When I stepped on the scale this morning the whole world stopped. 115.9????? Yesterday morning I was 110.6 and I step on the scale more than once to make sure the scale isn't out of whack. How could I have gained over 5 pounds in one day!!????? I am panicking panicking panicking. What happened? I have NEVER had a fluctuation like this in the course of my entire WW experience. That's over 1 1/2 years this has never happened.
I did eat medium fries from McDonald's and a TCBY parfait yesterday but that does not account for a 5 pound gain. Someone please tell me that this will all go away tomorrow! I am sure most of this is water weight but I am so worried that tomorrow the scale will say it's worse or that I will be the same. Maybe my binges from a couple weeks ago are catching up with me... Not good not good.
By the way I am buzzing bad off of coffee this morning. I got a great machine and I will post about it later but for now please help me feel better if you can. This is bothering me to no end!
Thanks,
Leanne

Calm down
Okay, it is impossible to gain 5 pounds of fat in one day! The explanations are limitless. Don't freak out yet. Even if you have gained 5 pounds, you know you can get it off. Are your clothes still fitting? Please just calm down. And don't let this be an excuse to binge! You know how far you've come! Calm down and take a breath!
Breathe....and maybe the caffeine is making you panic more than normal. Are you drinking enough water to flush out the water? Are you eating salty f or even sugary foods lately, that can make you retain as much as 5 pounds over night. I had a 3 pound fluctuation over night once but it can be as high as 5 pounds depending on salt or even sugar intake. Don't freak just yet. Go and drink some water and calm down. It will okay.
I am glad you are freaking out over those lbs. II have weighed a 3 lb difference before by weighing before and after I pee, so it probably is water, but this is good therapy for you. You will watch everything all the time and you will stay in shape. Did you find a condo?
Promise! I'm sure its what you said, water weight. It takes a couple days for weight like that to stick, Just try and flush your body of toxins for today and tomorrow. Stick to veggies and fruits. You'll be back to your 110 lbs self in no time!! Keep us updated when you can!! HUGS
