Gained a lot of arm fat in a few days?!

Okay, so over the weekend I went over my calorie goal on Saturday and Sunday. I didn't see any significant weight gain on my arms, then on Monday I ate normally, and my arms were fine, but today, they look way fatter! And I know it's not my imagination, because I have this one scar on my bicep, and when I was 141, the fat on my arm when I bent it kind of made it look like the scar was being pulled tight. Now, I haven't seen my arm do this in a while, but today (I weigh 129, usually I'm 126, but I'm assuming the weekend kind of put me up a few pounds) it looks like my arms are just as fat as they were when I weighed 141! What is going on!

    It's not fat. It's likely water retention leading to bloating. Did your weekend include a lot of high sodium?
