Water retention can be so difficult to accept when you are dieting. I gained 7lb this month. I cut back on the salt, and within 5 days I'd lost 6 of those lb. It is hard to know where extra lb are coming from.
I didn't expect to remain at 140 on my first try. Then I gained over 10lb and was frantic. I held those 10lb for a week before they started to drain off.
I did cheat on the weekend. I has sushi and sushami with my daughter - but that shouldn't have caused such a major weight gain. It is hard to know or understand. The books never mention stalls, water retention, or unexplained weight gains.
The most important thing to remember is that stress can cause weight gain. It is important to understand and accept your weight gain so that your body (immune system) doesn't start working against you.
