Don't you hate when

when it's almost time for Flo to show up and she sends extra baggage that sits right on your waist???I felt positively svelte a few days ago(ok, not really) and now I feel like a blimp.It didn't help that my sister and I had lunch together today and she said "have you gained weight??"Said she meant it in a good way.I didn't know there was a good way!!!!I was talking to a friend earlier today and she said she was feeling the same way.
So I was wondering for some of you guys who have lost some weight are you having fewer problems with Flo?Has it made a difference?
Still a rainy yucky day here.DS is off today because of the rain so I'm blaming him for me not getting anything done :) There's a weird noise coming from his room.It's either his deer call or bambi has joined the family.

Just cracking wise. I'm a dumb city girl who knows about deer strictly from cartoons. I didn't realize deer had calls that hunters could imitate - I thought they scurried away at most sounds.
Re AF and weight loss - The usual symptom I'm going to be looking for is that violent nauseating headache I get on the 2nd/3rd full day of her visit; another one in the past has been pain in my elbows that I attributed to water retention, although my BP pill is a diuretic and has pretty much eliminated that as a problem. If the headache doesn't show up this time around, there might be something to do with the weight loss. Except for my avoiding high-glycemic index foods, I'm not doing anything different. Bloating around the middle hasn't been a typical reaction to AF's visits at my house even before the diuretic.
I'm so sorry your sister blurted that out. Meaning it in a good way can only be if you've been trying to gain weight after being sick or something. I'm sure she didn't mean to hurt your feelings, but sometimes people just don't think; one or the other of my feet have found their way into my mouth on many occasions.
Have a better afternoon, dear!

Oh, my sister didn't hurt my feelings.Heck I didn't post what I said to her before that;)
But it was very weird to have someone be so blunt about my weight, made me very self concious. So much so that I never even thought about ordering pie!!!
Really hope you don't get that headache this month.

I ordered some vitamins for women and plan to really drink(water) and watch my diet to see if I can't outsmart Aunt Flo.

Since the first mention of it several weeks ago, suddenly, corduroy is everywhere! Very comfy.

Aunt Flo has been so wild and unpredictable around here since August that I never know what to expect any more. I just know I've stocked up on every kind of protection possible for the next round after the time I had last month.
I've gotten thicker around the middle the last 18 months or so, which I think is due to hormone changes. When I stayed on the South Beach Diet a lot of that bloating went down. I'm somewhere in between on my new Candy Beach Diet. When Flo's around, I tend to look as though I swallowed a canteloupe. It's not pretty...

I can't imagine your sister meaning her comment in any other way.
