Whenever i eat my belly expands ---- is this something that will go away in time with exercise and weight training? I am 5'8" and 125lbs and have been that way for the last few years. However, whenever I eat anything (or even drink a lot of water!) my belly expands which is embarrassing, especially when I am in a bathing suit.

Is this something that will go away after doing cardio and strength training on a regular basis? I just feel so silly to ask anyone in person.....

    You are very thin for your height and the bloating your are experiencing could be due to the amount of food you eat at one time, or simply a reaction to the foods you are eating. If you brace your abs do you find you still have a distended stomach?

    I don't eat a ton of food in one sitting - for instance, I just ate a packet of oatmeal and drank 24oz of water and now my stomach is expanded. When I brace my abs it does go down to just the pooch on my lower stomach - so do you think I just need to build up my ab muscles?
