    I hear ya girl. Fluctuations can be frustrating. When the scale isn't being kind to me, I like to check my measurements - especially my waist measurements. Measurements are much slower to change, but they're more forgiving than the scale!

    I don't think measurements are very helpful at TOM... at least they wouldn't be for me ;)

    Sorry, but of all things that suck about being a woman, weight fluctuations wouldn't even make my list.

    Not being able to pee in the woods is number one.

    Why can't you pee in the woods? 😂

    You are right. I CAN peed in the woods, just not nearly as easily as someone with male genitals.

    At least not without worrying about peeing on your feet.

    In the woods? Pretty easy, if you don't have to fight the mosquitos or worse (yikes!), and there's adequate privacy, however you define privacy.

    Find a small tree (say, 3-4" trunk), ideally on a slope, if there are any slopes. Unbuckle, etc. Positioning body on downhill side (if there was a slope), grab the tree trunk and squat. Pee. You almost have to work at it to dribble on your feet.

    That desert or all-rock scenario isn't as helpful, though. ;)

    They do make . . . devices . . . for this, though. ;)

    @AnnPT77 There are plenty of huge boulders to hide behind however, rattlesnakes also like to hide behind boulders too. I’ve seen one too many on hikes. I like them better stretched out in the open.

    On road trip to Death Valley, at the last stop, I bought a huge bottle of water. I was thinking there would be someplace to pee along the way. Nope, not even a bush or boulder. Now on road trips or hikes I only sip water.

    You think this is frustrating??? Wait until you get to play "Fun with Hot Flashes".

    I'm almost 52 and have been waiting impatiently to play "Fun with Hot Flashes". WHERE THE HECK IS MENOPAUSE???

    I gave you an insightful for that. On long hikes with my husband, he gets to pee and I don’t. I live in a desert, so peeing behind a tree is out of the question.

    I'm not in the desert, and do pee in the woods.

    So, just checking to see if any guys have come along to man'splain things yet and am treated to female peeing methods.

    Love this place :)

    Isn't that what you're here to do?

    Preach to choir, my fellow woman!!! Although, sometimes that weight gain is a good thing. I gain almost exactly 2lbs the day before my period starts - aka, 2lb gain = know to NOT wear my nice underwear the next day.

    But yeah, it's annoying.

    Hahaha yess!!!! No nice panties for a few days. Funny how we have to think like that. "What's the situation like today? Oh no then these are all out of the question where are my almost-garbage-but-i-keep-them-for-my-heavy-days panties lollll"

    It always works. He collects hugs like ACV posts collect woos, and he likes it. Don't let him say otherwise :tongue:
