Puttin' on the bloat

Can I just say? WTF?! I am feeling NASTY bloated since this afternoon.

my belly, my arms, everything feels thick and heavy and sluggish. I've been reading threads on here for the past hour or so about water retention and stuff i can take/do to reduce it, and I think I'm about to take a walk over to walgreens to find some kind of remedy.

Ugh... I feel DISGUSTING. Every time I breathe in, i feel like the breath of air is not going to fit in my body. The only thing I've eaten today that wasn't really "clean" was that fat free cool whip with my apple sauce (which was a mighty nasty combination by the way).

I've also drank a hell of a lot of water, about 10 oz. of coffee, and had just one serving of broccoli today so far. I can't think of what one thing might be causing this bloat, so I'm assuming it's part of my body's pre-menstrual hijinks.

:barf:
 
Oh and...

Perhaps I should stop watching the food network when they have back-to-back, hour-upon-hour shows about cookies, pies and ice cream.

Food Network=THE DEVIL.
 
Drink lotsa water-i find that works best for me when I bloat.:)

In October of last year, I was at 26%, that was before the pilates, before anything.

In May of this year, I was at 22%, after doing pilates for a while, and eating less bad food but still eating crappy.

In late july of this year, 19.9%, after some light weight training and further cleaning up of my diet.

Four weeks ago 15.1% after getting serious and strict with myself.

Gonna go check out that recipe now. Just got back from walgreens. Bought aqua ban and diurex, just in case one doesn't work (aqua ban is caffeine free).
 
Don't worry about PMS bloat, I know how you feel, I gain about 5 to 8 lbs of water every month when I have PMS and grow out of my bra, HOW NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sometimes use a product called Water Tight, you can get it at GNC, I find it helps:thumb:
 
WE ALL BLOAT at this time! :cry: It sucks! I am feeling like a whale today!!! :cry: :cry:

YAY! Thanks! Actually tomorrow is officially Day 1 of Week 9, so I should measure tomorrow before my workout. Can't wait... not so much for the weight, but for the BF measurement. I want to see that percentage number keep dropping! :rocker:
 
and it's only Monday...

Blaarrrgghhh!

So at 930, I took my little cup of broccoli over to the microwave, seasoned it and nuked it. Brought it back to my desk and started eating, and like clockwork, people started coming by to "inspect" my food and make comments, offer up anecdotes and just generally annoy the hell out of me. By the time the fifth person popped into my cubicle, all I could do was give them the stink eye.

WHY CAN'T EVERYONE JUST BACK THE F*CK UP ALREADY AND LEAVE ME ALONE WITH MY BROCCOLI?!

I feel like an animal at the zoo, with people observing and commenting on my eating habits.
 
Morning babe. I'd say something cute in Spanglish, but any attempts I usually make in that direction result in unintentional insults. Ahh, what the fuck, I'll give it a shot.......Tu perro es mi amor!! (I think it mean "you look lovely".)

Oh, and don't feel too bad about the people calling you skinny, it comes with the territory. I still get that sometimes, and I can no longer squeeze my shoulders into a size Large. :shrug:

P.S. Exactly what kind of dancing did you do at that party (and with whom?) ;)

When people come up to your desk just stand up on your desk and really loudly say "Boink!" or something really stupid. First of all when people ask why you can tell them that it's because people won't leave you alone with your food. Secondly it will put a lighthearted spin on things for you and make you laugh because you'll actually look forward to people coming to your desk so you can stand up and yell "Boink!" Less stress.
:D

Hey Ivy, boy what a day today. I have been trying to read today and have gotten nowhere. I finally got to yours......
So you feel like a caged animal in the zoo ah? Try weighing 250 pounds. That's when you are really a spectacle...
People not only come by to look at what the hell you are eating, but also give you pointers in what you should eat. Some of them are fat.....Cono...
They ask you if you should be eating this or that, or maybe you should not eat that, it has carbs.
WTF do they care what I eat or what I don't eat? Don't they understand that I am working out and need to eat carbs? Carajo que manera de joder (pardon the spanish curses) :mad:

I've always believed in limiting the amount of boinking you do on the job. Plus, wouldn't Ivy get exhausted if she had to boink every person who comes up to her. And what if they're fat or ugly or something? And where does she work again? :D

Hahhahhahah, buddy I guess nosy office coworkers don't discriminate! They annoy everyone equally!

The "carb counting experts" - hahaha! Have you heard that Bud Light Real Men of Genius about the carb counter? There are so many people in my office obsessed with counting carbs. You should hear these conversations. Oh wait, they're probably the same conversations going on in YOUR office! haha! "que manera de joder" is right. They all think they're experts and they know more than us. You should see the heart attack this one lady has whenever she sees me with my baked sweet potato. "BUT THAT HAS SO MANY CARBS! How can you eat that!"

Hang in there Tony, and stick to your goal. You'll show them all. :rocker:

Ahora - a mimir... good night all!
 
I just realized the first funny noise I thought of was boink. Must be some kind of Freudian slip. :lick:
