Once more, it's that time of the month. You discover that you consume a few extra slices of pizza in addition to devouring every french fry in sight.

Then, in an effort to feel better, you grab for the bag of chips and the bar of chocolate. If you identify with this, you are not alone in feeling this way because it is a very typical sensation.

There are people whose appetite tend to be on the increase on the days before their period or even during their periods. The OP in today's AITA story is one of them.

They usually do intermittent fasting, meaning they don't eat after 5 p.m., but when the OP is on her period, her appetite gets several times bigger. One day, she craved for some chicken sandwiches and asked her mother-in-law if she wanted any, but she said no, only for her to want one after the OP had finished eating her own.

The OP offered to make a new one but discovered that they were all out of chilli. After trying to get one, she called her husband, who told her to just buy one instead.

She offered it to her mother-in-law, who once again said she wasn't interested. The OP ate it, and we went to bed, only to wake up and discover that the muffin was gone.

Read on to know how the whole story unfolded. 

The OP writes:

When the OP's mother-in-law law came into the kitchen again, the plate was already wiped clean

Even after looking at several convenience stores, the OP couldn't find the brand

She won't be putting her foot in our house ever again for the amount of disrespect the OP showed her

People who have compulsive eating have a strong, uncontrollable drive to consume huge quantities of food, eat quickly, or consume food when they are not hungry. Binge eating is a common term to describe this.

Redditors didn't blame the OP for her actions, as her MIL clearly said she didn't want any. Drop your replies about this story in the comments below.
