Weight loss while sick

2 weeks ago I came down with tonsillitis. Due to that I didn't really eat, but I did make sure I kept myself hydrated. What I did eat mainly consisted of popsicles and ice cream because the coldness felt really good on my throat. I weighed myself last Monday and after being platued for 2 weeks I somehow managed to lose 8 pounds in 1 week. I weighed myself again yesterday after getting over my illness and I'm still sitting at the same weight. Is this an actual weight loss or just water weight loss even though I made sure I kept myself well hydrated during my week long sickness?

    Who knows. It could be part water/part fat loss. Just enjoy and keep moving forward.
