How does this happen?

I have gained 5 lbs. in three days. This is what it looked like with maintenance marked and one binge marked. I feel pretty disappointed in myself. I probably ate 3500 calories OVER. But, that should not equate five pounds. How did this happen and turn into five?

Where are you in your menstrual cycle? Not only do I gain right before my period, I gain at ovulation as well.

Just get back on track, drink lots of water, and it will come down pretty quickly

I start my period in 9 days.

Still may be the case....I start gaining around 10 days before....then it doesn't come off until 3 or 4 days afterwards. I usually gain between 5 - 10 lbs.

Of course it comes right off afterwards....but it's still annoying every month.

I am at my biggest 12 to 7 days before my period, due to progesterone. Pretty normal.

I've had some whopping weight gains from maintenance calories too, it's normal, it will go back down again.
