Is it possible to gain 5 pounds in a 10 day period of binging? I am terribly ashamed to admit I ate at least 4000-5000 calories every night for the past 10 days. I am getting back on track tomorrow!! The reason why I binged is because I stopped counting calories. I wanted a break from it. And look what happened..can anyone give me advise? could the 5 pounds be fat or water? I know some of it is fat but I'm afraid to know how much of it is.

Tomorrow I'm working out and tracking calories again.

    majority is probably water weight and poop.

    that said, if you wren't tracking... how do you know how much you ate anyway?

    I'm just guessing because I ate A LOT of peanutbutter and bread..

    I'm sure a lot of it is water weight, but the scale and fluctuations on it are very deceiving often. I doubt it was a whole 5 lbs of fat. Try drinking a lot of water to help flush out what was probably a lot of sodium from your binging.

    I cant believe I let myself go off track so easily. I lost 150 pounds over 6 years ago and have been 125 pounds for 3 years. Until now. The scale has been reading 130 for the past few days. Sigh. I finally threw away the food that is to much temptation for me.
