Does it happen overnight?
In my first year in Korea, I gained weight. When ever I gained more weight, it appeared to happen overnight - wake up and clothes noticably tighter after having gone a few weeks saying "hey - weight gain, thanks to eating samgyupsal and drinking too much in this bloody country, appears to have stopped".
Well, I've been going to the gym 6 times per week since October, walking/jogging 4km each time (2 miles if I'm lazy) and arm stuff. I've lost weight of course and have lost the edge off my beer belly. Same thing happens with weight loss - it seems to happen overnight. I wake up one morning and my belt can go to the next notch with ease and I'm like "WOAH!  ". For weeks, one doesn't seem to be getting anywhere and then overnight - BAM! - it's gone. It's like banking, when the bank adds or deducts interest on a certain day every month, yet the interest accrued gradually, day by day.
Does this happen to everyone? To you? Scientific basis for this? It's most interesting, please discuss. |

No, I wouldn't say that there is an scientific reason for it. If you wore the same shirt and pants everyday, I think the change would not be very noticeable at all on a day to day basis. It's when you put on a shirt that used to be tight or loose, and now is not, that you "suddenly" notice a difference. It has more to do with variations in the size and design of your clothing. At least that's my theory. |

| Yeah- it's been happening gradually, but you only noticed it when it affected clothing tightness. |
