DO NOT THROW IN THE TOWEL!!
I promise you, you have not gained 3 pounds.
Lose the “f**k it” mentality and get straight back on your plan.
Drink plenty of water, go to the gym and do your usual workout - you don’t need to do any additional cardio!
Ignore the scale if it really is a trigger for you but…. If you’re curious and want to understand more about how your body weight fluctuates from day to day, then get back on it and track your weight all week and see what happens.
Remember, you did not gain 3 pounds of body fat overnight that would require literally thousands of excess calories and I know you didn’t need that many Doritos.
What you’re seeing on the scale is just water food volume and a normal fluctuation.
Chill out. You’re doing just fine
