9000 calories over??

kroger7 · October 2009

Not possible! This weekend was Thanksgiving up here in Canada and my family also celebrated a baby shower so there was LOTS of good food floating around. I did my best to be good, although the desserts did get me, but this morning I weighed myself and I was...back to my starting weight?? :noway: That's 2.5 lbs + in one weekend!!

If a lb of fat=3600 cal, x 2.5=9000 cal over this week? I don't think so. I was very good all the way up til the weekend, and though I probably went over a couple days, there's no way it was THAT much. Is it just water weight?? What can I do! I feel so hopeless, like the weight is never gonna come off for good if I can put it back on just from one holiday weekend, and I didn't even eat everything I wanted to :sad:

I honestly do not think that is possible! It is probably water weight due to extra salty treats, I bet you will be back down in a few days ~ hang in there!:bigsmile:

I would drink tons of water today for some damage control....I think you will see it come off.

Yep, water weight. Drink lots of water and get back on track starting today, you'll probably see that gone in a couple days to a week.

Basic rule of thumb that I follow....I eat WHATEVER I want on holidays. That's not to say I run around all day seeing how many cookies and cupcakes I can cram in my mouth, but if we sit down to Thanksgiving dinner, I put what I want on my plate. I don't measure, I don't deprive myself. It's one of the days of the year that I can enjoy with my family and just eat without reading labels and measuring.

Hope you had fun, and don't stress too much about it, it will come off.

Hi - it might just be the food still in your system. It might not be fat weight. Be good for a week, and it should go back to normal.
This happens to me all the time. I think I carry food around for like two days.
