Period cravings: I just ate 4 chocolate bars and I’m ok with it

[marks1mpson]

I’m sure you girls can relate to this. I started my period today and have just had this insatiable hunger. I decided I needed to honour my cravings to avoid a full blown binge. So, given I’m in a short fat loss phase and aim for deficit calories 6/7 days, today I’ve decided to take myself up to maintenance (2100 calories), enjoy the extra food rather than feel guilty, get a good sleep and back executing a deficit tomorrow

Food is not the enemy. Our bodies do amazing things for us and after years of not getting a proper cycle due to inadequate nutrition and too much exercise I understand the benefit of giving my body a break when it calls for it.

We got this

@marks1mpson What kind though, I am always accepting chocolate recommendations.

 

[marks1mpson]

@ecumeni I went for twirls, twix and Kit Kat- all that I had lying in my cupboard - twirl was my favourite out of those

 

[ecumeni]

@marks1mpson Are you a UK girlie? We don’t have Twirls in the US…I could probably find them online…much to think about. Honestly though I’m willing to book a flight solely for a bag of Milkybar Buttons, I need them

 

[marks1mpson]

@ecumeni Yes I am I do love our chocolate choices I have to admit we’re quite spoilt!

 

[ecumeni]

@marks1mpson Absolutely. Good chocolate exists in the US but you have to intentionally seek it out. Maybe helps me watch my weight but, tragic nonetheless.

@ecumeni You’re missing out on hotel chocolat

 

[ecumeni]

@mocoman97 I am taking notes!!

@ecumeni Girl I immediately said what the hell is a Twirl

 

[ecumeni]

@vanillasunflowers Me reading the comment: What is that? Put it in my hand neeooowwwwww.

 

[vanillasunflowers]

@ecumeni Girl Google said Cadbury, I said give me 7

@marks1mpson Twirls are particularly satisfying, do you like the orange ones?

 

[david3r1]

@ecumeni Not OP but Venchi gianduja is my chocolate of choice

 

[ecumeni]

@david3r1 Consider my interest piqued!

 

[mustang4christ]

@ecumeni Mmm a Reese’s take 5! Or lately my go to is mint Oreo thins and vanilla frozen yogurt

 

[ecumeni]

@mustang4christ Take 5’s are so chaotic lol but I get the vibe. Have you tried the Justin’s peanut butter cups? The chocolate is so dense, it has changed everything I thought I knew.
