- 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 😂👏🏻

Hey friends, here's a little Shorts video that has helped millions of people on Instagram and I thought it may help a few of my TH-cam friends on here who may not follow me over on my IG world. I hope this helps!! Peep the caption for more :) I'll be posting a very exciting new TH-cam vid soon... I've been working on a SECRET PROJECT & it's almost time to share what that is xox
Yes could be totally normal! And could also be endo belly. So it’s good to inform oneself on everything just in case :)
Yaar c'mon ,
I am afraid that
I don't wanna fall in love with you..
You can correct your forward pelvic tilt, by strengthening your glutes and your abs.
This would relieve the lower back pain you get and also the neck stiffness
You probably caused a bunch of tent pitching.
Yeah not helpful…more desperate than anything
As a guy I never knew a woman's body shape changes like this as they get closer to their period. Changed my perspective there
our bodies change a lot during our period. me personally, my breasts get pretty tender and sore, i get hungrier and i bloat a lot. our bodies are, in a way, preparing for pregnancy.
@@a.s.h-yes, exactly. our bodies “prepare” for pregnancy, but since no eggs are actually fertilized, hormone changes happen
kinda refreshing to see a guy politely noticing something and learning something new about women without shaming us and being childish about it. ik its the standard but still
@@BirdIsTheWorld735 fr, its good to see good guys when we usually see the rude ones
@@madelyn9985 yess
I am actually shedding tears, I was so cruel to myself for years and years when it came to bloating around my period. thank you for this ❤
🫂
@double ❤️☺️🎊
ik this was one year ago but how are you doing now ml?
I'm so glad my mom told me you gain 2/3kg of 'weight' during pms till your period, i never found it weird that i was more pudgy after that 😂 and we literally never owned a scale 😅 so i couldn't verify.. i just accepted it
It’s getting unbearable to live with since I hit 35. I can barely function & am sick for a week before I start them 2 days after I start. Nothing helps.
So true. Normalize the pudge. Same with after someone eats a meal. It's not always bloating (SORE PAINFUL GAS), most of the time people just have a larger stomach after food because they JUST literally ate a bowl of food that is now in their stomach LOL Meals do not just vanish away instantly, it has to be broken down.
Hey girl if u take digestive enzymes it really gets rid of and prevents bloating. I take source naturals. I am not affiliated just sharing I used to get hideously bloated and haven’t in a decade
@@etherealdeal1792 I do have organika enzymes. I dont ever seem to have stomach issues unless I have mcdonalds or if I have to eat dinner at a restaraunt after 8 pm... Late meals kills me ahah
@@ally9174 *Fake news* the pudge has nothing to do with your uterus
@@ally9174 the uterus is inside the pelvic region not poking out from beneath the skin. You can have minimal fat there and even a flat stomach. The excess fat on your belly is not protecting shit.
@@ally9174 it depends on your build. I do not have a pudge neither do most of my friends 🤷🏾♀️
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 ✨
It’s not normal to bloat JUST from drinking water or a sandwich, especially if it’s constant 💀it would be if you were on ur period
My stomach is not flat like hers though
@@leila.7754Mine is period and sibo and ending etc
@@leila.7754it happens to me as well even though I'm not underweight
Dude - our uterus is filling up with blood
Man here -- I get a paper cut and everyone hears about it for 3 days.
Women go through so much more and say nothing.
Respect to all of you!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
personally i tend to say a lot of things during my first day (which is really painful) so there you have it. its okay to be upset about being hurt for as much as you want! :)
Paper cuts kinda hurt more than a period if it’s on your finger since it keeps reopening saying this as a woman 😂
@@CoraCox-in8mz periods technically reopen to? just monthly lol
@@CoraCox-in8mzIt depends, I'm lucky to have non hurting periods, but I know others for whom they are so painful they are bedridden for a day or two.
I gain 6-10 lbs starting the week before my period and by the time the flow stops I'm back to my usual weight. Every. Single. Month.
