I've gained 4 lb literally overnight - and I know there's no way in hades I ate 14,000 calories worth of food. It's water weight. It comes & goes. Every ding-dang month. Still, it's hard to see it on the scale & not feel like a failure.
I try to limit my sodium intake during those times - even tho I'm in menopause now, I still have those few days per month where I'm manic-depressive, eat like a fiend, and generally hate the world.
So my advice is this: Eat as clean as you possibly can, drink plenty of fluids to help keep everything "flushed out" and just keep repeating the mantra... THIS TOO SHALL PASS.
