Rag Time!

southernbelle0915

And no, I'm not talking "The Entertainer".

I started my period today... Add it to the "Mondays are the worst" list! @laqueredlover

All I ever want when I'm on my period is Taco Bell, macaroni and cheese and wine. WHY? Does anyone here know science? Why am I not craving kale and rice cakes?!?!

What are your rag time cravings?

I get super bizarre cravings that vary from month to month, and sometimes nothing at all. One month I was DYING for something but I couldn't figure out what. It was July, and all I wanted was this THING that was kinda cinnamon-y? But I couldn't pinpoint it, so I went to Panera and had a chai tea latte with a cinnamon crunch bagel. That was apparently it. 

Most often it's cucumber skins with ranch dressing.

Cheese! And chocolate!

So, not really different than my everyday cravings...

I get antsier for chocolate, soda and fried foods when I'm perioding.

I opened this thread thinking, "Joplin, or Flo?"  

Got my answer.  

Mine isn't slated to start for another two weeks or so, but I tend to get super hungry the week before it starts.  All I want is chocolate, mac n' cheese, and junk food.  The week of, I have to get a big steak or else I feel really drained and ill.  

Just once I'd love to crave only the healthy things in life.  

But no, chocolate trumps healthy every time.  

lacqueredlover

Chocolate, Baked Ziti, Cannoli's and all the cheese in the world.

Granted that's what I always want but it's worse when I"m on my period.

Meat. I rarely crave red meat, but when I start my period, I just want all the meats. And not so much specific foods (aside from meat) but large quantities of food. Like I'm just a bottomless pit that needs to be fed.

Mexican food. I always want mexican food when I'm on my period. Also french fries.

theartistformerlyknownas

That sounds like a normal day for me.

I do crave red meat a bit more, because I tend to run a little anemic on a normal day and that pushes me over the edge.

Chocolate & red wine.  

blabla89

ALL the chocolate. And wine. And comfort foods like my favorite pizza or steak and mashed potatoes.

I don't think my period directly causes those cravings though. It makes me have crazy mood swings which leads to eating my feelings.

Chocolate and binge eating. Can you crave binge eating? Because once a month, I am able to out eat the human vacuum cleaner aka DH.

loveislouder

Caesar salad, steak, and apple pie, but only the apple pie from McDonalds. It's strange, because I never eat McDonalds, ever.

larrygaga

Anything super salty and garlicy. Pizza, garlic stuffed olives, ramen. 

Once I just sat and licked salt off the pretzels until my tongue was raw. 

I never crave chocolate. I just don't care about it, lol.

ohannabelle

Oh, good, I get to bitch! 

WTF? I'm supposed to be finished with all of this, but the damned thing is back, with a vengeance. I really thought it was over. 5 months without, and hot flashes, and crazy ass mood swings and heinous weight gain and all that frikking menopausal magic. I am supposed to be FINISHED!  That's my consolation prize for getting old.

But, nope.

I crave everything. Typically, one or two days a month of nonstop eating.

Which, apparently, is no longer a thing of the past. 

mrscomposer

Steak and broccoli (apparently I need iron.  Who knew?).

Oh, and bread.  Breeeeeeeaaaaaddddd.  The fluffy white stuff.  Bonus points if it's still warm.  Mmmm.

arrippa

Every month is the same, salt and chocolate. I know my period is coming when I start craving pistachios.  

NYCMercedes

Donuts. Especially donuts loaded with chocolate glaze.

wandajune6

I started today too. I'm working from home today and have managed to kill half a bag of orange Milano cookies, 3 sticks of string cheese, and 2.5 apples sliced and dipped into caramel dip. It's ugly.

I've been obsessed with ramen coleslaw so I made a huge vat for dinner. It's pretty unhealthy and has no protein so I'll probably serve it with a side of scrambled eggs. I'll give the dog a yolk so I can tell myself I'm being healthy (even if I end up adding ham and cheese to the eggs!)...

It sounds pretty delicious to me but SS will throw a fit.

redoryx

Chocolate and Peanut Butter in any and every combination I can think of.

princessleia22

On a side note, since it's a common PMS craving:

 

The World is Running Out of Chocolate!!!

And it could be very difficult to get in 5 years!

I love truffles so much! Also anything bread related. I have really bad cramps so I can't each much but a lot of healthy things ha.

raissyrais

You guys will all hate me. I never PMS, I never seem to crave anything, I never get bloated or have cramps or pains...pill or not. I swear am not a robot.

climbingsingle

Burger and fries. Cheese covered everything. Pizza. And chocolate.

DaniBites

lyndausvi

I started yesterday.  

 The days leading up I'm always craving red meat. BIG TIME. Like I will want burgers for lunch and a fat filet for dinner.   For a few days in a row.  I can't seem to get enough While I like red meat, the rest of the month I do not eat it often.

goldchocobo.defunct635829490514903826

I hate food.  All of it.  Smells bother me, especially fried things.  I imagine this is what morning sickness is like?

beethery

Zebra cakes and burritos. And Kettle cooked Lays chips.
