What has changed in your lifestyle recently? Have you been working out harder than usual? This could explain the increased appetite and weight gain (muscle bulking up), though the short period of what you are describing seems a bit unrealistic for such changes to occur. A sudden increase in weight is usually attributed to water retention; what we observe on physical examination is leg swelling (edema), which manifests as an indentation that lingers afters having pressed the skin for a few seconds. This could be due to many reasons - it remains necessary that you be seen and examined by a doctor to rule out any underlying disorder, such as a hypo-active thyroid gland (hypothyroidism), which is commonly associated with an increased appetite, weight gain, and water retention.
