    Irregular periods are common when you're young. Mine evened out a little as I got older, but they never really come *exactly* on day 28, usually a few earlier or later.

    The eating might be a sign of hormonal changes right before your period. Lots of women crave chocolate. Some of the weight gain could be bloating too.

    Every woman is different, so don't worry, but if you feel you need to see a gynecologist, you could do that if it will make you feel better.

    Im the same way and have been for years I only really eat before my period and then I have to make myself eat. Its the hormones.

    I also think you should go see a doctor. You go from one extreme to the other..... maybe your doctor can suggest something (maybe a change in your diet by eating more fruits and vegetables.....)
