Funny little thing about water weight that I've noticed.....

It makes a HUGE impact on the size and shape of my body. When I drop 5lbs of 'water weight' my waist and hips literally get smaller and my face gets more elongated/defined. When I gain 5lbs of water weight the opposite happens.

So I guess what I'm ranting is that it's not "just" water weight, it's a delicate balance of subcutaneous water that can damn near make or break how you feel about your reflection.

End Speech.

Because I'll tell you, water weight makes a HECK of a difference. Two days ago I couldn't comfortabley fit into the shorts I'm wearing today.... and today I could feasabley use a belt with them.

Yeah, since I've stopped bulking and started cutting this last week I've lost a bunch of water weight. Crazy difference in my face.

No milk products, less sodium, more diuretics. It'll do that to ya.
