Answers:
I totally understand!. I think it's normal- some women just start binging like crazy before or during their period!. I know I really want heavy, greasy food or really sweet things and I never fill up :D Don't worry it's normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i get that too but I've figured out something, if you get your mind off your period you feel normal and well eat the way you do normally

Some ways to get your mind off your period: Go for a walk, draw or paint a picture, dance, hang out with some friends, talk to your family or old friends

and yes it is normal for women to eat more when they are on their periodWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah I get cravings a few days before my period starts!.

I usually ignore them and do something healthy instead, such as exercizing to combat the bloating that happens to me when I'm on my period!.

But, as long as you aren't binging and eating 5000 calories when you have these cravings, then you should allow yourself a little something when you feel like this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hey yeah im 16!.!.
im totally the same but i just drink loads of water and it helps me, but dont worry i am exactly the same and alot of my friends are too!!!
its also due to ur hormones being everywhere and u crave the unhealthy foods although veg and fruit is soo good for u at that time!.!.
also a little tip wen uve just come on ur period dont have alot of dairy the first day or so cos it makes u more bloated and gives u stomach pain!
