I filmed my body EVERY DAY FOR A MONTH & this happened...

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 😂👏🏻

So true. Normalize the pudge. Same with after someone eats a meal.

SO glad more women are talking about this. Helps me feel less insecure.

[@ashtoncullinan5946]

Listen, I’m a gay man and have no idea why this video is on my fyp but lemme tell you: bodies are awesome. And no one but you is looking at your body with the same amount of scrutiny you are, absolutely NO ONE. Bodies change, especially during menstrual cycles. I’m not a girl but I am a med student and I wanna say that every time I see someone, a friend, family member, or a patient in the office where I work feel insecure about their body changing during their menstrual cycle, all I can think is “Damn, I owe my LIFE to someone whose body does this every month. If their body didn’t do that, it wouldn’t have been ready or able to make a baby.” You owe your life to someone whose body does this, and the fact that yours does too is honestly really fucking cool, your body is prepared to 3D print an entirely new human. That’s insane to me, and I understand it on a much deeper level because I have to if I want to become a doctor. So just, talk to your doctor, ask about ways to manage the insecurities, and try to focus on the fact that nothing you do will make your body any less magical. Your body is so cool, I can never learn enough about it, and you have one! You have a body that can create life, you have a body that can double its blood volume and make people. You can make people, because your body does this. So please talk to your doctor about your insecurities, any and all health concerns both physical and mental, and work on strategies with them. Hope this helps!

It makes a lot of sense biologically. The body is literally preparing for a potential pregnancy. It wants to be in the most optimal conditions, which includes cushion for the baby and expansion to have the baby fit. Once it realises it's a false alarm, it just dumps it all and restarts the process. I don't get why people should expect a flat tummy 24/7. Even I, an underweight individual, have bloating. Not from pregnancy nor periods, of course, but from literally having a sandwich or water. It's called ✨ feeding your body ✨

So one day I got really sick and the dr was administering very strong testosterone injections along with a ton of vitamins. Over a short period of time, something happened and it caused my estrogen to skyrocket and my hormones to get completely out of wack. I was an emotional train wreck and could not figure out why. I would see a billboard or a commercial or even just see children with their families playing and I would be balling my eyes out. It was the most unreal roller coaster ride I’ve ever experienced.. finally I called the Dr and we figured out that I was supposed to be on a special estrogen blocker that they had forgotten to prescribe me. After telling them everything the nurse looked at me and said it’s not fun is it? That’s when it hit me..this is a small little view into what it feels like for some women and it changed my perspective for the rest of my life. I will never forget how it felt and I tell anyone who will listen every chance I get that we have no freaking clue what a woman feels or goes through and that we need to be way more patient and understanding of their feelings. It’s not always logical but you bet your butt it is real and intense. I used to think I was tough now I know it’s my mother and my wife who are the tough ones..they push/go through a lot..

Uff it is about promoting understanding, empathy and sympathy from the males. I have been shocked at the lack of under standing both genders have of the other and I think that can be improved upon. And i think The more knowledge there is by both genders about both genders the more understanding and compassion there will be for each other. How am i failing to communicate that this video could be used as one of many tools to help promote understanding between the genders? This video let's both genders know that this type of fluctuation is normal and nothing to criticise one's self or another about. Early irrational critasism can set one up for poor self-esteem and health habits for the entirety of thier lives.

This is a new thing I've been experiencing, or at least I'm super conscious of lately. I've always noticed how much more bloated I am on my period, but not leading up to it. I've honestly been struggling with it, but to see this video and the comments showing that it's completely normal and happens to a lot of people has made me feel so much better

[@athleticnerd8333]

“3 weeks away” I can literally never be 3 weeks away from a period unless I’m already on one 😂 my cycle is so short (like 23 or 24 days) and 5-6 of those days are my period 😭😭😭

[@luuumi8743]

I'm so sorry omg

[@drunkenseulgi474]

That must be so terrible 😭😭😭 I got blessed with a cycle of around 35+ days For now anyway

[@mariiemarissa]

omg girl same😭 mines is around like 22-23 days🙄

[@Meforpresidentahsosj9262]

That sounds awful mines 55 days sorry tho

[@weird_afbitvh]

I've been getting my periods after 18-19 days for past 4 months💀.

