[Struggle] regained 6kg over a winter and i am posting it anyway
regained 6kg over a winter and i am posting it anyway. Full detail below, and I have tried to keep the editorialising out of it. Since the title puts numbers in the shop window: 6kg. Wrote down one non-scale thing every week. Reading a year of those back was more affecting than any number. Nobody noticed for months.…
Body weight varies by a couple of kilos day to day through fluid, glycogen and gut content, which is why a single weigh-in is noise and a fortnightly trend is signal.
A goal weight chosen before starting is a prediction made with the least information you will ever have. Revising it is ordinary rather than a failure.
Gently disagree with the framing — that is not a plateau, that is a month. They are different things.
What are you actually celebrating today? Genuine question.
Push back on the goal number. You chose it before you knew what any of this felt like.
