Did you weigh?: Did you weigh yourself? Looks can be deceiving. It can also be related to diet. High salty foods in your diet can help retain fluids. If you ate reasonably in the last week and gained as you say, try reducing sodium in your diet first and see what happens. If no improvement, discuss with your physician as to other causes of sudden weight gain.
