There were days i ate chocolates ( mars, galaxy , kit kat , kinder bueno etc) i lost count there were a lot of bars. I gained 6kgs ! In a month ! I still cnt believe it bcuz there were only days when i ate like a monster .i consumed more than 3000 cAlories. But not everyday :( im under a lot of stress right now ... Is it possible to gain 6kgs within a month? I have a lot of Qs inside of me right now.

    Some of that weight gain is probably just water weight from PMS.

    When I'm stressed, I feel much better after exercise. Sometimes a short walk is enough to clear my head and change my state. I also have less stress since picking up a regular exercise program.

    Also, the better I eat (which for me is focusing on protein, fat, and fiber) the less interested I am in empty calorie foods. I do have a little high quality chocolate for after dinner. Kit Kat etc doesn't have enough real chocolate to satisfy me.

    Breathe!

    1) TOM does matter, there's probably some water retention there.
    2) Going from constantly being in a deficit to eating at or above maintenance will replenish and maintain your glycogen stores. Most people gain 3-5 pounds from glycogen when they stop eating at a deficit.
    3) Your clothes will tighten from water weight as well as fat gain, but yes, you've probably gained a bit of fat if you've been eating over maintenance calories.

    Take a deep breath. You've done this before. Start to practice those habits again. Big life changes like moving or a new job aren't always the easiest to deal with, but you can adapt. Make a game plan to eat right and exercise when you can. Reach out to your support system, and get a grip on this before you fall into habits you don't want to have. You can do this.

    Thanks .... Im feeling down/overwhelmed.. ive been down this road bfore... I used to be obese when i was 8-13 ...i had no control over my appetite ...Somehow i managed to get a hold of it and lost 34kgs over years ( from 80kgs to 46kgs) i was clearly happy over my triumph not until i started to gain it back after years and that time i realised my weight was around 68kgs ... I worked harder cutting carbs , meats from my list. Then i reached 50kgs which made me happy with my current height
