I weighed the same today as yesterday. :-( I was hoping my weight would have gone down a little because that would have been positive reinforcement for healthier eating ("don’t go below 1000 calories"). Instead it gives reinforcement to the “don’t eat” voices in my head. Also I’m scared maybe my restricting lowered my metabolism and now I’ll just start gaining weight again!
Intellectually I know there will be variations. Weekends are different and my morning rituals are different so my weighing time and conditions will be different. There are so many variations, even just in the scale itself. I should expect day-to-day variation and I should look at things from a longer term perspective. For example, this past week I lost four and a half pounds.
I’m taking deep breaths and trying not to go to any extremes. Consistency and patience are key to losing weight.
Stay strong!
