Why can't I stop eating the week before my period??

Okay ladies, I really need some support here. I am in my PMS week, and can't stop eating. I'm not hungry. I just want to snack all day. I am really good at all other times, I'm just wondering if this is related to hormones or stress or something else. What can I do to stop eating?? A typical day this last week has been a poached egg with cheese in the morning, lunch is a half lean cuisine/frozen dinner thing, then about an hour later, I am going crazy for sweets and carbs. I'll have a few tortilla chips with cheese and salsa, then half hour later a scoop of SF ice cream, a bite of a cookie, then a handful of this or that.....it is really bothering me and feel like I can't stop. I do try to get in one protein shake a day. I should also add that I am five months out and have done well in my weight loss. Does anyone think my snacking is boredom/depression related? I am unemployed, looking for work, my husband is always gone away to work, and I recently went off my antidepressant meds. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Kim S.
