Sudden belly fat gain?

mariams99

So about 4 days ago I woke up to find that I had gained 1 kg overnight and my stomach was significantly larger than the day before, with no changes to my exercise or diet. For the next few days my weight fluctuated between +1 kg and +2 kg until today when it returned back to normal. However my stomach is still bigger than it used to be; in fact I think it's growing. :sad: I don't know if it's bloat or fat but I think bloating would have gone by now. I've noticed the bloating/fat is in my lower belly, especially below the belly button where there didn't used to be much fat.

I think my period should be coming soon but lately I've been missing periods, and even so I never bloat on my period, and never this bad. What could this be?! :sad:

I had this 2 weeks ago, it was high sodium food for the week.....? Just bloat, plus with your time of month coming you can bloat even if you never noticed or did before. Gaining 1 kg of fat would be over 7,000 calories above maintenance, even the worse estimator couldn't log that wrong.....so not fat :flowerforyou:

Your body will naturally fluctuate 2 to 3 kilos a day anyway so that is perfectly normal. Your post I'm afraid reads to me more like a body image issue which maybe needs addressing. Good luck and I hope you find the help.

Failing that its just normal fluctuations.

Unless I've had intercourse without my knowing within the last couple months then it isnt that, lol.

That is an issue for me I admit, but I can see a definite difference!
