Ok, I'm kinda freaking out here.

The day before yesterday , I was 172. I just stepped on the scale, and I'm 180!!!!!

The "rational" part of my brain is telling me that it's TOM (I'm on day 3 of TOM). And I did read some old threads on weight gain during TOM.....but 8 lbs sounds like SO MUCH????? Two weeks of weeks of weight loss GONE in only two days!!!

My calories and carbs have been kinda low lately. But, my fat percentages are good....averaging around 70%. Though I usually drink around 400oz of water, the past few days I've been drinking at least 100oz, which is supposedly right for my weight.
And, I've been SO exhausted this TOM.....I had to call in sick to work, and that never happens! So maybe that's all contributing??

My questions:
- Is 8lbs a normal weight gain for someone on TOM??
- After TOM is over, will I go back to my pre-TOM weight, or do I need to lose those 8lbs ALL OVER AGAIN??

So, I'm looking to the women here for some advice, encouragement and everything else this wonderful forum provides! Thank you in advance!!!!

Freakin' out,
Anshim
