If you didn't weigh yourself at the same time each day that could be the cause. Its best to weigh yourself first thing in the morning! I'm sure its probably only water gain!

Geez I really really hope so... I have this thing where I am so paranoid If i gain weight, and im so paranoid and upset right now I want to cry.. i hope it is right about the weighing yourself at the same time each day thing, because i weighed myself around like 5 am before i ate and after i used the bathroom... and its like 6 15 now after i have eaten all day and stuff... but i relaly hope i didnt gain that much in 2 days! if anything i have eaten less.....

i am very very upset right now i feel so obese.

Weight can fluctuate by about 5 pounds( especially when it's that time of the month). Go by your weight first thing in the morning after you've used the bathroom and you're not PMSing. That is your most accurate.

I hope its because im PMSing, but i havent gotten my period in 5 months, is that bad?
