Question

Ugghh today is my first gain (. 8 ) since January. I knew I slacked a bit this week and I exercised every day to try and balance it out. My sweet cravings were out of control and I was starving every day. I thought maybe I was finally starting my cycle after 2 months of not getting it normally but it would start then stop in a day. Frustrating. I feel bloated. I can see I’m bloated. I have noticed my hormones are out of whack and I’m starting perimenopause. Any tips on what I can do for this? I’m on . I’m down 31 lbs so far. Any advise and help would be greatly appreciated.
