[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]im scared to see my doctor. Everytime I go they blame whatever ailment on my weight. I went for a case of norovirus and they said "you could avoid bugs like this if you lost some more weight". I feel traumatized as I try to lose weight but afraid to see a doctor. [/quote]

Then you need a new doctor.  Are there other doctors in the same practice?  Ask if you can change doctor's in the same practice and if there is any question, just say that your current doctor is not a good fit for you and when you visit and you would prefer a different doctor.  If that isn't a good long-term solution start looking for a new doctor.  However, rapid weight gain over 3 weeks is a potential red flag and you really should see a doctor.  Many times, the issues that cause such a problem can be treated easily and effective when caught early.  The longer you wait, the worse some potential problems could become and easy early treatment options may no longer be possible.

Schedule an appointment now for a week from now.  If, over the next week, you can turn it around and lose 5 lbs of the gained weight, then you can cancel the appointment and keep doing what you were doing.  If you cannot, see the doctor and find out if there are any biochemical or medical reasons for the weight gain.  If as you say, you have been eating balanced meals and keeping your daily calorie intake to a reasonable level (under about 1800-2200 calories a day depending on your weight and exercise level) then there is no way you should have gained that much weight in a short amount of time.  No, there is no way that mere constipation can cause that much weight gain.  Stop deceiving yourself and see the doctor.  Avoiding the doctor because you're afraid of his/her comments is childish and could be dangerous for your long-term health.[/quote]
