It is really frustrating me, bringing me down, and making me feel like whats the point(I KNOW BETTER THO!)

Just wondering if anyone else has had this prob!

Yes, I have had this problem more times then I can say. I have had it Due to Ovulation also at TOM, sometimes when you have hormonal surges this happens and is especially true when you are losing fat. Estrogen is stored in the fat cells so sometimes when you ahve a Whooshie you will all of a sudden be bloated and have water retention as the body deals with this surge of hormones from your fat cells the bloat goes away YAY for that. I have been know to be bloated for more then 2 weeks I sure hope it doesn't last that long for you girl but, I think that your body is adjusting right now and maybe getting ready for a real nicew Whooshie WOOOHOOO.

I don't know of anything, however, this morning I woke up and my eyes were sooooooooo swollen, I mean swollen! I thought maybe I got something in them, but now i am thinking maybe it was allergies, I have taken some allergy meds and now they have gone down... maybe I am allergic to something I ate, but I haven't added any new foods into my diet....

how about new ingredients in a food.

How about new vits or supplements? new lotions soap ? I had a massive reaction to soy in my lotion even though I didn't swallow it.

it doesn't have to be new to you I was eating soy for yrs before I developed an allergy to it.

yep, that is all I can figure if it is an allergy. Must be some new allergy as nothing I have used/eaten/knowingly come in contact with has changed...

that is tough as they only way to find out is to do the elimination diet and then add things back one at a time sort of like OWL till you react.

Check all your food labels cause I remember in 2004 when my PP company added soy to their product and I didn't know till I reacted and was searching everything for hidden soy.
