Let's assume your caloric average per day sits around 3,000.

1,700x7 = 11,900
3,000x7= 21,000

21,000 - 11,900 = 9,100

1lb of fat = 3,500 calories

9,100/3,500 = 2.6

So you've likely gained somewhere around 2.6lbs of excess fat, and if your food choices have been high in sodium, it will absolutely be more (water weight). Sudden caloric increase can also cause digestive issues, so probably expect to add more. So you've probably done somewhere around 5lbs of "damage", but you can undo it NOW if you gte control of your diet.

You can't undo what has been done. Tomorrow is a new day. Learn from what happened and start again.

New day! You get to start fresh every day.

Figure out why you are overeating and fix the problem at its source.

So sensible. Glad I read this.

No pain, no gain. Well, not much gain anyway.

Bri, you can do it!

I did the same - completely lost control for 3 weeks when I was not feeling well. Overeating and lack of exercise = a gain of 5.5lbs. Now back on track and this morning (15 days later) all the extra has gone. So don't worry , it's all behind you and just take one day at a time.
