Waking up every morning and seeing your weighing scale tip to the right even after you eat healthily, put in the work, and lead a healthy life is dejecting, to say the least. 

You know your period is around the corner, and suddenly your life seems like the most gruesome horror movie. We understand. Most of us have probably gone through countless painful period days with a smile plastered on our faces, just suffering and waiting for the agony to end.
