Answers:
"A rapid weight gain may be a sign of dangerous fluid retention."
If you ACTUALLY gained TWENTY pounds in a single week, call your doctor (edit). It may not have ANYTHING to do with how much you ate.
Here's more info:
Edema (also known as dropsy or fluid retention) is swelling caused by the accumulation of abnormally large amounts of fluid in the spaces between the body's cells. It is a symptom rather than a disease or disorder. Widespread, long-term edema can indicate a serious underlying disorder.
Signs and Symptoms
These will vary and may include the following.
Swollen limbs (possibly accompanied by pain, redness, heat)
Facial puffiness; abdominal bloating
Shortness of breath, extreme difficulty breathing, coughing up blood
Sudden change in mental state or coma
Muscle aches and pains
What Causes It.?
Imbalance in the body's fluid transfer can be caused by the following.
Sitting or standing for long periods
Certain medications
Hormonal changes during menstruation and pregnancy
Infection or injury to a blood vessel; blood clots; varicose veins
Allergies to food or insect bites
Kidney, heart, liver, or thyroid disease
High or low blood pressure; high salt intake
Brain tumor or head injury
Exposure to high altitudes or heat, especially when combined with heavy physical exertion
What to Expect at Your Provider's Office
Your health care provider will look for varicose veins, blood clots, wounds, or infections. An X ray, computed tomography scan, magnetic resonance imaging, urine test, or blood test may be necessary. Edema caused by organ failure or high altitude sickness may require hospitalization.Health Question & Answer

Many people with eating disorders feel like they can't control what's going on in their life, so they turn to food as the one thing they can control.
