I completely lost all control this week and binged everyday! I haven't been keeping track of my binge calories but I'm guessing somewhere over 4000 everyday.

I'm up 7 pounds but I couldn't have gained 7 pounds of actual fat in six days though, right?
how much of it do you think is just water weight?

    it's all math. A lb of fat is roughly 3500 calories above whatever you maintenance is. It's probably a lot of water and a few lbs of fat.

    It's difficult to say since you didn't log it. You don't know how far over you went.

    I'm guessing you weren't bingeing on vegetables, so you are probably seeing the effects of salt-free water retention.
