Less calories, feel heavier?

Hi all,
I was maintaining on 1700-1900 for a while, and then experienced some stress in my life which caused me to drop my intake to around 1500-1700. I have checked my weight and while my weight has dropped maybe a pound I feel like I look a lot bigger. Any ideas on why?

It's normal for your weight to fluctuate throughout the day & during the week. Take photos & measurements, too.0
