Recently gained 10.2 lbs in 2 weeks, then lost 9.6 in the next 11 days. Keep your mindset through binges!

Hey loseit, it’s my first time posting here. I recently went on a multi-week binge, eating up to 1400 calories over my maintenance daily (maintenance is around 2750 for me). I kept counting calories through the binge, never missed anything. It was pretty depressing to see myself eat over 1k in Trader Joe’s cookies, but logging was such a habit that I never stopped. Now I’ve been back to a calorie deficit for 11 days and have lost 9.6 of those pounds again.

Firstly, it’s crazy to me how fast I gained the weight. I only went over maintenance by about 4500 calories in total, which is about 1.5 lbs of fat, but gained 10 lbs?? I’m thinking it must have been water weight.

Secondly, just a reminder not to forget your goals while binging. Sometimes mistakes happen, nobody’s perfect. The important thing is getting back on the horse, and it might surprise you how easily those new pounds leave.
