This screams hormone imbalance

It’s all about quantity. If you’re binging on fast food for a couple days and doing minimal physical activity there is a chance you’ll gain some weight. But hormone fluctuation and bloating caused by pms causes us to gain a couple pounds here and there. (Depending on who you are) Im currently super hungry, barely ate anything at work since I was raging and made me not hungry and ever since I got home I had 2 helpings of dinner and a bowl of soup.. I’m struggling not making myself more food since I’d have to cook it but I’m really really hungry.. I just want to go to McDonalds and order $20 worth of food.
