Am I imagining it....?

So why is it that when I'm dieting, as soon as I eat something I'm not supposed to, I feel fat. And I don't mean mentally, either. Just yesterday, I was noticing I finally don't feel like an overstuffed cushion ready to split at the seams. The muffin top (let's face it - "muffin top" really sounds so much cuter that it actually looks) at the top of my jeans felt smaller. But as soon as I put that piece of bread in my mouth, my pants instantly felt like a tourniquet. Carbs bloat, but shouldn't it take an hour or so? It just goes to show you how much power the mind has over the body - or is that the body over the mind? It's all too confusing in my carbohydrated state. I think I'm going to go eat some more bread. Just kidding - maybe.