THAT sucks frr
I never paid attention to this weight flow. But last week I got stuck at a higher weight and nothing changed. Today I lost weight after 5 days of no loss. As I track my weight at the moment, I saw that over 3 weeks I'm on a healthy path (0.5kg/weeks lost). But it might feel depressing to see a weight gain or no loss during half of the month
Yea I concur . When I used to get my periods I would gain between 5-7 lbs 😐
I gain around 5-8lbs and I swear it hits me like 3 to 2 days before my period. Just WHAM out of nowhere. Took a while for me not to panic at the sudden gain. Seeing comments like yours and videos helped me realize it was pretty normal.
Yep, me too. It’s about 7 lbs for me
SO glad more women are talking about this. Helps me feel less insecure.
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!
For everyone saying "Oh she's sticking her stomach out to appear bigger," have never had severe bloat during your period. You literally can't stand up straight because your back hurts too much and all the bloat makes your stomach heavy. I have great posture, until I have my period and then it's all out the window.
I don't know about if she's sticking her stomach out but it does look like she's trying harder to keep her stomach in on the first clips the others just look like the relaxed state
@@Shadow.172 doesn't mean she faked it.
@@MollyHJohns I'm not saying she did it's just you can kinda tell if someone's sucking in a little, it looked tensed slightly which is fine but I can't help but feel bad when I see that because I remember always doing that and girls shouldn't have to feel like they need to do that.
I know a lot of boys (you’re not a man if you can’t accept this) think it’s gross. I think it’s all beautiful. I can’t wait to get back into a relationship and be able to help someone through this. It’s painful and unique but I have a lot of appreciation that women put up with it so well 🤷🏼♂️
@@Shadow.172yep she goes from full on flexing to complete relaxation 😂
I'm a guy and I did not know that a woman's body, especially in the stomach region, could move out of shape on their period, thank you for thst information.
Yeah, pretty crazy how our bodies act when they think we have a baby in us-
Idk if you'll see this or not, but from the bottom of my heart, I needed to see this video. I struggle with body dismorphia after being 200 lbs and going down to 120 now at 130. My budget before and during my period sends my mind into spiral, more than usual. Thank you so much this really meant the world to me ❤
Are you me?! I was 200 and went to 120/130 and I get so scared of gaining again and when I have my period moments I feel so disgusting and then I literally always go back to my normal weight. I didn't learn this u til this year when I started tracking my weight and period every month
Hey, I have the same issue, I tell you what helped me? I got rid of full length mirrors. I only have 2 round mirrors in the house. A therapist suggested it, she said "out of sight out of mind". She told me : you will know if you get bigger if your clothes don't fit anymore. I've been the same size since I was 24, I'm 37yo now. Hopefully this helps you a little :)
Bro I thought this only happened to me 🤯I’m so happy to learn that I’m not crazy for thinking I look different throughout the month and that it happens to other women too 💁♀️
SAME LOL!!! I’d notice I’m looking thicker in the waist and I know what’s coming 😩😂
*SO BASICALLY SHE ADDED BELLY FAT THROUGHOUT THE MONTH* 🤦🤷♂️🤣
No you didn’t. Lol
You really thought that..? Like… really?
How old are you that you didn’t know?
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..
Hehe, secretly, I cry during commercials too. Or if I see something sweet or hear a beautiful song 🎶 🥲
This whole concept of the opposite gender experiencing what it's like with higher estrogen/testosterone is so interesting... In the future could this be a common way for people to understand each other's perspectives better? It also makes me wonder what else we don't know about the "female condition"
Mad respect to you for thinking this through and sharing it!
Thank you this actually made me feel better to hear from you guys. After I posted it I cringed 😬 I was like why did I just tell all these people that 🤦🏻♂️
That is beautiful, thank you for sharing
Girl I just found your Insta and TH-cam recently and let me tell you, you already changed my life. I was in a cycle of binging and restricting / fasting and I was about to enter my extremely restrictive phase when I found you. You helped me switch my mindset.. You made me realize how brainwashed I've been by the diet culture. I'm following all your tips, I calculated my tdee, set a realistic caloric intake and continuously honor my cravings in moderation. I feel so much better already, even just mentally... Hoping to see results soon but I feel like this is the beginning of a new life for me. I really want to thank you 💕🙏
Hey, I just wanted to say this is amazing and I'm so proud of you!! ❤❤
Your body deserves love, treat it well and you will be so much happier and healthier (physically AND mentally!)
