Totally normal, I eat like crazy a week before my period. And I wait until 2 days after TOM to weigh myself to let my body stabalize from the calories I took in ;)

Ugh. I'm the same way. I turn into one little piglet the week before my period. I just want to eat. Nothing specific, just anything that passes my way. ...and instantly when I get my period my appetite is gone! But the week before is awful.

I have never really paid much attention to this before. But now that you mention it I do tend to want to eat more.. and all the things I want are NOT what I should be eating.

Right before you start are any of you super bloated? Like the jeans that fit the other day are now about to pop the button off. I have been doing the 30DS and this is very disappointing :(

Wow, so glad I noticed this thread.

My period comes on the 7th or 8th of every month. Hooray for clock work TOM's! This will be my first period on my new way of eating and since yesterday I have been starving!!! Can't get enough!!!! Yesterday I was in the high 1700's for calories and still could've ate a horse.

Yup I always get hungry the week before my period starts. I keep track of my cycles so I just look at my calendar and I know that is the reason why I am hungry. I tend to get hungry during my period also. My period is due to start tomorrow so Im just bracing myself for the bloat and water weight gain.

It's so reassuring to know that other people experience the same thing. I think mine is coming soon but I did kind of freak out last week because I was literally hungry every 30 minutes or something. I sometimes feel like I get hungrier midway between periods too.
