Since I can remember I've always felt bloated. There's 2 days a month about a week before my period when I feel slim but other than that I look between 3 - 6 months pregnant.
I've been offered a seat on the tube many times and asked by many random people if I'm pregnant (wankers! But that's another thread).
I'm 5 foot 3 and fluctuate between 9 stone and 9 stone 3llbs - never over or under in the last 3 years.
I do ALOT of exercise. I run between 15 - 25 miles a week. I do 2 spin classes per week. I cycle to and from work every day (10 miles) and swim once or twice per week.
My diet is average I think. A typical day is Granola, an orange, a wrap, salad or sandwich for lunch. Crisps most days, they are my downfall. Dinner is salmon or chicken, veg and sweet potatoes or rice. I often have an ice cream
Alcohol wise, I drink maybe twice a week.
This morning I was in tears trying to find a dress to hide my stomach. It protrudes, I look 6 months gone today.
Surely with the exercise and the not that bad (or am I in denial) diet I shouldn't have this problem?!? What is wrong with me?!? Does anyone have the same problem, or have a miracle cure for bloat? I know it's not a real problem in the real world but it's affecting my life and confidence, I feel disgusting....