I'm so happy for you 💓
Great now u in a deficit so start hitting them weights
2 plate bench otw yessir
So glad you're changing the unhealthy ways. Best of luck to you on your journey friend ❤
For the LONGEST time I didn’t know all women experience this!!! No one ever talked about it
Nadie habló de esto? O siempre hablamos de esto pero los hombres deciden creer que somos exageradas y simplemente estamos locas. No tienen idea de lo doloroso que puede ser a veces, o del nivel de inflamación que puedes tener durante días enteros... creo que solo es mentira que nadie habla de esto. Solo nunca quisieron tomar el tema en serio.
Also my skin tends to break out or just look worse when my period is getting closer. Being a woman is hard, be nice to us!
I’m literally crying because I feel so bad about my mood swings during them because I know I can control them but it’s so hard:(
I feel like the best thing to do is to keep to myself on those days. It literally feels like there’s a storm raging inside of you 😔
Ask your doctor about taking inositol. It's a natural substance found in different foods but it helps with mood swings during PMS. It's helped me immensely. I take it every day in my water, but I add more the week before my period. I hope you start feeling better
@@babyree2901 read my reply to her ❤
Birth control will help so much if you're able to take it
I treat and pamper myself during my period because it’s a miserable time for me emotionally and physically. It’s okay to have emotions 💕 we try to cope with them as best as we can and that’s all we can do. I allow myself to order delivery, I buy a treat for myself, I take a bath and exfoliate my whole body (because it can feel so icky even if I’m clean) and I watch movies/read books I love. Birth control did help ALOT which I’m thankful for as well. But our body is working hard to keep us regulated so I love to give it a little hug and tell it to “calm down a little” 🤣
Thank you.
This should be in every kids health class.
It may help both genders understand and accept that bodies are both literally and figuratively fluid.
No genders are biological, they aren't fluid they are dependent on chromosomes. Women XX chromosomes men XY chromosomes. Kids shouldn't be taught these delusional ideals when they are very susceptible to fake information, they should be able to make their own choices.
But how does weight gain from periods apply to any gender other than female? :s
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.
Wow people are so triggered and one-track minded. I can’t believe they thought you were talking about gender fluidity 🤦🏻♀️ that’s embarrassing
@@samanthabarron8481 fr 😭😭 female isn't a gender either it's a sex
Even with the bloating your still body goals!
Face symmetry changes as well ! Which happens to me too, I knew I physically looked different whenever I’m on my period ( or days leading up to my period)
you have no idea how much i needed this, the youtube algorithm be saving lives fr !! i know this is normal and i remember it happening to my body before but it feels so wrong to the point i want my period to start rn so i can see that it's the reason behind all of that.
Our bodies fluctuate with our cycles so much so that as a singer we are taught to try to schedule performances around our periods becuase our vocal chords retain water and we will struggle to sing as well/as long slightly before and during our periods. It’s very true and was so validating once I learned that!
@@katriellamusic1372 holy that's crazy
I relate!❤
THANK YOU!! My period bloating makes me so self conscious, and your content has really helped me see myself in a better light 🥰
This made me feel so much better about my cycle bloating! Thank you for spreading body positivity ♥️
Thank you💜 it’s lovely to see young women embracing themselves instead of shaming themselves. Being a woman is so amazing 💜
I needed this soooo bad, thank you!!!
After losing myself to chronic pain and gaining some weight, I’m back on the calorie deficit to lose some fat. One month in, it was smooth sailing - until the time of the month approached and I gained 4lbs.
