    Dear god. Give it a month.You didn't gained 4 pounds of fat!!! It is water weight
    THIS...How long did you eat the higher calories for??

    A day lol. I'm very impatient and seeing that kind of weight gain makes my day crap afterwards. I drank 6 glasses of water, I guess that explains a lot.

    Better read this,

    Also if you are recovering from ED your metabolism has been screwed with. (Not sure if this applies to you) Special circumstances apply. Below is a link to a great reply in a thread detailing the special issues faced by people that have been under eating over a extended amount of time.

    Read Hedgrens reply to someones post.

    patience..my weight is up about 5 pounds since increasing my calories..but..I have lost a pant size..now a 6..and my undies have gone from a medium to a small..but the scale doesnt show it..I aldo did freak out..but now..I am happy...last year at this time I was a size 14 and XL undies...

    You have to stop freaking out and just stick with it...yes our bodies are weird..and they sometimes dont behave..but there are many other indicators that your body is behaving..you just have to have the right tools to access this..
