so i was sick last week and i dropped like 8 lbs just from not being able to eat anything and keep it down, but then when i got back to being healthy i'll admit i ate off plan but i've put on eight pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!! in a week. ive never put on weight like this. i went from 197 to 205 in a matter of the first three days i was better and i didnt eat THAT OFF plan. im trying to rationalize this to myself and the only thing i could come up with is that i was really dehydrated from the fever and other flu symptoms too gross to name??? i know i was definitely dehydrated while sick as i had the awful headaches but without my mommy there to force me to drink i usually just chose to go to sleep rather than get up and get water, haha. things seem to have stabalized now and i am back to losing but i cant lie that i am DEVASTATED by this gain. i know that some of the weight i lost was not real and it was just because i was sick so in actuality ive just gained like three pounds but this really really hurts.
does anyone have any advice for getting back onto program after having the flu? should i just stick to the plan i was using before and my metabolism will readjust eventually?????? i just dont know...
