Default 3lb weight gain over night?

Hi

felling a bit pissed off i went to a bbq yesterday and there where not any healthy options and i did drink, however i walked 4 miles to get there and back and ran around after my cousins daughter all night so figured i would be ok.

today i weighed myself and it says a three pound weight gain!

can this be acurate of am i experiancing some sort of water retention after drinking alcohol? am feeling so angry with myself i dont want to eat dinner.

any feedback welcome

I know I'm new here, but for what it's worth ....

Long game view - variations occur in weight from day to day which may or may not be related to what you eat the day before. Do the right thing in the longer term and it will be minor blip, don't let it throw you off course.

The other thing you could think about is ways to manage things like a barbeque - like in future taking some food along that fits with your eating plan (e.g. a big platter with veg and low fat dips/salsa etc) - I'd even consider taking my own meat and ask them to barbecue if they're not going to have anything appropriate.

Good luck, and don't sweat the small stuff.

thanks for the posts guys.

i do hope its just water retention, i didnt want to weight myself but i step on my wii and just cant help but check out my weight (not a healthy thing to do everyday i know)

never really thought about taking my own food before but kind of feels odd as not everyone knows i am on a diet etc and they may think it rude.

anyway am planing my own bbq at the end of the month and will be serving lots of lean grilled chicken and lots of salad :-)

much love

Hiya

No one can gain 3lb over night it was properly just the weight of the food in your stomach
Things like your time of the month can add lbs i dont even bother weighing in around this times as i know the scales will go up.

dont let it put you off give your self a couple of days and then weigh in again i am sure it will be back to normal

~Keep up the good work honey and dont let just one bbq get you down
