Ok, this is a kinda lame question, but my stomach is flat except after I eat anything, my stomach totally sticks out. So, I can go to a restaurant in a cute dress cut to my body and then I eat and I look like a stick with a pea taped to the middle. Does anyone else experience this? I told you it was a dumb question, but it just annoys me.
 
*raises hand*

I start off in the morning with great abs, but as soon as I start eating... pooch city. It is annoying.
 
That's why you guys need to start out the day with a pooch, like me. If it pooches a little bit more, no one notices. Plus they are so in awe of my wide back porch they don't even notice my poochy belly.
 
Oh god yes. I am the pooch -n- bloat QUEEN after I eat. Sometimes just after a few bites, it's amazing I'm able to force down as much as I do :p

Can I share your bloat Queen crown Sparrow? I bloat and gain water after the first bite x(
 
That is SO funny! I am exactly the same way! I have to dress accordingly when I go anywhere because I know I won't look the same way after I have just a bite of something. I always look so good in the morning, but by nightime, I'm forced to put on sweats because of my after-dinner "pooch"!!!!
 
Me too!! Same problem.

This has often made me think about celebs and appearances/video filming, etc. It almost makes you think they either have to do an awful lot on a really empty stomach or they have their nutrition person put them on a special diet for several days before an event to get rid of bloating, pooching, etc. I've never seen a celebrity that has a "pooch" unless their pregnant and then they just look like me after I eat!!! LOL
 
Me too ... and one of my best friends used to be a pro ballet dancer - we used to call this the snake syndrome b/c we always looked like we'd swallowed our meals whole :)

I get that if I eat alot. I think almost everyone will get that at some point unless they ONLY ever eat very small amounts of food at one time....If there IS someone out there who can eat a good full meal and NOT get that, I want to meet them...so that I can shoot them!}( }( }(


LOL!

My DH is naturally very slender and even HE will get some form of a "gut" after eating enough! :)
 
Gosh! I totally hate it! I really dread eating at the beach cause you have that bathing suit on! But I have this trick,where I will lay all the way back in my lounge chair so my stomach looks all nice and flat!:p

I too feel like I've noticed actresses, reality tv people, whatever who seem to eat and don't look like they ate at all.

I remember when I was in my 20's and having a pool party, I would barely eat all day so I would look decent in my bikini. Sounds dumb now. All I need to do is a have a big glass of water and I look 4 months pregnant.
