How did i gain 20 pounds in 2 weeks? stayed same weight for 3 years?!


Question: okie so for about 3-4 years now i was 135... im 6 ft 5 in... i took a 2 week vacation from my job in october and when i came back from it (just stayed at home) 2 weeks later... i couldnt get my pants to button... i looked at the scale and it was 155!!! im like that was random... i dunno how that happend. i dont diet or exercise cept for alll the lifting and walking i do from being a tech in the cable industry... i do drink alot... but mainly light beers and liquor. i never changed the amount of alcohol consumption since i started 3 years ago...

im about to accuse the beer but that doesnt seem right since ive been drinking it for quite a bit. 2 weeks change after a 3 year same weight doesnt seem right.

i am tall and thin.. cept now i have this belly.. used to be abs...

also i tend to wanna eat more? even though i dont really eat as much... maybe a meal a day and some snacks.... thats about what i eat lifely

6'5" and 135 lbs? That is anorexic, man. Even 155 lbs isn't even close to what you should weigh. I think your body is trying to tell you something by packing on the pounds. Maybe you've blown your throid.

Knock off the drinking. You might be too drunk to realize you are eating more during your vacation.

If you are super active at work and then all of the sudden have little activity for 2 weeks, you could definitely put on weight. 20 lbs is a lot, though. I could easily see 10 lbs.

Not good to put on fat in the belly. I can imagine you will go back to around your old weight once you get back to work for awhile. PLEASE don't diet!

Get a check-up. Do you have a health care plan through your work? I think you need some attention. You are probably getting all of your nutrition from the bottle and that means you are certainly deficient in lots of nutrients. You can still be very thin but healthy.

its probably because you sat at h ome all day and you werent being active. if were working that weight would of never came on

exercise is a way to to lose weight and you have to eat right, drinkin alcohols will really make you dizzy and lazy so you tend to gain weight

it's not possible to gain 20 lbs in 2 weeks unless most of it is water weight.

Reasons:

You Stopped working & started eating more on vacation
Your metabolism is just slowing down with age
You have thyroid condition

Just start eating better and do some exercise it will come off

TOO MANY CALORIES PLUS TOO LITTLE ACTIVITY. CUT BACK ON THE BEER

I would imagine your metabolisim is now catching up with you and you may have to ajust your Caloric intake. How ever at 6'5 155lbs i would keep putting on the pounds for a little bit. I'm considerd barely healthy at 5'10 155lbs

WOW! Great vacation!
