Well said.

Now, on the gain. Hopefully most of it is water-I'd be surprised if it isn't. Stay low carb for the next few days and really push the water! Maybe take some potassium to help regulate your water retention...

You coworkers will be less negative of low carb when they see your health improve. My coworkers are asking me how this way of eating works, now that I have lost some weight.

Don't beat yourself up. Call it a lesson and dust yourself off. You aren't in a race-take your time and get to know what your triggers are.
