Zen Belly

Does anyone else have a Zen Belly? By this I mean a bulging belly. Ever since I started doing Zazen and doing lower abdominal breathing, my belly is like a balloon. I read something a while back about it and it seemed quite common in those that do Zazen. I know a lot of the masters had big bellies.
Sorry, not the most enlightening question!

(checks in mirror) Yeah, kind of. Don't know if that's from Zen, though.

Uh-oh; now I'm going to have to sit standing up.

Heh heh. When the master told you to think with your belly he didn't mean it that way.

I can do 20 Crunchies, no problem!
It's funny though - I do think with my belly and then I blame it on zazen! (But I assume Karen's theory is partly to blame)
Ah, the wonders of the deceiving mind,eh :-)
Right, think I'll read that new proper post about proper stuff!
Thanx
