UGH i wanna give up again!!
Well i weighed myself on wednesday and i was 13st 0. I was very happy. I went away for a few days and ate awfully, coming back to a 13, 3. So annoyed and feel like eating. I dont even know how i put on so much weight. i didnt eat that much. i had some alcohol tho... it was only 3 days..

13 stone, lol! Well perhaps it was the water in the alcohol... im not sure about the salt tho.. I didnt eat anything too unhealthy, had chips one evening (not loads) and had some pasta, a sandwich, bar of chocolate...then just cereal. I really hope it is water retention...
Hey there! It's not unusual for body weight to fluctuate by 3 pounds or more. See the Sticky at the top of this forum titled something like "Why body weight fluctuates."
That said, I'd suggest that you find out how many calories those chips and alcohol contained. It could be that you're going over your plans by more than you think.

ok thanks everyone. i just took a small break from my diet and didnt go overboard, i didnt think it would result in such a gain, anyway, i think i will continue.... thanks for the support!!
That's the right attitude! You can't let an occasional slip up or gain derail your focus - this is a lifetime journey, so even if you have an occassional detour, the important thing is to stay focused on the long term.
You have to be able to go aaway and have a drink or two (or even some chips) once in a while. As long as you get back on program when you get home. You'll see that weight gain slip away soon.
