Even if you’re lean… Even if you can see your abs… Even if you “look fit”… ✨ It is completely normal for your weight to fluctuate 2–5+ lbs throughout your menstrual cycle. That’s not fat gain — that’s hormones, water retention, digestion, and inflammation doing their thing. And yes… ➡️ You can have visible abs and still have skin to grab ➡️ You can be strong and bloated ➡️ You can be healthy and fluctuate week to week Social media rarely shows: • hormone shifts • relaxed posture • normal skin & softness • unposed bodies • real-life lighting So don’t compare your real body to someone else’s highlight reel. Be kind to your body. Respect your cycle. And stop letting a scale or a posed photo decide your worth. 🤍 #FitnessReality #HormoneHealth #FemaleFitness
