Go outside for a walk - no smells, no food, burn calories. I do this whenever the need to eat overcomes me. 

Just FYI -- it is physically impossible to gain 3 pounds of fat in one day. What's more likely -- especially with your description of what you ate -- you had too much sodium, and your body freaked out and retained water and stool. Soon as you're back on plan, that weight will drop right off.  

I agree with Hermiones. I had the same issue. 3lbs up by the time I went to bed on Xmas day. I am pretty much back to normal now but it really freaked me out. 

Exumfats, i feel the same way, just smelling or even thinking of food and I gain weight!! I want to try cutting my portions back to see if this makes a difference. Tried it in the past and it worked, but I was much younger then. Hang in there! 

Soonsoonsoon, you're right, I go outside everyday, walk at least a mile, work, or just sit on a bench & talk to friends. It helps me. Heriones Mom, it may be impossible to gain 3 lbs of fat in a day, but I've gained 3 lbs of "something" in a day. I think you may be right though about retaining water. Dr. told me I had a minor prostate problem & gave me meds for it. Once in awhile I feel as if I don't pass enough water. Not often but sometimes. Lucygirl1, I know where you're coming from. When I was younger I might gain 5 lbs in a wk., but then lose it in a day. Now it's opposite. If I gain 1 lb in a day, it takes a week to lose it.Thank each & everyone one of you for your advice. It's great having people who care. Hope ya'll all have a Happy & Prosperous New Year.
