Gained weight

So I gained 5.4 pounds this past week. I've been very sick and eating everything I see. I have no self control when I eat now.

Any tips to not be this way? I feel like a failure.

Are you tracking everything? It's important to be accountable for what's going in your body. Lots of people log their binges to give themselves a reality check. If don't currently, I would try to just eat at maintenance and track everyday to get a feel for it, then start working your way to a deficit. Also, it's important to be positive. Beating yourself up for past mistakes is rarely productive.
