I have a problem with binge-eating. Lately I've had my eating under control and was able to lose about 12 pounds, but last night I just was really upset and binged. This morning I weighed myself and saw that I had gained 7 pounds of the 12 back--overnight! How did this happen? How much of the 7 pounds could be fat? And how can I make my weight go back down?

It is a known fact that 80% of our body weight is water. After binging or eating large amounts of food, we usually put extra weight on temporarily. This is usually just bloating - It would be highly unlikely that all of this 7 pounds is fat.
If you have a problem with binge eating, try to seek some advice or help from a doctor - its not healthy, it makes you gain weight and also makes you feel horrible afterwards.
Hope this makes you feel better.

depends on how much you binged. did you have many fluids? fluids way tons so that could be part, also if you ate enough theres a very big possibility that all the food is still in your guts, give it a day or two of eating normally and i bet youll loose that 7 once your body has a chance to digest

No you purely gained weight on the grounds which you ate around a million,000 energy and opportunities are high you probably did not exercising sufficient to burn all that power and it have been given saved as fat. yet another threat is that your speedy weight reduction positioned your physique into starvation mode and it saved your McDonald's meal as fat because of the fact survival instincts kicked in- it is extra possibly to ensue in case you have been eating under 2,000 energy an afternoon and not recieving adaquate meals.

Don't worry my friend...
Since you are aware of the problem, I know that you would eat right this next few day again and lose all that non-digested food out of your system in no time...
Keep up the good work...
trust me I've been there and done that as well...

It sounds like you could use a visit to a dietician and/ or physician. You definetley have a binge problem, do you have the purge problem too? There is help...ASK YOUR DOCTOR!
YES, you can "so-called" gain weight over night...for example you weigh yourself, its whatever #'s, then you gorge , say at a buffet style restaurant, then weight yourself again...obviously you will weigh more, you have just packed in the food and it hasn't digested yet. What goes in settles, and we either eventually expel it (feces/poop) or our body utilizes it(muscle or fat)........but until our body disperses the food, our stomach hangs-on to the contents you filled it with.
