i feel fatter?

lisasdoinit

so um..i'm trying, i really am.

but i'm feeling fatter. and my pants are tighter.

oddly, they are fitting better around my butt and legs, but my stomach..omg. My waist bands are uncomfortably tight, and all of a sudden my "upper belly" is huge. It's been like this for 3 days now.

i'm not constipated really...although i expected to be "going less" as my body holds on to every bite i give in in fear of being deprived again. But..anyone else feel bigger before they started feeling smaller? Or have these belly issues?

i'm not giving up I'm just wondering if this is common?

thanks!

Check out the stickie 'What to expect'- it's right on.

You're going to be holding onto glycogen, water, and yep- some food for a while. Some people it's a week- some a month of up and down. Give it time- you're doing the right thing
