I have been feeling very good about myself lately and then all of a sudden yesterday I just felt FAT. My clothes didn't feel as loose and and my energy dropped. Not my TOM. Haven't gained. Haven't ate poorly. Drinking my water. So what gives??!

    I think we all have those blah days. I'm actually having one of those days today, but it's more tired than bloated.

    Perhaps you've been having a lot of salt lately and it's just water retention? You can try cutting out more salt from your diet. How much water do you drink a day?

    Over Memorial Day weekend, I stuck to my calories despite being out of town. however, when I got home, the scale reflected almost 5 lb gain in just a few days. I couldn't believe it considering I had biked 26 miles, played a round of 18 hole golf and walked walked walked. I started guzzling the water and within 24 hours, I had shed almost all of it. Lesson: SALT IS BAD! Even though I had stayed well wtihin my calorie goals, I still retained TONS OF WATER from the high levels of sodium.

    My advice: get your body moving (the endorphins will improve your mood) and start chugging that water! I bet you'll feel much better in the morning after a good night's rest.

    Probably just an off day or something. I have them too. Tomorrow you will probably feel like sunshine. :bigsmile:

    More than likely it's bloating due to too many carbs and sodium. I can't view your diary so I don't know that for sure.

    I have to agree, it's probably a water/sodium correlation.
