I look thinner in the morning

Is it because your muscles tend to relax later in the day? It makes me depressed when in the morning or after a workout I can see that my stomach is tighter but at night or before I go to bed I my stomach looks fatter and I loose a little definition in my abbs. Anyway maybe its just me!

This may be what is happening to you as well. During the day, your body is burning calories and the body is trying to compensate for it. Don't let it discourage you. Keep working out and doing cardio and it WILL get smaller for good. :)

The lighting is set just right to accentuate muscularity even more. Bodybuilding is in fact all about illusion. If you think about it, there are many "tricks" one can do to appear to have a smaller waist for instance...i.e...broaden the shoulders and or back. -------------- Maximus from Gladiator....Strength and Honor!