Honestly thought my deficit wasn’t working and felt super down
Thank you for reminding us this is normal 💛💛💛
😣😣😣Being a girl and even having to deal with a period must be so restricting 💖Goodluck queens
Simp
Thanks😊 It really depends from woman to woman, for some it is absolutely horrible and crippling, just as bad as a chronic illness, and for some it hardly affects them. I'm so glad that my period is pretty manageable and light.
Thank you so much ❤ my periods are usually very bad 😞. Last time I was hurting so bad I didn't know what position to take to ease the pain. Did I have to lay down, sit or just walk around? Whatever I did made it so much worse. In addition, the pain even radiated to my legs, which is why I couldn't really walk. So usually when I'm on my period I can't really do anything for a day (or two). However, I am still forced to try to do everything such as work, school and helping with housework. It's insane 😢
@@user-ot7gy2wc1law, try laying on your side with your knees up, almost fetal position, but a little less tight.
Take an Advil,or any NSAID, because that kind is less likely to cause internal bleeding, you shouldn't be in pain, maybe just taking medicine may be what you need to feel a bit better.
wear like period underwear with a nighttime pad (if heavy bleeding), so maybe you can rest through a full night's sleep
Drink water, too, make yourself drink extra water before and during.
Be well!
Yep happens to me also. But a few weeks ago i was eating dinner with a friend and i was getting my period and she sayed you could lose some more weight.... But i already lost 12 kg and i a feel good the way i am now... People should stop saying mean things like that to each other...
Not a very nice friend im sorry 😔
@@lydiaw4681 True, i am not going to see her anymore.
@@girlgamer1986 good ☺️
From my experience, stay away from people (males and females) like your so called friend
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.
trueeeeeee I always look like I weight +5 kilos because of my menstruation cycle, no matter if I eat the same amount of food or workout as usual, the next day my stomach can be flat and all my extra folds magically disappear xd so I am trying to accept this and dont bother myself
So truee! Me too!
Same sometimes it changes every morning one day it’s flat one day it’s normal
Sometimes it's just mostly water... It goes away normally when menstruation is over. I measured and it's always +kg in this days
I'm so glad videos like these are coming around more!! you're helping so many people feel more confident and comfortable in their bodies ♡♡ thank you
So true. Currently am on my period lol, however I stopped being harsh on myself diet-wise.. I used to avoid eating anything sweet which made me focus on it even more and it always turned around much worse on me, as I would just binge eat anything sweet and in big amounts:/ Nowadays whenever I crave something sweet, I have 1 or 2 and never feel guilty about it cuz I work out consistently now
So wholesome. Thank you for your willingness to be vulnerable to help other women.
This is something I desperately wish I could've seen sooner. I always feel so fat and disgusted with myself during my period, I'm still struggling to feel better about it but it's a process. And this definitely helped me embrace my pudge a little more at least, thank you so much Bree! ❤❤❤
You’re such a beautiful “I don’t just mean your look, I mean everything”
She's so hot though
I didn't notice any bloating her body was so toned and tiny!😁 She's very pretty but has a glow about her agree with you..Suspect she is a kind person to.🌺
How uplifting and inspiring you are ❤
Yeah a week before I get my period, my chest hurts, tightens and my tummy shows way more.
Thank you for making this - it makes me feel so much better about my body. The little extra “fat” when I’m getting closer to my period isn’t bad. It just means my body is working as it should
Thank you for taking the time to document this! The bloating is real and can be entirely depressing when I don’t remember I’m about to begin my cycle.
We desperately need content like yours.
It's amazing how much it changes. I can fluctuate whole pant sizes if my period is near :(
Endometriosis makes me bloated off my period, and beyond bloated during. So glad to see someone finally being real! Thank you
I don't even get my period anymore (thanks to taking birth control) but endometriosis 100% makes me bloat at ANY time. These last couple days it's been flaring up...I feel like I'm gonna pop.
Sometimes it's super mild, other times it feels like I'm going to split open. it's super uncomfortable, but I'm happy to see people normalizing it in general.
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.
I usually bloat like a toad😅😅😅😂😂😂 happy to know I ain't alone.
