Just curious and mad at the same time, Im a busy mom in the process of moving , I stopped working out recently and my tummy that was looking so nice is now "out" "bloated look" "loose skin look"
It's happened in the past , when i stop working out my tummy goes back to ugly

Don't stop working out then.0

Probably stored carbs that you're not burning off. Whenever I have carbs before bed I look bloated in the morning compared to fat and protein, shortly after an intense workout I look much less bloated again.0

Your abs maybe also not be as tensed since you're not working them. If you were always working them you may have subconsciously been keeping them tighter.0
