Ok all, I'm new here so I will try to make this as short as possible! I am 22 yrs old, 5'11, 150-155 lbs (varies). I have hated my body since I was a highschooler and have struggled with eating and gastrointestinal issues. Recently, I have moved to Texas (originally being from North Dakota). Before I moved I weighed about 153. After I started working in the very hot Texas summers I am now around 158. I work at a very, very busy veterinary clinic we travel for weeks at a time. During these times I hardly had a chance to eat until supper and had been drinking lots more water. I work very actively with the horses also (lots of lifting, restraining, etc) I thought when I got back from being on the road I would weigh much less, but surprisingly I weighed more?? Is this water weight? Muscle gain? My jeans are a bit tighter, and will admit I'm fairly stressed. I've become a complete freak about my weight over the years and so any gains make me feel miserable. I try to eat as clean as possible, though still find myself very bloated and have a very distended abdomen. Can I get some advice for my never-ending (seems like it) issues?! Any help is very, very appreciated. Thank you!!