[@ohmielevisope4237]

99% of the time the person judging your looks is your own self. The thing you see as a imperfection in your eyes can be the thing that makes you attractive to other people.

[@isabellaenigmatic684]

Um wow, earth shattering difference, and I'm going to stop tearing myself a new one every time the scale pops up. I'm going to start using a monthly average to judge if I'm reaching goals. Thanks for this. I knew women could bloat a little but I didn't know it could change things this much. Seeing the change on a woman I saw as in shape and who takes care of herself totally exposed the popular shame "she just let herself go" for the fraud it is. You are a saint for this video. I don't think I know a woman who would have had the bravery to deliberately show every step of the change. You just created an instantly more forgiving mindset about myself. Amazing body confidence.

KZbin algorithms brought me here and to my surprise it was interesting. Kudos

[@kellymabel3576]

Finally a normal male reply that isn’t sexist. Thank you

[@teddy6066]

This eased my body dysmorphia so, so much, cause I'm in my pudgy phase and I'm feeling so bloated and big... thank you 🩷🥹✨️

[@Lodestone8]

How did I, as a man, not know about this? This is hopefully common knowledge and I’m just thick like brick.

[@mikjb]

Hey at least you are open minded and empathetic enough to want to learn and are not judgemental. Glad you found this. Guys talking about this in a sympathetic manner with thier sons and daughter will help in the future. Thank you.

[@joostfloot5279]

I didn't know it either man and I feel the same way.

[@jimash1672]

I needed this I have been hard on myself cause some "jerks" keep on telling me I'm heavy like atleast I'm stronger than ya. It's heartbreaking that from a healthy mind set I am now in the worst one

[@xperiencesaecm]

Well done sweetie!! This is the kind of happiness and contentment woman need to share with each other! YOU ROCK!!! Keep Smiling!

[@mishythemushroom]

as a teenager, i have body issues, but watching your channel has boosted my confidence, thank you so much

[@choosejoy93]

Damn. Isn't this the truth. The 2nd day of my period, without fail I look like I'm about 4 months pregnant 🤣🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ it's insane. More women need to see video gems like this one. It's false that bodies just remain the same from day to day or week to week.

[@haileylo8623]

It actually boggles my mind that a lot of men AND women don’t know this already. Like come on now, let’s stop being brain rot for just two minutes. That’s all I’m asking 👏

[@hainleysimpson1507]

Some women don't have any visible changes at all before during or after thei period.

[@waynelast1685]

Thank you women for what you go through to bare our children. Men, you need to treat women right.

[@kellymabel3576]

While you might think your intentions with this comment are nice, they’re actually disrespectful to women. We don’t go through this to BEAR your children. It’s just how an adult women’s body is, just like how men don’t have balls FOR us to have children. Only men who view women from a reproductive standpoint only would say things like this. We don’t say “thank you for having nuts that can get kicked and be painful so we can have OUR children.” That’s another thing, women don’t have YOUR children. It’s their child too. Try to change your perspective from that of ownership, objectification, and infantilization.

[@lavishlyenigmatic]

​@@kellymabel3576oh madam got offended 🤪

[@riccardocalosso5688]

This is good content. Im tired of all the sweet lies of social media and their whispers of perfection.

[@mariahdaugherty3303]

Thank you for this. I bloat so bad during my period and seeing you bloat the same way actually makes me feel a whole lot better ❤

[@Lin-el4wm]

I have always been thin but I fluctuate about 3lbs every month sometimes as much as 5 but it always goes back down naturally.

[@LaurenNHall77]

This is from the water in our bodies responding to the moon cycle. The moon cycle has magnetic resonance that makes the water on earth swell, including in our bodies.

[@joanxo666]

Thank you, bloating should really be normalized

[@izelcebrero]

You have no idea how you make me feel better abt my body. Thank you

[@clairesuzanne1]

It’s the anterior pelvic tilt for me

[@nathalielogico2969]

Girl thanks for thisss. I thought im the only person whos body flactuated as fast as 123 and how bloated i am days before my period, on my period and days after my period. Its crazy how i have flat stomach now and then tomorrow its crazy bloated.

[@reeb4756]

Explain this to men! Women know this already.

