So I was JUST about to storm onto 3FC and complain that somehow, my stomach's been bloated up, yet the scale hasn't budged at all. Looking down at my stomach right now, it looks huge to me! Much bigger than it's been!
So I ripped out my tape measure, because I wanted solid proof that I've gained inches but not pounds, and tapered it around my waist (well, technically, around my bellybutton. That's where I typically measure). The number read 32. Thirty-two, I shouted in anger! Turning over chairs and pushing things off shelves, I pounded over to my computer and opened up my measurements chart, convinced that I haven't been 32" around my stomach since I was in the 150s.
Lo and behold, on my chart, the lowest my stomach's ever been, has been 32.25" (at 132lbs).
........
So WHY do I feel so huge then? Why's my stomach feel like it's going to burst? How come I've been able to look in the mirror and feel thin, but these last few days... I feel like I've gained a hump on my front?
My diet's changed dramatically. I'm eating a lot more now. I'm also exercising a LOAD more. And I've been on TOM this past week. I could understand gaining water weight. But the scale and the tape measure are saying that's not happening. It's so weird.
