I feel like a ravenous bugblatter when I have my period

I just eat and eat, and don't want to stop.

Does this happen to everyone?

Yes definitely. Post menopause now, never feel the need to overeat.

Yes and it’s fine, I just eat as much as I want and then eat less later when I am less hungry.

Oh good, I'm glad it's not just me. I've just sent a message to DP asking him to make me a cup of tea and a syrup sandwich. I can't even remember which decade I last had a syrup sandwich in.

And that's also reassuring regarding post-menopause. I can't imagine feeling like this all the time.

Oh my goodness, yes! I always do this. I kind of like it and allow myself to be a bit greedier for those days.

I've also just had a hard boiled egg with mayonnaise and pepper. It was lovely.
