why is it?

[suzanita]

that when you eat before bed or in the middle of the night you wake up and your face is bigger? I assume its water weight but why does your face get bigger? What is the scientifiic explanation for that? I dont even eat alot, I just have a small snack but its annoying becuase I look better with a thin face.

I'm sorry maybe you dont buy into it. but my face is ALWAYS thin UNLESS I eat a small meal or sandwich in the middle of the night. It goes away if I dont eat the next night. I'm not here to complain or get help I just wanted a reason behind it. I know its TEMPORARY and water weight.

The only scientific explanation is that you have a food allergy. Or an over-active imagination.

Yep I agree...

When you said your face is bigger, did you mean its bloated? If you have water retention, i am sure you would hold water everywhere. Not just on the face... of course everytime you look in the mirror, you see your face first.

Anyway, for goodness sake, nobody is going to look at you while you are asleep. Bigger face is no biggie.

Next time just go straight back to bed.

I don't think it is in your head, i get this too. Two years ago i was getting too thin and my own mom told me that my face was looking thin and old. Now that i am healthy i look younger!! My face is the first to gain and first to lose so at least my pants still fit!!!

There's a big difference between putting on real fat and waking up with a bloated face.

Yeah, I know its temporary, it does go away. I was only questioning why we hold onto water when we eat at night.
