Just had a 'proper' period as I normally bleed a bit everyday but am going through a phase where I can't stop eating.....all the sweet things too! I dont even feel full up im still looking in the cupboard for biscuits or something sweet. I feel bloated and uncomfortable but still have the urge to eat, I've eaten so much fruit today but doesn't stop the sweet urge.....help???

    Hi Tracky, look at your sleep pattern. Tiredness can make you feel the need to wake up with sugar intake. Have you had blood tests done to check your iron levels , thyroids as they can throw your body balance off?

    Good luck

      Thank you, my thyroid and iron were taken in March so doctor doesn't feel these need to be rechecked. I most probably need more self control!

    Fruit will make you crave more sugar as it has plenty of sugar in it. Step back and drink some water to help flush out the toxin (sugar), and then look towards stocking protein in as snacks. Nuts, seeds, unsweetened peanut butter. Protein with good fat will help you feel full and curb those urges.
