Does anyone else cry out of sheer sadness when they gain weight?

I’ve gained two pounds over the past two weeks and I can’t stop crying about it😭 like I know it’s irrational and dramatic but I can’t help it. I feel so corny bc it really shouldn’t be that deep.

I just cried earlier bc my weight is up 2.5 lbs from yesterday and I had a meal anyway and I feel so guilty and like such a failure. I know it's not real weight, there's no way I ate like 9k cals over my TDEE. I know 2.5 lbs doesn't show anyway even if it were real weight. I know nobody gives a fuck except me. But I just felt so devastated and disappointed with myself. So yeah. You're not the only one.

More than I want to admit. A single pound, even if it's only water retention or poop weight, has made me crumble before as dramatic as it sounds. You're not alone, and I'm sorry everyone in this thread knows the struggle.
