How do you girls stay positive on your on before your period?????? I'm due on in a couple of days and feel so bloated! My stomach looks like it did before i started dieting! Today I have had egg on toast a hand full of nuts and a smoothie! I'm still due to eat my dinner. I will still be below my calorie intake but because i feel so far i don't want to eat!! But obviously i will eat because my body will need it! I know full well when i have had dinner i will feel guilty! But I'll still be in my deficit! Need advice

Just remind yourself that everyone has days like this. No one is judging you. Just treat yourself with kindness, snuggle up with a good blankie and hot cup of tea. And it's okay to eat a little more before your period, sometimes you just need it. Just don't go overboard and you'll be fine.

Oh goodness i know exactly how you feel. I gain like 7-8lbs of super painful water retention before my period + gas and am generally not a pleasant person to be around. I am super susceptible to binges but found putting on loose but neat clothes, doing my make up, hair and nails and wearing nice body lotion and pretending its not happening during the day before crashing out early in my comfy pj's in the evening and sleeping early really helps. I also find if i eat lots of fruits and veggies with just a little indulgence like a couple of squares of dark chocolate at least i feel i am being good to my hormone bruised body. I'm still massively learning but had my first period where i didnt overeat and gain in a long time last month yay!!

I have my period right now and feel huge! Try not to stress. It's only a temporary feeling.
