Why am I gaining weight around my period?

 

Check these out, too...

  • Pad prob! How do I get them from my locker to the bathroom?
  • Have a happier period--yes, really!--with our playlist
  • Does it hurt when you first get your period?
  • I need longer pads! How do I tell Mom?
  • What stinks down south?
Don’t you just love all this growing-up stuff? Well, fortunately, your weight gain is only temporary. It’s your body retaining water, so it’s normal to pack on a couple of extra pounds, but you’ll shed them as soon as your period is over. To lessen the bloats, avoid salty foods, exercise and, oddly enough, drink more water! It helps to flush the excess fluids out of your system.

MOD MOD!! lately every time i get my period i get really cranky, everything makes me mad, i yell at everybody, i cry because of anything, and its gotten so bad that i get in trouble! also i get the worst cramps! i don't know why it's so bad- i'm eating healthy, drinking water, getting enough sleep, and trying to exercise. is there anything i can do about my raging emotions?? thanks

 

 

Hey girly girl, unfortunately periods and moodiness can go hand in hand at times. Since it sounds like you're doing everything right, I would check with your doc and see if they have any advice for you, or anything to recommend!

*MOD My friend (G) is not potty trained. G has to wear diapers... pull-ups, huggies, pampers, goodnights. anything, but mostly just plain baby diapers. G really hates it. G is also treated like a baby around ppl G knows (baby food, high chair, crib, toddler/baby clothes and toys, bottles, etc). It's really embarrasing for G. G even has to be changed/fed by other people. Help please! And, yes, i know this is strange! Thanks!

 

 

Hey chica! How old is your friend?
