[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not much to offer in terms of advice but I am in the same boat. I'm petite and skinny with a relatively flat tummy but my waistline expands about 3-4 inches after having a "normal" meal that it looks pretty obvious on my frame. What I have observed is that carbs, carbonated drinks, and certain alcoholic drinks like beer make the situation even worse so you might want to minimize those.[/quote]

Not OP but this is my issue on vacation. I think flying also exacerbates this problem. I don't drink much alcohol but I love carbonated beverages on vacation. And am more likely to eat carb-heavy meals. We spent spring break at a resort and I got a bit of a complex while we were there because I usually don't think about my belly at all and I think I looked like I had a gut all week.

Also I'm mid-40s and I think some of this is "menopause belly".

When I got home and went back to my normal eating habits, my stomach shrank without losing any weight.

It's annoying but I guess I'm not willing to sacrifice eating this way on vacation. I might try to scale it back some, but vacation is the one time I truly don't second guess myself when I order food -- I just get what sounds good and don't worry about it. Oh well. Photos from the chest up unless I'm wearing a caftan![/quote]
