Why does my stomach look bloated suddenly?

So yesterday night when I looked in the mirror I could see my waist and my stomach did have a bulge but it wasn't that bad. Like, it was okay. But today, when I looked at myself a few hours after breakfast, I could barely see my waist and my stomach was protruding like crazy. I was not wearing tight pants or anything. For breakfast I had coffee and 2 wafers. So....sorry for the stupid question, but WHAT HAPPENED? :(

    Water retention, you need to poop, TOM coming, foods that can cause bloat, food intolerance, or just one of those things...

    I am a chronic bloater! By the end of the day, I definitely look pregnant. Wish I had a solution for you...:(

    Sometimes I stay bloated for a week after my period... true story. I am certain if you are exercising and eating good, the belly will disappear. Either that or your belly is fine and you are being too hard on yourself!

    ah, food babies...a big meal can put my stomach into second trimester territory! they are temporary and do go away (unlike real babies).

    also, what everyone else said about water retention, needing to poop, general bloat...our bodies have fluctuations. don't stress about them too much.
