terrible bloating
![Post Post](./styles/mcd/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
Hi,
I'm on day 4 of strict MWL. The first 3 days I experienced a little bloating -- but I read that bloating is fairly common during the first 2-3 days, so didn't worry about it.
However today the bloating/distention got really bad -- I checked the scales. I weighed 7.5 pounds more than this morning (usually my night weight is 2.5-3 pounds more than my a.m. weight). So that's 5 extra pounds.
Here's what I ate today:
B: 2 cups of homemade split pea soup
L: Salad greens topped with two portabello mushrooms and a cup of grapes
Snack: 1 cup of chili
D: 2 cups of homemade split pea soup and an apple
My question is did anyone else experience such bloating, and if so, how long did it take to go away? How did you stay motivated??? I'm really afraid I'm gaining weight on this program. Any advice or help would be very welcome.
Thanks, sanlee
