Carla, congrats on 17 days! I have a completely nonscientific. Theory that when we were drinking and eating all those calories our digestive systems just shut down and didn't process much of anything (they were drunk after all
) now that we are eating better and not destroying our bodies our bodies are hoarding the calories because they don't trust that we wont go back to drinking. Give your body time to heal and adjust.
I lost bloat right away so at least my face lost the puffiness. But have not found the other weight to go anywhere unless I exercise and diet...go figure
