatty. Cheesecake, chocolate chip cookies, quesadillas with pastrami, french fries, pizza, etc. I normally don't crave that kind of food, but during PMS, oh my goodness. And they taste SOOOOOOO good!
