Don't worry, I'm sure you didn't really. Each pound is 3, 500 calories, and for you to gain even 1 pound you would have had to eat 3, 500 calories ABOVE your body's needed caloric intake. So at the MOST you probably gained a pound. If you ate a lot of junk food, the weight that you're seeing on the scale or feeling is from all of the sodium, which makes you retain water and weigh more. Also, if you ate poorly yesterday, eat really well today, and a lot of times that actually helps your body LOSE weight, because it messes your body up a little bit and you won't plateau at a certain weight.
Good luck and don't worry, you didn't gain 5 pounds, it's basically humanly impossible. (unless you ate like 1, 000 big macs and 1, 000 cakes)
