    Thanks for this post! I was definitely makin myself mad for no reason getting on at that time. Next month - scale will be out of reach a few days before until a few days after. Thanks ladies. SN: Periods suck but we bring life into the world. Women are so so uniquely splendid! Luv us!

    Really? Is this going to be a daily thing where one of you have a period you all have to agree and then talk about how much weight you gained! So I guess every month you gain two ponds and at 40 years old you should be like 1000 pounds overweight!!!! Let's see if you guys talk about your period I'll talk about the diarrhea dump I took this morning! Why does corn never break down properly? Never eat beets and then look the next day....homicide scene!

    Oh I'm sorry did I rant to much!

    At least you realize you

    1. Are going to have a period no matter what

    2. Probably retain fluid

    3. Crave the most horrible foods

    4. Know that you will go in ***** mode

    :flowerforyou: Hang in there

    And it will start all over again in a few weeks...

    Oh crap, you mean I will go through this month after month for years and years?! It thought this was a one time thing. Thanks for keeping me informed :flowerforyou:

    And never eat Chilli Masala with extra chilli's. You might think it's fiery going in but you'll change your mind the next day.

    With the availability of western medicines birth control it bogged my mind why women (without a medical condition) wouldn't take some.form of hormonal birth control to end cramps, bloating, ect...

    If you can't handle seeing a larger number even though you know the reason why, don't do it.

    I know exactly how you feel, trust me! I sometimes gain up to 5 or 6lbs from my period! It's not from eating either....but then once I see how much I've gained despite my efforts, I say "whatever" and give into my PMS cravings because the point seems mute. Sigh. (Not to mention skin breaking out, mood swings).....I think as women we get two weeks out of the month when we're somewhat normal and not afflicted by ridiculous hormones. Thanks for that nature. Hang in there girlie, it will be over in another week or so.

    Some women would rather not take a pill to alter the natural state of their body. It actually blows my mind that some people believe so much in Western Medicine. It isn't always the answer and many times causes more problems then it solves.
    It also blows my mind why some people would eat chicken from McDonald's, use splenda instead of sugar and consume low-fat, fat-free, fake garbage and refer to it as food and even "healthy." But live and let live.

    This reminded me of a bumper sticker I saw yesterday: "Nuttier than a squirrel turd!"

    I don't bother weighing myself from about 3 days before mine starts til about 3 days after it ends. Why bother? You are just aggravating yourself for no reason.
    Tomorrow is weigh in day for me but I'm in the middle of TOM, thanks for the heads up that I'll weigh more than I expected, saves me scratching my head about it tomorrow.

    Put your scale away while it that TOM, it's just not worth discouraging yourself over.

    Agree and I try to weigh in at most once a week.
