How to stop overeating while on your period because I have a good week but as soon as it’s my period I crave sugary sweet foods and just oily foods

this happen to me during my period. if your body is asking you to eat more, go for it, but with healthy choices and foods that help you feel good during your period.

some examples:

pineapple

nuts

carrot

fish

watermelon

eggs

banana

dark chocolate

and also tea: cinnamon, ginger, turmeric or rosemary

my favourite for these days is ginger.

and you can make something filling and nutritious with some of these foods. i would say:

toast with avocado and a fried egg or smoked salmon, add chia seeds on top for example.

a fruit salad with the aforementioned fruits.

a bowl with greek yoghurt, banana, oatmeal and dark chocolate.

you can also opt for a baked fish and a vegetable side dish.

and if you're hungry between meals, nuts and dried fruit are filling and have many benefits.

the point is not to stop eating but to learn to eat well and what your body is asking for. a nutritious meal will always fill you up and you won't need sugary or oily food.

and if you feel like eating "junk food" for a day, there is nothing wrong with that. it is positive to find a balance.

and remember to take care of yourself during your period days.

remember that i am not a specialist in this, it is what i usually eat and researched that it is good.

To everyone asking why you tag Palestine posts as feminism, let's talk about:

The 300% increase in miscarriages in Gaza

https://jezebel.com/miscarriages-in-gaza-have-increased-300-under-israeli-1851168680

Girls having to use tent scraps in place of period products

https://news.sky.com/story/women-and-girls-in-gaza-using-scraps-of-tent-material-in-place-of-period-products-13053083?dcmp=snt-sf-twitter

The NYT trying to frame female IOF playing murderers as girl power

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/19/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-women-soldiers.html

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Two of these articles are from today, the other is a couple days old.

I cannot emphasize enough how we need to keep talking about why this IS a feminist issue in so many ways -and I appreciate this -thank you for sending me this. I have spoken about this a lot on my page, and whenever anyone asks me I link them to some of the posts I have made or make direct references to these issues and more. It's definitely the tip of the iceberg, absolutely. What is happening to Palestinian people -and disproportionately Palestinian women and children is beyond horrendous. I also have yet to hear anything from all the major organizations I emailed about the lack of period care in Gaza. It's deplorable.

Here are some of the posts I made previously on this, with links to organizations that people can connect with to demand better access to period care for those who need it in Gaza, and also one of the organizations supporting right now:

92% of autistic AFAB people... But nah, it's a "female problem" so there's no point in looking into it more because AFAB bodies are just magically strange and can't be understood by medical science, and nobody cares about autistic people -- esp AFAB autistic people -- so more research into it and methods of treatment for it aren't necessary.

#every time i start my period i become fucking bedbound with negative spoons and tickets #but whooooo cares about autistic people #who cares about AFAB health issues #not our med system thats for sure #and thats not even getting into the connection between PMDD and EDS #and EDS and endo...#and EDS and autism...#STACKING COMORBIDITIES #RUINING AUTISTIC AFAB PEOPLE'S LIVES #AND NOBODY CAAAAARES #they just want us to die so we stop complaining and using up their exam rooms/hospital beds #ndr #not dog related #vent #rant #pmdd #actually autistic #actually adhd #actually audhd

By providing the proper care for women and those who menstruate, whether it traditional or modern, empower them with the confidence and support that they need!

Hello praying people, I'm not doing well and would really appreciate your prayers right now <3