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
❤ thank you for these honest real life videos. You’re one of the few that actually shows all the “imperfections” we all have and things we go thru with out bodies.
Thankfully not me, I have never that happen to me
On my period I wouldn’t be able to smile through all the pain it puts me through. On my period rn actually and I’m on the verge of tears
Same. But my pain isn’t that bad that I can’t smile but I do bleed a LOT. It really annoys me especially at school (I'm 11). It’s not as annoying as urs but I have really bad mood swings.
@@zarah.3929 I’m nearly the same age as you, and the period I’m on is indeed my first one, and I’m already so over it.
@@p1nk-gutzz yea it sucks… I started at nearly 10 (a few months younger). Damn, the worst thing is is that your first one is probably the best it gets. My first one was actually really light, now I bleed so much I'm on my 4th day right now and still bleeding as if I'm on my second lol.
Remember to take care of urself, go for a walk, drink loads of water, take iron supplements- we loose a LOT of iron on our period.
Same here! Feel better soon 😭
mine doesnt hurt that much like i have had it for almost three years but maybe experience? 🤷♀️
Definitely doesn't change how ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS you are... THAT'S FOR SURE!!!!😘🥰💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
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 ! 😘
Thank you dear, we really need more videos like yours to normalize fluctuations
“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 😭😭😭
I'm so sorry omg
That must be so terrible 😭😭😭
I got blessed with a cycle of around 35+ days
For now anyway
omg girl same😭 mines is around like 22-23 days🙄
That sounds awful mines 55 days sorry tho
I've been getting my periods after 18-19 days for past 4 months💀.
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 👏
Some women don't have any visible changes at all before during or after thei period.
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.
For some reason her spine seems to curve further and further as the time passes
Yeah, I agree. An anterior pelvis tilt pops your stomach out and makes it look bigger. I used to have the same problem. With better posture you look much thinner.
That's the first thing I noticed too. I got the impression that periods cause massive posture changes.
@@BC-wj8fxyeah, it happens to me! When I'm on my period my lower back hurts so much I can barely move, and tilting my hips a little helps with pain. I'm sure it's the case for a lot of women too.
That just happens because as the uterine lining keeps getting thicker and as the body keeps retaining more water in the abdominal cavity it is harder and harder to engage the core muscles to have a better posture.... This is why periods can cause low back pain. The fluid pools in the area. It's an inflammatory process... women go through a lot
@@normalperson397
You’re smiling in ALL pictures 🥹 That gives me so much peace
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.
How did I, as a man, not know about this? This is hopefully common knowledge and I’m just thick like brick.
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.
I didn't know it either man and I feel the same way.
Thank you so much I'm 16 years old and feel so bad when I get suddenly bloated, I didn't know it was part of the cycle. I was just feeling bad about it. Love u and again THANK YOU
Thank you for showing us your results. I’m 34 and am only now coming to terms with bloating while on my period.
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.
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.
TH-cam algorithms brought me here and to my surprise it was interesting. Kudos
Finally a normal male reply that isn’t sexist. Thank you
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 🩷🥹✨️
ur absolute correct. our bodies are amazing and do awsome things!
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. ⚘️
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
I have always been thin but I fluctuate about 3lbs every month sometimes as much as 5 but it always goes back down naturally.
Thank you women for what you go through to bare our children. Men, you need to treat women right.
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.
@@kellymabel3576oh madam got offended 🤪
Yeah, 5-6 lbs gains leading to the period is what I've been experience.
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
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.
Explain this to men! Women know this already.
That’s why she uploaded it to TH-cam, for males and females. Plus, not every woman knows it.
Thank you, bloating should really be normalized
I’m 140 lbs, I used to be closer to 150 but due to working out I’ve lost about 10 lbs🎉🎉🎉! I was pretty sad the past few days because as I am nearing my period I’ve gained 3 lbs or more. These videos help me see that for women…weight gain is perfectly normal and okay! Thank you for that
I’m about the same and looking to start a workout plan! Do you mind sharing yours?
@@katelynjoymoore5008 of course I can share!
