Why is my weight going up?

Hi all,

Im 5'11 and I am usually around 189-191

Today I am 195 even after using the washroom.

I weighed myself about an hour after I had a bowl of raisin bran cereal with 2 percent milk and a fiber one bar with orange juice. Is that too much?

BTW, I recently lost 160lbs and I want to go to 140lbs.

I have to ask if you have an eating disorder?  Or a distorted perception of your body.

There are many variables in our weight, over a days' time, depending on what we've eaten, our activity level, how long since we used the bathroom, whether or not we might have some fluid retention, etc; fluctuating up or down a few pounds is not a big deal. You should only ever weigh yourself first thing in the morning, after you've used the bathroom; then forget the scale for the rest of the day.
