I can not resist sharing this TRUE experience.
I normally eat a diet very low in salt.
Last Christmas Eve morning I woke up weighing #130. At very little during the day but on Christmas Eve we had soup and crackers, but then on Christmas Day I had ham, olives, pickles, and pretzels. On Decemver 26 I weighted #142!!!!!!!!!! You should have seen my legs walking into the gym .....they were so.......bloated. I swear you could actually see all the fluid under the skin. It took about 4 days and all the weight was gone!
