6 pound weight gain...

I had a ugly run in with my depression a few weeks ago. I was 182 and by the time my staying in bed and not eating mood was over I was 179. Well I started eating again and well now I'm 185... what just happened?

      Not eating doesn't really do anything except slow down your metabolism, make you dehydrated, and decrease your lean muscle mass. (IE, nothing good!) Don't worry overly much about the scale right now.

    I think it's been hard to see a 6 pound gain in such a short time...

    Well, yeah, but rest assured it's just water weight. You got a bit dehydrated, so when you started eating/drinking, the body latched onto everything. Once you're back to regular consumption, your body will relax and let it go.

    [Hugs] I promise, it's fine!
