Help: water retention/period/TMI warning

maverickyanda

Yes, I'm drinking lots of water.

Is it possible that it won't help and I have to wait it out?

I did eat some carbs today (some sugary stuff) but that can't explain why there's no poo (he he) even though I have downed over 100 oz of water.

Also not peeing as much...and I generally pee all the time. (Esp this time of the month!)

Errrrr it's the first day.

Also um sorry for TMI but I "go" every day of my period for sure!!

My face is puffy.

I wonder if MFP has us all on the same cycle now. lol I think that retaining water etc is just part of the deal. Sometimes its worse than others. I actually get relieved when I finally get my period because i'm like - oh, thats why I was feeling fat and gross all week.

I think just relax and yes, drink water. I also let myself indulge a bit if i get sugar or salt cravings without going totally overboard.

Just think, iluvsparkes, if you weigh yourself this week next week's numbers will probably be that much greater.
