Food cravings!!!

[Gizzy Kelly]

Hi Girls

I have been meaning to post about this for some time!

I have noticed that around ovulation time (which is right now for me) I get period like symptoms i.e crampting feeling more irrational etc, but the worse is my food cravings. I get a total sugar fix and will stop at nothing to eat what i can.

Yesterday I went to the vending machine at work and bough a whole pack of rolo's and ate the whole lot in one go. I did not stop there as i went to get another packet of Frutella's and it went in one, a packet of crisps and I ate a chocolate cup cake which someone brought in for their birthday. I am like the Tazmanian Devil... once I start I cannot stop.

Anyone else feel like this around ovulation?

Not me

At OV you should be feeling your best during your cycle so craving sugar is a bit odd in terms of you needing a pick me up or energy xx

Hiya, not noticed it around ov, I def crave choc and all things bad when I've got pmt. At the mo I'm constantly craving yummy things cos I'm on this diet. Reading your post really makes me want rolos now! Lol. But instead I'm having ryvita (boak), fruit and a weight watchers fromage frais! Picture Kay Kay with a petted lip! Hehe x

Just this year I have been getting very odd ovulation signs, very like I'd expect at the time of period due actually, I get crampy and bloated , very tender tum, slightly sore boobs, mood swings, and I comfort eat too. I am quite sensitive to hormone changes and so thought just down to more hormones going on recently.... It all eases up about 4-5 days after ovulation - maybee your the same?

I would see it as a good thing, maybee your body is in tune with your hormone changes and reacts quickly to them. I would remove all loose change from desk drawer at that time of the month next month incase.....

I'm the same as kk. I'm at my happiest most confident and more likely to eat better around ov. Just before af I will devour anything!!

How strange that it is just me I hope I don't have some kind of sugar in balance!

Lol perhaps I def more willing around ovulation, I am not sure that is what us ladies just get used to (lots of sex!) or if that is the norm now we do it so much!

Ps not complaining...
