8 pounds in one week?

I've been visiting home alot this week and I gained 8 pounds (I went from 128 to 136) ..in that unhealty? when I am at MY apartment I don't drink pop or eat candy ( because I can't afford it) but when I go home my little sis wants to bake cookies and eat junk and I do that with her when I visit. Is 8 pounds normal for a week

Answers:
That seems a little excessive for one week. My guess is that you're retaining water. Is your period due to start soon? In that case, you could very well be holding fluid.

some may be water, or you may be weighing with a different scale. 8 pounds is 28000 calories. Do you really think you consumed 4000 calories a day in the last 7 days?
Some of it might be water retention. However, if you're constantly eating food that your body isn't used to consuming, then you could gain quite a bit in a short period of time. My best advice is to learn to just say "No." Its simple to say and it can save you from having to go clothes shopping soon!
