I gained 2lbs
I'd say instead of beating yourself up, you should congratulate yourself
for catching your "gain" at 2 lbs instead of 20. Also, 2 lbs is hardly a
weight gain since most folks can lose or gain 2-5 lbs in any given day for
a variety of reasons. If you've been doing holiday eating, cut back and
watch things for a week or so. Good luck!

Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
Even if it is two pounds of fat, you can get it back off pretty easily. Increase your protein, water, and physical activity and decrease your simple carbs.
Honestly, if gaining two pounds is this distressing, I would encourage you to seek counseling to work on a more balanced outlook on your weight, because this will definitely NOT be the last time the scale goes up a couple of pounds. Maintaining your weight is going to be a lifelong effort, and you will make yourself miserable if you beat yourself up every time you gain 2 pounds.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
However, two pounds is nothing to beat yourself up over. i can gain two pounds between morning and evening. Weight fluctuates wildly depending on so many things. As long as I stay within a 5 pound range I consider myself fine.
It's when those two pounds continue to trend up that you need to start worrying.
