What exactly do you crave TTOM?

I was just thinking about this since there has been much discussion of the topic lately.  Do you just crave food in general or specific types of foods or is there one certain thing that you crave more than others?

Personally, I get a heavy duty craving for onions!  I also like things with even more fresh garlic than usual.  The only other thing specific I crave is seafood, but that isn't as consistant as the onion and garlic.

Red meat: steak or prime rib, all of it moo'ing at me. I usually order medium rare. LOL. I dont' get the normal craving for sweets that most people get, which is probably a very good thing. LOL

If I had my way, it would be steak - all day, every day, for 5 solid days. LOL

anything salty or covered/made completely of chocolate. 

7 years ago, I would have bought a tub of Chocolate cake frosting, the most rich frosting on the shelf and would eat it by the tablespoon.

I also would have, 7 years ago, poured salt into my palm and licked it off my palm, just to ease the salt cravings.

Bad, I know.

cjerka- I feel you on the cake frosting, TTOM or not yummmm

chocolate ice cream and/or chocolate cake

Hmmm.  How about, chocolate, covered with chocolate, dipped in chocolate???

My chips and salsa cravings (which are normal) go through the roof.

During TTOM, I scarf down something sweet, then something salty, then something sweet, followed by something salty!!  Then i'm all fat and bloated and bitchy.

Yee haw!

um, pretty much anything not nailed down.

but mainly chocolate and salty things.

Carbs, chocolate's good but last month I was all about fresh baked bread.  I ate three sub rolls in one go with buttery spread and that killed my cravings.

I get sugar/salt/fat cravings about a week BEFORE I start.

I definitely crave salty foods too.  My challenge is in remembering that I can add salt without putting in on some awesome french fries!  If I feel I have to have the potato, I go for the oven baked now.

Onions! Thats something new for me......my chocolate carvings are not as great as they used to be. Funny!

I am towards the end of my (.) and I swear today I could eat a block of cheese. That is something I have never craved either!

Cinnamon buns, creamsicles, molasses bread, blue cheese.

My cravings have gone through a weird evolution. My chocolate cravings stopped half a year ago when I banned myself from it (after the first month, the cravings end) Recently I've had to ban myself from peanut butter because TTOM I can't keep it under control.

But now it's taken a new turn and I have been eating tons of oatmeal........like 4 bowls in one day. I don't know if that's going to negatively effect me cause of all the carbs? That's actually got me a lil worried. But I know I could be eating worse (like all that peanut butter).

i didn't know what TTOM was.....just figured it out because it's that time for me too!  i feel like an idiot!  *tries to run out of the room hiding*

lol, it's ok littlesara. When I first saw it posted on forums I had to take a few seconds to figure it out myself.

i crave chocolate chips cookies
cake
chocolate
steak
marble cheese
and grapefruit

thanks for understanding

right now i have this vision of the movie "carrie":  "they're all gonna laugh at you..."  "they're all gonna laugh at you..." LOL

hmmm, let's see...today it was fried chicken, and I gave in...but I just worked my butt off to Turbo Jam to make up for it  lol

oooh, Niiko...you just gave me a BAD idea--creamsicles!  I might just kill for one right now...but no, no more Turbo Jam for me tonight, thank you.

chocolate this month, followed by salty stuff....

I can't get enough chocolate though, its sick!

I read that magnesium supplements can help curb chocolate cravings.  I tried it and it seemed to work, but choc is one craving I like to cave into.  TTOM it's a feeding frenzy for me.

TTOM is a really confusing acronym.  Mainly because shouldn't it be TOTM (Time of the month) instead of Time The Of Month?

Chocolate, fast food and I get really horny (Murphy's Law).

I was so very confused by the TTOM stuff!!  I usually just call a duck a duck,  if it is before my period I'm PMSing if I have my period I'm menstrual.  I never thought that would offend anyone, 2007 and all.  I hope it doesn't, if so sorry.
