Did you know that the average woman ✨TEMPORARILY✨ gains more than 2kgs on her period? 🤯⤵️ You’re not gaining weight, it’s your period gal! 😘
It’s so easy to be harder on ourselves around that time of the month... We bloat like crazy, we break out in pimples, we crave all the stuff the media has convinced us is bad for us, we get cramps, we’re emotional as heck & overall just not having a great time...
Leave a ‘😅’ in the comments if you can relate, I know I’m not the only one haha!
That’s exactly why it’s important to remember:
1️⃣ how amazing our bodies are
& 2️⃣ to be kinder to ourselves when that week of the month comes around (sometimes the symptoms can start creeping in earlier too, YAY 😳)
Things that help me feel better when I’m on my ‘ladies’:
✨ resting when I need to rest
✨ giving into my cravings in moderation or reaching for a healthier alternative
✨ spending time with someone who makes me feel at home (if you’re like me, you probably get really sooky at times & need hugs haha)
✨ no picking at pimples!!!
✨ no staring in the mirror picking yourself apart! Keep it movin’ sister
✨ exercising, but I usually take it a lil easier than usual
✨ making a list of things you want to do & achieve at the start of each day & work your way through them. Being productive & keeping my mind preoccupied helps me from falling into a more emotional mindset 😂👏🏻
