For who knows why, I had a major case of the munchies last night! And no, I didn't smoke any weed, if that's what you're wondering. After a bowl of chili, I ate doritos, chips ahoy, bbq flavored potato chips, then more chips ahoy, then I wanted to run to the store and was craving cheese its and flaming hot cheetos, but my bf talked me out of it. I went down to the fridge and rummaged thru it to see what else I could eat, didn't have what I was craving, then I remembered I had a bag of peanut M&Ms in my purse, so i grabbed those and ate them. Then like 1 n 1/2 hrs later mom told me she made some mac n cheese, green beans and fish, so I ate that! I was sleepy afterwards and went to bed an hr later, just to dream that I went to an all you can eat buffet and was grabbing everything they had!

I don't know what came over me. I'm not on any new meds or anything. Normally I don't have much of an appetite at all. Do any of you get a major case of the munchies?

Oh yeh!! Usually when that happens I eat something sweet, then I need something salty and the cycle goes on and on until I'm stuffed. It doesn't happen often..but it does happen. lol

((gentle hugs))

I get them but when I am depressed, Guess thats why I am overweight LOL

I know people with diabetes or sugar gets too high or low get the munchies, You check your sugar level.

Oh, I hate it when this happens. I also will get so hungry that I don't know what I want. Then nothing sounds good and I end up not eating anything or just bad food at that point.

But I notice this around my period too.

i know i'm not pregnant. It's not possible with an IUD, right? Maybe it is my blood sugar. Oh well, not like it happens that often, so I don't think I should worry, right?

I do that too, usually my gut is so tense and balled up that I eat very little.. Some days out of the blue everything relaxes in there and man or man look out fridge, cupboard or drawer! I don't have periods any more but way back when I remember every now and then some hormone kicked in and I was raving craving FOOD, sweet, salt, gooey food, crisp food and lots of it.....excuse me folks I must get to the kitchen!

I go thru this every once in a while.

I can go a few days without eating, eat once a day, eat 3 times a day. Then every so often i eat all day long! anything in site.

Its not a good idea to go to the grocery store when all u want to do is eat.

Its not from any of my meds, been on them a while now so im not sure what causes this,, boredome, stress, anxiety? not sure
