Rapid Weight Loss, what am I?
I came up with a new puzzle taken from every day life. See if you can figure it out!
Look at me, plain as can be.
Now leave me be, don't disturb me!
Over time, it's hard to say.
I gain weight
Not in a bad way.
Now go see me, inspect me every which way.
You will find, in no small way
All that extra weight is gone today.
No Hooray
What am I?

Are you
a towel?
Because
towels can be plain
they gain weight when used, but not in a bad way
the next day they weigh less because the water evaporated

Good guess, but that isn't it. This thing loses weight much faster, as you see after the inspection.

You could be
a tree.
Because
Trees gain weight over time as they grow leaves and fruit, then lose it all quickly when they drop their leaves in the fall (all over my yard ...........)
