I just thought I would share what I am going through at the moment. I am sure I will be starting my period within a few days because in the past week I have had cramps, trouble sleeping, mood swings and irritablitiy and now I feel like I must have CHOCOLATE. that or anything salty deep fried and bad for me. this is really awful. On top of all of this I am just now getting over being really sick with a cold. I think somehow when you are sick your period knows and it decided to come right at the specific moment when you are already feeling your worst. At least it only lasts a week but then I get to look forward to having more severe cramps when my period does start! Being a woman is Very unfair sometimes.

Amen! It is no fun being a woman sometimes. I feel like I must have chocolate anytime of the month ;)

I only eat chocolate about 4 days before my period is due, it is so, so delicious at that time of the month.

I also eat way too many sweets at that time of the month too.

My sugar levels must go through the roof :)

I agree with you 100%. But, my stomach disagrees so I have to eat it in moderation. I saw that mentioned anything fried and bad for you. Try dipping oreo cookies in pancake batter and frying them, in a little bit on vegtable or conola oil. I had it at an amusment park once and wound up making them at home. I just made some yesterday. Also you could take won-ton skins, fill them with a little bit of Nutella and fry those. It satisfies both craving fried and chocolate.

Me too, it's terrible, yet great at the same time because we can indulge. I don't know what it's like to be pregnant and wont for at least the next ten years. But, from what I heart those cravings are insane.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
