This Fit Blogger's Selfies Prove That Everybody Bloats

It's time to make peace with the puffiness. - by Marissa Gainsburg

This Fit Blogger's Selfies Prove That Everybody Bloats
Facebook - Tiffany Brien

Some days, you wake up feeling slim and sexy; others, you feel like a busted can of biscuits. Such is life as a woman—even if you’re a gym junkie.

 

Fitness blogger Tiffany Brien has kindly given us all a reminder that being bloated is a natural (though not enjoyable) occurrence. And more important, not one worth beating ourselves up over.

 

Recently on Facebook, Brien posted side-by-side photos taken 12 hours apart—before bed and upon waking up. The difference in the size of her stomach is pretty remarkable.

Reality check.... ☝🏼️ No I'm not 6 months ...

“No, I’m not six months’ pregnant. It’s just my food baby,” Brien wrote. “It is a delightful cocktail of lack of sleep, stress, hormones, and food intolerances. A mixture for a whole lotta bloat.”

Brien detailed how she personally struggles to manage all of these factors (her toughest hurdle: prioritizing solid sleep)—a topic many bloggers don't hit on in between the ab selfies and smoothie bowls they post on social media.

She also explained how even a wholesome diet won't necessarily prevent an inflated tummy. "This photo is a bad day, a day I cannot tell you exactly what I ate that made me blow up," she continued. "I have gone over everything I ate and I was relatively clean, so it could be something I think is 'healthy' that my body now thinks 'naaa, no likey.' Sometimes your body becomes intolerable to something you've always eaten; you just have to work it out."

While Brien offers a few suggestions for banishing bloat (like drinking peppermint tea and taking probiotics), we love that her message goes way beyond the physical.

“I thought I would share a bad day with you to show nobody is ‘perfect’ and it is okay to have an off day where your body decides to not play ball.”
