instant fluctuations in tummy size n collar bones

So, it's called bloating. It can be made worse by certain foods if you have a sensitivity/allergy to them (like gluten or dairy) or by eating a lot of sodium. Honestly, though, eat anything and your stomach will look a bit different; where exactly do you think the food goes...? The average person puts on 3-5lbs during the day from food, water, waste etc. And all of that tends to happen in the belly area.

Collarbones, likely lighting based. As in, you see them sometimes when the light is overhead, but not necessarily with natural (sunshine) lighting or so on.

Also, neither of these are really things to look like you're potentially having a minor melt down over, which I'm forced to assume you are because your spelling and grammar are atrocious there, and I'm really attempting to give you the benefit of the doubt that you really are 25 and understand basic bodily functions.

Do you see TV celebs when they're at home on the couch after a meal? Nope. They have lots of people who get paid to make sure they don't look bloated. Basing how you want to look all day every day on the way they look when you see them on TV is a recipe for nothing but misery.

you tummy pops out due to food in it.

collar bones due to lighting.

Is it normal?? And lighting?? I didn't get that.. I have seen people with consistent appearance of collar bones.but why not with me

Yes, it's normal that your stomach expands when food is in it, just like a balloon will expand when you add water. That is why most people look their best in the morning before food. The whole collar thing is due to lighting and genetics. Some people just lose weight around that area. It's all about genetics. You can't beat it.

Perhaps I made it clear.. no rude comments . But you skipped it I guess. And you are talking in your mother tongue. English is not my mother tongue. Please don't humiliate someone because of their language or grammatical errors. The only point is the message should be clear. M 25 yes. Any doubt ? Judging my whole personality and everything on basis of how I put my query here with some grammatical errors...??
Anyways thanks for your valuable reply. If u think the person putting query is not rational enough please ignore but do no try to be judgemental. And as far as I know. This app is to maintain fitness , they didn't put any condition that a person should be excellent in English n grammer before joining this app.
Thanks

I apologize if you were offended; if you read the first two paragraphs of my initial reply, it perfectly answers your question.

Everyone's body changes, especially their tummy area, throughout the day as they eat food, drink water, and produce waste. There isn't a single person immune to that. Anyone you're seeing that you think looks perfect either hasn't eaten that day, is under very carefully positioned lights etc on TV, or is only in your mind perfect because (like all of us) you have body image issues. We're always our toughest critics. Having a low body fat percentage can make you look less bloated, but even fitness models don't look perfect after a hamburger (or a smoothie, or anything).

What we're trying to point out is that you've chosen to fixate and stress about something entirely not within your control. My comment wasn't rude, I was just pointing out that as an adult; you know better. You know your body digests food; you know that it doesn't magically poof into thin air when you swallow it, so therefore you logically know why your stomach looks bigger. Again, you can look at the foods that do it to you the worst and avoid those (maybe you have a gluten or dairy sensitivity, maybe you're just someone who bloats easily) but beyond that, you're stuck with the hand life dealt you.

Also, the collarbones, could just be a genetic thing for you; not everyone's are clearly visible all the time, especially if their body fat is still higher than ideal. Your ticker shows you're still looking to lose weight; chances are they may be more visible (And your tummy more flat) at your goal.

Focus on your goals, have realistic expectations of yourself and your body, and you'll save yourself a whole lot of unnecessary stress.

Yup..that's true...depends on posture a lot. But some people , no matter how they stand or sit..their collar bones appear in same way.. may be one needs to be too thin for that.. any remedies for tummy to get back to shape intact ...after meals ??

My collar bones are always on display. I carry very little of my fat on my shoulders and arms. It is genetic. It is not a sign of health or fitness and not really something that you can diet or exercise you way to. Also, people in the media (on tv, movies, magazines) are supposed to look better than they do normally, that is their job. Actresses on the red carpet probably don't eat before hand so that they look perfect in their dresses. This isn't something to aspire to. Bodies change over the course of the day, that's good it means that we are adaptable.

One thing to think about is over-evaluating yourself. Don't look too hard at yourself in the mirror. No one else is looking at you in so much detail when you are out and about. we are all our own worst critic, but you seem to be taking that to the next level. Even people with perfectly flat tummies get a little pooch now and then; it's caused by diet, hormones, and many other things. Celebrities have these things happen to them too; this is why they all wear Spanx under their clothes when they do interviews (because God forbid we all embrace what we just look like).
Just learn to love yourself as you are, dear, and stop starting at each individual part of yourself. Look at the whole picture and see the beautiful young woman you are.
