Over ate the whole weekend and gained 8 lbs!!!

I continually do not understand why people weigh themselves in after a bad weekend knowing they gained weight and then be all freaked out about it.

Set youself up for success. Have a bad weekend? Then have a good week and weigh in on fri or sat morning instead of directly after the bad weekend and then freak out.

So I gained 8 lbs on weekend too but didn't eat that much. I did have 6 ceasar's though. I am so frustrated.

Okay so I ate like a pig for the last 3 days at all the parties I went to for memorial Day weekend and my scale says I gained 8 lbs! Is this even possible! I do feel sick after eating all that crap and my capris were so uncomfortably snug today that I couldn't even wear them! Some one please tell me this will all go away in a few days?!

That's nothing, I've had days where I gained 5 lbs overnight, so imagine 2 straight days of gaining 5 lbs...yup been there. I learned over the years not to worry about it, by experience, whenever I got back to my regular diet, those weight gains came off quickly because in the end it was all water weight. As long as it 's a one or two off thing, it won't do anything in the big scheme of things.

Think of it this way, you don't become skinny by undereating just like you won't get obese for eating a lot for 2 days. People get bigger (or fatter) because they have had many days of over eating.Not 1 or 2 days.
