I've been quite relaxed about my eating and drinking since Xmas eve I've ate a lot more than I Normally do splurging a lot is it just me that looks in the mirror and sees weight gain or can a week actually make a lot of difference in how u look?

    Yes, through fluid gain/bloating, actual fat gain, and just perception in your head, all of these factors could make you look fatter.
