## Caption

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. 🤍