So I follow a video that targets abs and I think toning legs so I’ll put the name of the video in here:
My abs+SMALLER waist ⌛️ HOURGLASS beginner workout routine 15 minutes no equipment
(The video was posted by OppServe)
I found it was a pretty good workout and while its short it’s pretty difficult at the beginning
Then I’d go on my treadmill for 30 minutes at 12 incline at 3.5 speed.
If you don’t have access to a treadmill or a gym with a treadmill you could always go on a brisk 30+ minute uphill walk that gets your heart rate up. There’s also many other alternatives to that treadmill workout like going for a 20+ minute run. Or just any type of high pace cardio should work.
I did those alternating throughout the week with a rest day on Sunday. Sometimes on Sunday I’d go for a light walk or play volleyball or something but you shouldn’t overdo it on your rest day.
I hope this helps!!! ❤️🫶
Omg this helps so much I was on my period and noticed I was bloating more than usual this helps so much!!!!
It’s the anterior pelvic tilt for me
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.
Love you girl your self love give us courage as well thank you for being vulnerable n true in the internet
Wow, this is amazing and weirdly reassuring thank you
Beautiful darling ♥️ There's nothing wrong with your little bloat, And weight gain! you're a natural woman and you look beautiful 😍 ❤❤❤
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
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!
I cried almost wept seeing this as a period having person. 😭
Love the body positivity!! 😍
Even though I know this, it's actually wild to see it! I was legit just recently giving myself a hard time and said out loud Mercedes your probably about to start your period, comes every month and I still forget about it. Love this video, and your smile through it all.
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.
This is amazing to see documented with a smile since I go through it every month with so many tears
I'm heading towards menopause which is another facet we women have to deal with, however I'm so happy to see a woman showing the physical affects of menstruation.
Dude...this made me feel so much better honestly...
I always feel fat af round the 2 weeks between "pms week before" and "week of".
I basically only have 2 weeks a month where i feel "like myself." So thanks for this reminder.
Im still me...its just my body doing what a female body does. Its normal and ok.❤
Love this thank you. I had a friend who said the feeling we get of bloating is just because we feel more sensitive in that area and/or from overeating but that it's not a real change our bodies go through. But for me it's DEFINITELY a real change. Hate when people say crap like that when they don't really know just because they don't go through the same things
OMG THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE WTF
The female body is the most crazy and beautiful work of nature
Thanks sis, for taking the time lol
Really needed this today. I have a trip in ten days, start my period in four. None of my cute vacation clothes fit right now and I've been so upset.
you’re always gorgeous and have a beautiful woman body so show off how your body works !
Well done sweetie!! This is the kind of happiness and contentment woman need to share with each other! YOU ROCK!!! Keep Smiling!
Oh wow. I can actually say that I've learnt something today. Thanks!
Im 31 and I grew up always wanting to be a size 0. And I’ve always fluctuated between a size 2-4 but mostly 2.
In my life now I’ve changed my diet for health reasons so no dairy gluten sugar etc no more processed or junk food take outs we only eat at restaurants once a week and I exercise 4 times a week with a trainer.
Ironically, now when I don’t want it I’m close to a size 0 my sizes 2s don’t fit and honestly I wish to gain that weight again hopefully with muscle . Having said that I’m just grateful that I’m healthy and very happy in my life . I respect and honour my body as best I can it’s a gift.
And yes being skinny and having a flat tummy I’m just like this beautiful lady here my stomach juts out too and I have to suck it in sometimes
Sometimes I looked 10 months preggo
My partner is skinny too and he looks pregnant after eating too at times
We are all so beautiful in all shapes and sizes and with beautiful bellies and yet we are so much more that our bodies
Remember the world is designed so that we are unhappy so that we spend billions on changing our appearance and get sick to depend on big pharma
The greatest asset is health and love 🥰
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.
I wish people would make things the same for “before and after” like making sure your shorts arent pulled down a lil more for when you show a bloated stomach, because it kind of dramatizes it
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.
Absolute stunning smile
