OMG Help!!! I gained!!!

Ok, so this weekend, I went back to the area that I am from (near Macomb) and worked in my aunt's restaurant because they needed the help. I think I ate pretty sensibly... so I come back and get on the scale and instead of the usual 183i**** said... 189!! OH MY GOSH!!! I am so freaking out... why would I gain..?!?! This is my menu plan for today Breakfast 2 boiled eggs Snack 6 ounces Lite Yogurt Lunch 3/4 cup Salad 2 0unces Bonless SKinless Chicken Breast Snack 2 Ounces Chicken Breast 1/2 cup Green Beans Snack 1 cup Pretzels Snack 1 Cup Apple Sauce It has Calories: 849 Protein: 69 Fat: 23 Carb: 88 Where did I go wrong? I am so upset... well another thing I haven't had my period since August... do you think that could have anything to do with it?!

So I got out the old fashioned scale (I use my digital usually) and it says good ole 183... but i'm not sure if it's just being kind or what... tonight I'm going to weigh at the doctors office style scale at work!

Do not be freaking out!! you know every single month just before aunt flo visits I gain 5-6 lbs.. Now I have gotten good about only weighing once every 2 weeks.. so you might be nearing that time.... Your doing GREAT kiddo I am so proud of you!!! Debby

Now don't be freaking out. You would have to had eaten a TON of food in order to gain one pound and we are physically not capable in doing that. You need to ingest 3500 calories over what you normally eat to gain one pound and from what I see you did not do that. Just look into your sodium content of the foods you ate and other factors like your period, stress, not getting enough water, this will cause you to retain water because your body will hoard it. Another factor maybe, are you exercising more and gaining muscle and displacing fat? Check back with us when you can, I know that your life is really full right now. We are here for encouragement.
