Helloooo, darlings! When I was a teenager, I can never remember my “time of the month” causing me as much grief as it does as a twenty-something. The cramps, fatigue, bloating, and an insatiable appetite seem to be a more recent thing to the past few years. Now, the discomfort and tiredness is something that I can deal with with a Motrin and a Starbucks. But, what really bothers me is the crazy increased appetite.
For a good long while, I suffered from a vicious cycle of binging and purging and the amount that I eat in one sitting on my period definitely brings me back to that. But, oh my god, am I hungry! It’s a difficult thing to deal with and I was wondering if anyone had any tips to lessen these intense hunger pangs when Aunt Flo pays a visit. Whether that be more regular little meals, an increased amount of protein, or what have you – I am willing to try anything and any suggestions help!
Thanks in advance! ❤

I eat more filling foods like oatmeal and bananas. It still fills my bottomless pit of a period stomach up and I am not super super bloated

I actually just try to have healthier snacks on hand. I crave salt so I buy some of the sweet potato chips or almonds. I also crave chocolate so I started buying chocolate yogurt and freezing it. That way even if I do over eat I don’t feel as guilty since it was healthier so I don’t punish myself

This is the time of month were you go to Costco and stock up on all the fresh fruit and cheese, and perhaps a bottle of good wine 😉
