Weight fluctuations, especially the ones that go UP make me want to give up. I'll go for weeks around the same weight and I keep thinking it's a plateau. It gets so frustrating and I always think I'm doing something wrong. But I'm also learning that weight loss isn't a ski slope, it's more like a flight of stairs. The body adjusts to changes and it's a slow process.
I'm learning how to eat, how to exercise, how to listen to my body, not to compare myself to others, and most of all to be patient.
I read yesterday that vigorous exercise can cause the body to store glycogen in response to inflammation, along with water, so that whenever we do a lot of exercising weight sometimes goes UP rather than down (crazy!) until the body lets go of that water. I'm just writing this so I can look back later and remind myself.
I started at 167 in September. It's now March and I'm at 143. My goal is 125. It's slow going, but steady with ups and downs, which is normal.
I used to think I could lose 5-10 pounds a month. Now I know better. Slow and healthy is the way to go.
