I get horrendous pms and it's just kicked in today Sad, feeling really blue, sluggish and crampy. The ONLY thing I'm looking forward to is a little munch and the telly this evening when DD has gone to bed!

I know exercise and healthy diet would probably be much more beneficial for my mood and pain but please, share with me your favourite comfort foods for this time of month!

Pasta & cheesy sauce. (For a really quick cheese sauce just melt half a tub of Philadelphia cheese with a splash or two of milk, add ready grated cheese & chuck over cooked pasta). That's my top comfort meal
Or mashed potatoes & butter. Aunt Bessie's will do at a push.
Anything bland & starchy really. All the stuff that's bad for you.

Mine is mashed potato with gravy on, probably with a steak and ale pie and some token veg.

Loads of hot buttered toast can do at a pinch.

Non period comfort food is Mash with fried eggs.

It is wondrous stuff and always makes everything right in the world.

Period comfort food just needs to be food, any type of food will do, but it must involve chocolate somewhere!!

cheese and potato pie (that's what my mum called it, but its just mashed potato with fried onions and cheese mixed in, then cheese sprinkled on top and grilled)
macaroni cheese
m&s shepherds pie
Chinese takeaway

I'm craving all of those right now, shame I've decided to kick that last 10lbs and am on a health kick.

It's disgusting, but if you drink it really fast, when it's really cold, and try to think about something else... it's strangely addictive. Grin
