It could be that you are eating too much sodium. Most diet sodas have a lot in them, aside from the carbonation. You may have very weak abdominal muscles, which you can strengthen by doing core exercises (Pilates is great for abdominal strength). Also, throughout the day try to keep your abs tight and sucked in. It not only makes you look slimmer, but it strengthens those muscles and gives you better posture.

I am no expert, but it has to do with what you are eating/ drinking. When I drink too much soda for example, .especially dark sodas, I bloat. fried foods do it to. Lettuce can also give you gas / bloat. Through the night, your body fasts. I recently got a book about digestion and foods that will help regulate that kind of thing. Check out my source:)
Bloating
The main cause of bloating is air. More specifically, either air that is swallowed during eating or exercising, air produced by your own body in reaction to high-fiber foods or air in air containing foods such as ice cream. Many times, what people believe is fluid retention is actually bloating.
The following tips may help bloating. Chew your food slowly. The more slowly you eat, the better your food is broken down, the less likely you are to suffer from gas caused by swallowing air.
Avoid bloating foods. Raw vegetables, cabbage, beans, bagels and pretzels (which are cooked in boiling, bubbly water), dairy products, sugars and chocolate also are bloat-producers.
Neutralize gas producing foods. Beano, available over the counter in liquid or tablet form, is a liquid enzyme that breaks down the indigestible sugars in foods. Simethicone and Charcoal are other over the counter products that can help bloating.
Finally, exercising (without gulping air) can help alleviate bloating.

because you are probable;y skinny, and our skin is stretchable. through the hole day your food gets stored in your stomach, making it look big, over night the food digests into your digestive system emptying your stomach... that way it looks nice & flat. it's normal, but you can prevent this. if you work your stomach muscles the skin over them doesnt streach over as much, which will keep your stomach from getting big, also, you get abbs :]
lol, well i hope i helped.
