Swelling... Please Let It Be Swelling

Scale was up this morning, 3.5 pounds since Sunday. Also, I'm starving this morning. WTF?

Sadly, I think the olives may be the culprit. Couldn't get my engagement ring on yesterday; couldn't get wedding or engagement on today.

This is totally because of water retention, right? PLEASE SAY YES.

  2. Absofreakinlutely...happens to me all the time. I've been wearing band sans diamond ring for months now. Lay off the salt for a while and you'll be fine.

  3. Yeah, you may need to step away from the olives. I have been eating tuna like crazy and haven't lost any weight in days... I am sure it is salt. I must take my own advice!

  4. YES water retention. Drink a ton of water or watered down sugar free cranberry juice today, even better.

  5. Good god Kristin! Are you pregnant? That's the only time I get THAT swollen! I have to say, since the band, I am incredibly sensitive to salt.

    I think you should KEEP eating the olives! Until Sunday weigh in, at least! ;)

  9. Iced tea or water with lots of lemons squeezed in helps to get the swelling out for me.. your hand looks painfully swollen! I'm sorry...

  10. Kristin, hot lemon water always knocked out the water weight for me.. or eat steamed asparagus.. that is supposed to be a natural diuretic... hope you feel better.. hugs to you.