[@danialfaro5143]

That’s why she uploaded it to KZbin, for males and females. Plus, not every woman knows it.

[@BigBossStatusAintMadeForRunts]

Definitely doesn't change how ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS you are... THAT'S FOR SURE!!!!😘🥰💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

[@seomber960]

🥺 this is exactly what I needed to see today.

[@strobboskop]

Me in the internet years 2000 : Use nicknames, don't spread your video's and pictures on the web without thinking. Don't be traceable. Girls in 2022: OK let's make sure everyone can bust me door and kidnap me and be all over this internet place knowing i can never delete these anymore.

[@artisaline]

This was brilliant of you. And brave. Well done. And your message is clear and I doubt many people will misunderstand you. You're teaching a great lesson.

[@larozie12]

Love the body positivity!! 😍

[@sfleur962]

Thank you so much, luv - it's important to remind all girls and women that, yes, we bloat during our periods! It's natural and most of us go through that same phenomenon ! 😘

[@ririsasy]

Love you girl your self love give us courage as well thank you for being vulnerable n true in the internet

[@FranknKiAdventures]

ALLL I CAN THINK OF is: younger girls being comforted by this, so bless your heart for posting. and two how the difference your mindset is from being willing to share this from the former you wanting to hide yourself. YOU'RE WONDERFUL

[@yazmuses]

dude i love you for this! yes!

[@michime7860]

OMG THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE WTF

[@Klaus2319]

ur absolute correct. our bodies are amazing and do awsome things!

[@johnsavory2011]

I literally can Not say enough about her gorgeous smile. 😁..very pretty in combination with such alluring hair. A definite fine specimen of a beautiful woman. ⚘️

[@PaulDeanBumgarner]

Spent the last 45 years with multiple women around all the time. Best thing I ever did was pay attention to them. Amazing creatures. Amazing people. So different than us men.

[@emmaj5807]

This makes me feel so much better about myself. Thank you!! Sharing things like this is so important!!

[@amandameyer2617]

I thought I was the only one!!!! Crazy cycles, weird bloating. Like only one good week out of the month. thank you for posting this!

[@lucidmonke1517]

I stumbled across this video and I’m glad I did. I’m working on my weight loss journey and have lost 13 pounds since starting, 8 of them I lost in water weight. My belly is starting to bloat and I get so insecure and dejected, I forget my period is coming on. So this helps a lot. Thank you

[@mariealexandria603]

Beautiful darling ♥️ There's nothing wrong with your little bloat, And weight gain! you're a natural woman and you look beautiful 😍 ❤❤❤

[@Laura-fh3sc]

Wow, this is amazing and weirdly reassuring thank you

[@Ella-mh9tj]

I want to remind you that your emotions and feelings are not too much for the people who love you! Please don't doubt your worth and know you are precious. The way you work inspires me to slow down. Your character speaks for itself. Keep loving, learning, living, growing, laughing, crying, and being brave

[@lindacasey5016]

You're not alone. I swelled just like you. Couldn't be more than a moment from the bathroom & the first few days were off the chart painful. I don't miss it whatsoever.

[@cherryblue8080]

Thank you for the truly positive view of the female human body ❤

[@danaalexandraco]

Love this! Thank you 😊 I’m always extremely hard on myself when clothes get so tight and uncomfortable about a week or two before and when you’ve had a baby it’s even a little more exaggerated! Thankful I’m not the only one who feels this way and thankful to you for sharing! ❤

[@vickie961]

Thank you so much for this. It's not talked about enough and it's heavy on mental health when you struggle with your weight and image.

[@catherinedavis9278]

Thanks sis, for taking the time lol

[@JSharpe427]

You look great in all those shots! Definitely don't be hard on yourself. Every BODY changes over time

[@Dvrkwulf]

The female body is so cool 🥹

[@Max1mum0R1d3]

The relief this gives me! I’ve always complained about feeling fat on the run up to my period. Growing up my doctors would tell me a body can’t change overnight. I know it absolutely can but seeing someone videoing it and being vulnerable for us is something I appreciate so much.

[@beckyweiss6072]

This is actually really helpful. Thank you!

[@AndreaDesouza-f4t]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for sharing what happens to us day by day, week by week, just considering the period time... You are amazing to cheer us up 😊😊😊😊
