According to the last two pages of your diary you overate by 17,840 calories in the past 21 days (compared to your stated calorie goal), which turns out to 850 calories a day on average or almost 2 pounds a week. So while it absolutely sucks to see the scales go up it does make a lot of sense.

I was doing okay, then around lunch time I felt so hungry I was feeling a little weak so I went to McAllisters Deli. I was doing good for the day but I kept feeling hungry. I was tempted to go to Dash-In but I ate some fruit instead.

Good point, I'm going to try to shave off some calories on each meal, maybe eating a smaller breakfast and lunch.
 
If smaller portions leave you hungry adding more veggies (preferably green and without a lot of added fat) to add bulk with just a few calories can help.

I'm hoping that was a one off day and taking some calories off per meal won't be an issue.

I would have done better without the cake, and probably the soda. I decided to make the meat sauce myself and it ended up pretty good, despite the fact I didn't have any green peppers. I put in some banana peppers and it worked.

Thankfully, I was able to eat the whole plate, Tobi jumped up on the table and tried to steal my spaghetti!

Ugh not a good day. Somedays are worse than others especially when I have to go into work. I wonder if it has to do with being bored at work and running to the vending machine to have something to do. After work I had to run to the mall and return something I succumbed to having Chic Fil A. At least I got smaller portions and a diet drink.

I was hoping to walk but I was tired when I got home.

Four starchy sides with one meal does sound like a lot but they wouldn't have been a problem if you hadn't spend so many calories on drinks. It doesn't say how many were in the beer and cocktails but between them and the coffee, juice, and cherry coke it must've been around a 1000?

I updated the entry. Drinks alone were 1220 and about half of that was alcoholic drinks.
