The Real Reason You’re Holding Onto Water Weight and How to Finally Let It Go
Bellas, let’s have some real talk.
You are eating clean, moving your body, even watching your sodium. Yet the scale will not budge and your clothes still feel snug. What gives?
The truth is, sometimes it is not fat that is making you feel heavier or look puffier. It is water retention. And in Laredo, Texas, where heat, hormones, and lifestyle all collide, it can be a real challenge.
At Bella Vita Spa, our Body Sculpting treatments do more than help with fat reduction. They also help flush trapped fluid, smooth your shape, and reveal the definition you have been working for.
What Causes Water Retention?
Water retention, also called edema, happens when fluid builds up in your tissues instead of moving through your lymphatic system like it should. Here are the most common reasons we see in our Bellas:
Hormonal Changes
Your cycle, pregnancy, or menopause can all trigger your body to hold onto water. This is most common in the belly, face, and thighs.High Sodium Intake
Salty foods, even those delicious carne asadas, can cause your body to retain fluid.Poor Lymphatic Drainage
If your lymphatic system is sluggish, fluid gets stuck and creates puffiness in your jawline, neck, belly, or legs.Sedentary Lifestyle
Long hours sitting at a desk or in the car can cause fluid to pool, especially in the lower body.Inflammation and Stress
Illness, injury, or even chronic stress can make your body hold onto excess fluid as a protective response.
Where Water Retention Shows Up
For our Bellas, the most common spots are the jawline and neck, which can soften your profile and hide definition. The belly is another common area, adding inches and making clothes feel tighter. Many women also notice it in the legs and ankles, which can feel heavy and tired, especially in the summer heat.

What to Expect After Treatment
