That time of the month, the visitor, your friend… Most of you ladies are well-versed in the ways of of it all, but me? I’m a bit rusty.

It’s been 4 months since I started HRT (read: my hormone story) and I’m happy to report that Mrs. Monthly has entered the building… and she brought along the biggest bag of PMS chocolate cravings with her. Like whoa.

6 years ago, when I was I studying nutrition, I learned that PMS has 6 distinct “characters”, and that each woman can experience one, or more, of these characters at any given time throughout her cycle. To help me study for my exams, I assigned each of the PMS characters a cartoon character. Hilarious.

Piglet from Winnie-the-Pooh experiences anxiety, irritability and mood swings.

Dale from Chip n’ Dale has sugar cravings (mostly chocolate).

Charlie Brown battles with depression, confusion and memory loss.

Clifford the Red Dog experiences bloating, weight gain and swelling.

Sleeping Beauty is the epitome of fatigue.

Rumpelstiltskin is greasy, oily and has bad complexion.

Any guess on what character I am?
