I had a cheat spree for I'm going to say a good 4 days... I have been neglecting water as well for those days. I've been doing so well since march 2014... I lost 16 pounds since then, and have been really doing good.

However, those cheat days were filled with all types of fast food and sweets.... I can't even remember. I lost control and it's really all emotional eating.


Anyhow, since yesterday my stomach, waist and hips has been swollen and bloated. Also, I've been having a lot of gas and moving bowels (disgusting) today... I just want to know if anyone ever had this and how did they recover. I am on my 4th bottle of water.... plus I had low sodium today, I didn't abuse it and I watched what I ate. The scale hasn't changed at all... it still says 147 -149... It's just that when I feel around my waist, my hips, my pelvic area, sides and stomach... it's all tight, swollen and bulging.

How to recover fast?

    if your bodies not used to that much food anymore or those types of foods it will be swollen and bloated for about a week. just start eating heatlhy and keep drinking lots of water, it will get back to normal, i've been there you will just feel fat for a few days even though your not.

    Just... eat normally again, drink water, and drop freaking out over it. I've been retaining water for the last few days because I was eating pretty high-sodium for a while and dehydrated. Bit it all clears up over time.

    Take a tablespoon or 2 of apple cider vinegar and drink water.

    Calm down! You're fine. You probably just loaded your body with enough sodium to create a small ocean (I've had a few salty binges before too) and it's gonna take time and a lot of water to get you back to normal.

    I know for me at least, even just my normal TOM causes a week of "I feel fat" bloating. And that's without a lot of extra food + too little water. It always goes back to normal, and so will you. Drink drink drink, eat well and continue on as normal.

    If you ate a lot of greasy stuff it might get ugly for a day or two in the bathroom too. Hang in there. You'll make it out alive and shrink back down.
