BLOATED BELLY

[Lotus]

Hi everyone

34 days AF so far. I do feel much much better, but I'm not too happy with the weight issue.

I know I have been compensating alcohol with chocolate, so although I haven't lost anything, I haven't gained anything either. Food wise I am generally healthy eater. Initially when I joined MWO I said that I have gained a "Buddha belly" and had been mistaken for being pregnant.

However, I haven't lost it at all. I thought, some of the bloating would have gone, but it hasn't. Do you think I just need to be patient or is there anything I can do? My friend has said to me no amount of sit-ups will help as I need to shed the fat on top first. I'm doing a calorie controlled diet.

Hi Mandy,

Me too on the belly and weight issue. But whoa, let's first give ourselves credit again for achieving AF. I'll wager we will both achieve success with our body image if we give it a chance and be patient.
