Tomatoes?

Gaining and losing a few pounds in a couple of days is water
retention, not a true weight issue. Did you put a lot of salt on the
tomatoes and cucumbers? Obviously, you didn't eat 8000 calories of
tomatoes and work it off the next day.

If you were working in the garden, you might have merely puffed up
some water retention from the heat. A lot of people mention
inexplicably retaining water in hot weather.

So, after doing so well and getting down to 132.5 I had my first scare with
what I think may have been water retention. I'm not sure - I think I need
somebody to clarify what happened to me.
I don't think I've had a tomato in months (I go through food phases), but a
few days ago I noticed 2 red tomatoes in the garden, so I ended up having
tomato/cucumber salad for lunch two days in a row. Since I'm stil trying to
figure out what affects my weight I'm still weighing myself in the morning
and night for a bit. I've been eating what I normally eat - the only thing
that is different is the tomatoes. Weight shoots up to 135 yesterday
morning. Of course I freak out and a pox on all tomatoes!
Obviously, I'd still like to eat tomatoes. I read the whole "Fasting
Challenge" thread which quickly turned into the tomato thread and everybody
seems to hold tomatoes in such high regard.
I'm back down to 132.5 today - but I need to know how I should approach this
whole tomato situation. I find it hard to accept that I just put aside the
tomatoes.
