Well do you? 😀
Needless to say, I do. In my case, I usually find myself craving Coke (Coca Cola not the drug 😛 ) which I do not drink regularly; and crisps or potato chips. Or in fact, anything crispy, fried, filled with carbohydrates and potentially artery clogging 😛
Fortunately, the cravings are only for a day or two and the way I deal with it is by giving in. Its not like I go on a binge or anything – I just have a cup of Coke, or a snack pack of crisps and it is usually enough to satisfy the craving.
I looked it up online (in case I was the odd one out) but it appears to be quite a normal thing.
Some people crave chocolate, others crave salty things and I crave fried foods. These cravings have been attributed to a hormonal imbalance pre-period and fluctuating blood sugar levels.
I just take it as an excuse to indulge a little 😉
So, do you get these odd cravings before your period? If so, what do you crave? 😛

Oh potato chips are staple for me once a month hehe.
Just once then I’ll be back on junk food ban 🙂

Hey Paris! *Five*
I crave for potato chips too though I don’t fancy that often. I crave for fries! LOL
By the way, I crave for Coke as well but I might be the only weirdo here, I add a little salt in the Coke for a more pleasurable indulgence 😛

Hmmmm, I would crave for ice blended stuff, anything cold and sweet, from slurpees from 7-11 to ice kacang. ^.^ But, I’ll get cramps after, haihz.

You just made me crave for the chips in your pic! I haven’t really thought about monthly cravings though, but it’s coming up soon so it’ll be interesting to note.

hey, I crave for basically everything ! especially food which are high in carbohydrates from pastas, lasagna, noodles, roti canai and basically anything which are fattening late at night for around 1 week before aunty visit. Lol. Sometimes if I can’t stand the cravings, I’ll just give in. Sigh
