\"\"<\/a>I’ve talked before about bloat and dealing with it.\u00a0 It’s been a few months since I first brought it up and yes, it seems like the bloat is sticking with me.<\/p>\n

Joy.<\/p>\n

When I first started eating better and eliminating processed foods from my diet, I didn’t really suffer from bloat anymore.\u00a0 My PMS even toned down a notch.<\/p>\n

Now that I’m in a routine and my body has adjusted to my new lifestyle, the bloat has come back.\u00a0 You wouldn’t think it would but yeah, it’s here.<\/p>\n

I’ve got two kinds of bloat: PMS and Wine-induced.<\/p>\n

When it’s PMS related, there’s not much I can do about it.\u00a0 I already don’t take in a lot of salt and my water intake is high, but still the bloaty bellah is there.<\/p>\n

I’ve also noticed that I will be bloated the day following some wine.\u00a0 My wine amount is limited to two glasses, that’s all I can handle and all I want.\u00a0 Any more and I’ll feel like crap the next day.<\/p>\n

I’m too old for that shit, ya know?\u00a0 I’m also over it.\u00a0 I’m not going to have more wine just because <\/em>at the risk of feeling like crapola the next day.\u00a0 It’s not worth it to me!<\/p>\n

Wine bloat I can combat with lots more water and simple clean eats.\u00a0 Which is routine for me anyway.\u00a0 Since that’s bloat I’m technically bringing on myself, I don’t really complain internally about it.\u00a0 I’m not going to give up wine and since it’s not like I’m drinking an entire bottle of it, I’ll deal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>PMS bloat is a whole other issue.\u00a0 I feel like I can’t really combat it at all but just have to suck it up and wait for it to pass.<\/p>\n

Let me be clear that this is more about the way I feel than the way I look.<\/p>\n

When bloated, I’m about 5 pounds heavier.\u00a0 Five more pounds really isn’t a big deal. My clothes still fit and my pants are not tight.\u00a0 I don’t even look any different or at least I don’t think I do.<\/p>\n

It’s not external frustration, it’s internal.<\/p>\n

Because sometimes I feel like a hot bloated mess. I hate feeling like a hot bloated mess and I want to fight it.\u00a0 It makes me cranky.\u00a0 It can on occasion make me want to punch something.<\/p>\n

Most times it’s just really frustrating.\u00a0 I know it’s all a part of being female.\u00a0 I know it’s all a part of body mechanics and that is shows my hormones are working.\u00a0 Being in my 30s it’s actually a good thing to know that my hormones are still kicking like normal.<\/p>\n

But sometimes guys, kicking it Stay-Puft style for a week or more drives me a little bonkers.<\/p>\n

How do you all handle the Stay-Puft style?\u00a0 Any tips or tricks for handling it like a pro?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
