well it's a bit more difficult in my situation, because im a trainer, and all my friends are trainers, and my boss is just a guru. i simply tell then ive been put on prednisone..... for all you that didnt know, its a cortisone steroid, that gives you water retention in the face, it may make you break out, and it increases your appitie so much that you always gain weight. i told my boss this and he recommended some type of salt extract tablets for the facial bloat, lol.
