Answers: Fluid retention.
Try taking some fluid eliminating tablets.

THATS IMPOSSIBLE

ingestion of food or liquid that weighs ten pounds. otherwise you can not gain that much weight. a gallon of milk weighs about eight pounds.

even then it is most likely a malfunctioning scale or different scales.

Your scale is broken.

And if it's not then you better see a doctor fast because adding ten extra pounds to your body weight overnight implies some serious medical complications.

Some kind of tumor or cyst

Water weight. Near that time of the month? Your weight can shoot up by bloating.

not a good sign,go to a doctor and get an mri or something,there are a few possibilities ,none very good.

It is possible to gain up to 10lbs in fluid during your cycle - i read this yrs ago. When you say you don't eat very much - eating little and often is better than not eating much at all b/c it affects the metabolism and it is possible to gain weight even when not eating at all. Heard Ian Marber talking about it on tv this week (diet doctor?)
