Bloating during that time of the month

hi all! For all the ladies out there I just wanted to know if like me, you balloon the week before your period? It really messes with my mental health because I gain upwards 5-6 lbs. I'm almost 2 years out and been holding steady between 143-148 since January but I always freak out the week before. Am I the only one?

OMG! Yes, to the point I can button my pants!

You are NOT alone! I will tell you WHAT will REALLY mess with your mind.....try having a hysterectomy and STILL bloating up during your "regular" time....ugh! Messed with my mind BIG time til I realized they didnt take my ovaries so they are still sending out crazy messages to my brain and body! 

Yep.

I'm good for at least 6 lbs and even though I'm just over a year out I still don't have the good sense to stay off the scale during this time.