#long very boring and unnecessarily detailed tag monologue incoming‚ feel free to skip:#this is going to sound like a silly thing to be hitting rock bottom over #but i’m fairly certain i have a semi-rare skin condition known as sensitive skin syndrome #which is basically where skin gets progressively more sensitive #until it won’t tolerate the topical application of anything at all without getting irritated #usually it happens to people on the skin of their face and i have it there but i also specifically have it on my lips #(which apparently is extremely not normal; i found a dermatologist’s case study from like 2019 of one woman who had it on her lips #and according to this case study there were no other cases of people having it on their lips #in all the dermatological literature he had read)#i can’t follow the protocol which all the journal articles i’ve been able to find say is helpful for the rest of the face which is basicall #leave the area the heck alone for at least a year #because if i don’t apply anything to my lips for more than two or three days they will get so dry they crack and bleed #so it’s looking like one way or another i may be having to deal with dry burning irritated lips for the rest of my life #and i’m not dealing with the thought of that very well #i’ve already suffered so much anguish from extreme sensitivity on the rest of my face #and not being able to take proper care of the skin there #and this is just too much for me #i know God is allowing this for a reason but it’s filling me with so much frustration and panic and despair that i don’t know how to go on #but i must and i will #this isn’t a serious or a life-threatening condition but it’s looking like a pretty hopeless one and it’s hurting me badly #and i would appreciate prayers that it would just be healed or that i would know what to do #i think i will try going to my dermatologist but somehow i doubt she's even heard of sensitive skin syndrome #on a COMPLETELY unrelated note i'm just about to get my period and also for two days i've ''eaten'' nothing but vegetable smoothies #and those in pretty small amounts because they're disgusting #(do a detox my hormonal health doctor said)#(it'll be fun she said)#ok if you read this far you're so brave braver than any u.s. marine etc.#thanks for reading ily <3

Thank fuck!!! I finally got sick of how bad my period pains were and asked for a prescription for something stronger than paracetamol & ibuprofen, light exercise and hot water bottles you generally get told to use. Can't wait to pick up that prescription on Friday as I'm currently laid up in bed, with my hot water bottle, after being extremely weepy all night. A cat died on tv, I cried. I thought about the wedding, I cried. Saw a video of a bird wearing little hats, I cried. Matt ordered me Thai food bc I was craving it 🥺

So needless to say I didn't manage to work out tonight which sucks. But Matt is getting up early tomorrow so I'm going to try to get up with him and do a little bit of something before work even if it's just yoga

Nothing else to report in my life lol. Had my first 1-1 meeting at work today and my manager said I'm doing well and can start working from home after the next 2 weeks in the office so by the end of March I should be fully trained and hybrid working 🥳

Hope everyone is well. I'm about to take more painkillers and try to sleep while my uterus is going utterly ape shit 🤘

#personal #period pain #nic is a big girl #i would have never even considered asking for stronger meds in the past lol but i'm so glad i did #fitblr #health #self care

I just emailed the United Nations Women's Office in Geneva, Amnesty International, Oxfam Canada, and Doctors Without Borders (MSF) about the lack of period care in Gaza. It is frustrating to see that international organizations have not set up a fund specifically to help Palestinian people who need this. Having one resource to help with this shortage, Motherbeing, is not enough for millions of people.

Period care is health care. I don't want anyone to tell me that emailing international organizations about this is either silly or not important because not having adequate access to this can cause serious health ramifications -from infections to illnesses and later reproductive health issues.

Pregnant women in Gaza are also continually suffering right now -of the thousands of women that were supposed to give birth over these past few months -they have not had safe and consistent access to care during their trimesters. I have spoken about this before -but we need to keep amplifying this issue as well.

Women's health in Gaza has been under under crisis for a while now, and we KNOW this is part of a zionist's larger agenda -to attack women and children especially because they see them as some of the greatest threats. So please do what you can -send those emails, call your representatives/MP's and demand a ceasefire. Demand more than adequate medical care -which includes period care -reach those in Gaza who need it.

Original post where Hind Khoudary is reporting:

To say I'm bitter-sweetly fortunate my TL has been full of feminists talking about Palestine -while at the same time I have seen a plethora publicly turn away, ignore, or remain silent on it because of money or greed or worry about their social or financial capital (celebrities and 'influencers' -we know who you are) -I'm just embarrassed for them.

When I first started my journey into feminism as a first year well over a decade ago (and as someone who used to be ignorant about so many things until I started my process of learning/unlearning/educating myself) -I am resoundingly grateful for that beginning. Being able dig into intersectional theory, listening to activists from all around the world about their struggles, passions, and efforts to liberation -and I still continue to do so.

