Body Issues

[xGreenling]

God, this time of the month sucks. Eat eat eat, salt salt salt, bloat bloat bloat. And I hold all that around the area which bothers me the most - my abdomen. I can't stand to look at myself.

I'm pathologically afraid that I look pregnant. I'm afraid that this swollen belly looks like... like the one, condemning, unequivocal thing that just screams 'woman.'

Hips are bad, boobs are bad, thighs are bad, arms are bad... Abdomen is complete and utter misery.

Cravings. The joyness of being female/not.

You almost certaintly are NOT as bloated as you think. Yeah, salty foods do have a bit of water-retaining properties, but an extra two pounds of water isn't obvious to anyone else.
that and the second you're off period you piss it off, literally
