    I literally go up 2 dress sizes when I am on my period. I hate it, but i think its totally normal. I think best thing to do is not weigh yourself, that was a tip someone else gave me on here.

    I dont know about you but I also crave chocolate that week..! Not had to deal with it yet but that will be hard!!

    Water weight can stick around all the way to the end. Don't weigh yourself until it's totally over. Also, watch your sodium levels. Drink as much water as you can possibly stomach between now and the end of your TOM, which will help your body release some of the excess