Reading about the importance of decolonization in tandem with dismantling the heteropatriarchal capitalist machine -I always know the importance of solidarity and ally ship as a result of years of study -because the power IS with the people -and our voices do matter -the system, time and again, wants you to believe you don't. And for those feminists who aren't using their platforms or voices to encourage and demand a ceasefire -or any and all ends of systemic oppression -you have blood on your hands. Feminist and women's movements aren't meant to be something you cherry pick.

So do the bare minimum, or don't call yourselves feminists.

I also don't have a 'template' per-say, since I just wrote them out individually and edited them, but if anyone wants to me post something generic so they can make their own to send to these organizations please let me know.

well at least now I have proof my mom isn't a homphobe per se, but rather just the most repressed person alive

#ever the fool i thought it would be neat to tell her I'm excited about getting an IUD #and her response was like ''oh. 😐''#''do you understand what that is?'' NO I JUST WENT TO A FUCKING CONSULTATION WHERE IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME IN DETAIL BY A FUCKING DOCTOR.#not to MENTION it should be obvious that I'd be stoked to not have a period #she's like ''well I'm just shocked''#''that I'd be taking care of my health?'' ''well no. but just that you'd need one.''#breaking fucking news - 31 year old adult is sexually active. dozens killed hundreds wounded.#i see now. she just hates the idea that i would have sex EVER #this s why i don't feel like i can fucking tell my parents anything ever. I'll be made to feel like garbage over it no matter what it is.

kitty care tips <3

Dark Chocolate

Dark Chocolate helps improve blood circulation and fight off any infection. Its also rich in magnesium, which helps relax the muscles and help ease cramps.

vitamin C

Helps reduce growth of bacteria that causes BV and lowers vaginal PH.

cotton Underwear

Cotton is naturally breathable and gentle on the skin. Its able to absorb excess moisture and removes the build up of heat from your vagina to prevent odour. Wearing 100 percent cotton underwear can prevent infection and itching.

Omega 3

Taking Omega 3 supplements can protect conditions such as menstrual pain and helps with hormone health.

Current mood...

🩸 Did you know severe stress can delay your period? When you're feeling really stressed or anxious, your body might delay your period as sort of a "I can't deal with this right now" response. However this sometimes backfires as anyone who menstruates knows, a late period can cause more alarm and stress!

🩸 An occasional late period is normal, but if your period is more than a week late it might be time to take a pregnancy test.

🩸 If you frequently have late or irregular periods, please see a medical professional

Not to imply the real life effects of executive dysfunction and disability, but for folks who get their period and use pads!!

Idk if there are other brands similar to this one, but I've found that the herbal honey pot pads have been very helpful in motivation to change pads in a more timely manner. I associate the minty cool feeling with cleanliness and and it's also a physical sensation that isn't Discomfort comes with changing, so it feels Fresh and like I've Done Something Good For Myself :)

shout out to the people who can never have kids physically because their physical and mental health issues combined alone would put them at risk of serious harm or death if not on the right amount of pills at the right time, you guys are the real ones

#watching a the queer kiwi video about babylon bee's very unfunny shorts and like. the childless one is fucking awful #i don't want kids in the first place first of all #(not because i hate kids but because i doubt my ability to take care of any life more complex than a dog)#and second of all i literally have epilepsy so bad that i probably would die if i was off my medications #because my epilepsy is PARTIALLY TRIGGERED BY HORMONAL CHANGES #like if i have seizures if i'm on my period i will probably have seizures when i'm pregnant and that's uh. bad!#like my hypothetical baby would die of brain damage bad #like do conservatives WANT to be pro life or not because seizures + pregnant = dead baby #ableism for ts #actuallydisabled #actuallyepileptic #actuallypsychotic #actuallyautistic #actuallyocd #actuallyadhd #actuallyborderline #(because yeah without those mental health medications i'd probably die of suicide which. ALSO results in a dead baby)#again. why do they call themselves pro life if pregnancy for me would either result in brain death or suicide #(and pregnancy for people who had late onset epilepsy as bad as me and mental illnesses as bad as me)
