Your gain in weight should correspond to a loss of weight in your environment (the food you ate, the water you drank, the air you breathed, etc.). Overall the Earth (including the things on its surface) won't have changed.

Where would that weight increase come from?
Imagine you have some money in a jacket pocket. You take the money out, and put it in a trouser pocket. Are you richer, or poorer? The answer, of course, is neither.
The Earth, to all intents and purposes, is a closed system. the weight you have gained comes from eating things that were already on the Earth. Now, if you went up in a spaceship, and ate 100lb of asteroid, then came back, it would be different.

I could argue that the earth would weigh less.
You have to eat more than 100 pounds of food to gain 100 lbs.
Therefore the earth would weigh less.

if you gain weight then this gained weight will come from consumption of food or drinking water. this means that although the weight of you increases the weight of the rest of the world decreases so it balances out.

I don't know... It sounds possible, but I'm not sure.
Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object. Mass is different. (It's the amount of matter in an object.) The mass of earth might change, but I don't think the weight will.

it just means you've got fatter. the mass of earth(that is including you) is same no matter how fat you get because the poor earth(excluding you) from which you are consuming is getting thinner.
