Like many, I have a love-hate relationship with the scales and with weighing. I sometimes weigh weekly, have gone longer, successfully, and am currently on daily weighing. I decided to do this when I decided to try calorie shifting. It was part of my plan of being able to observe the scales and learn from the numbers as to what affects my body how.
So here are some numbers. Weights and calories consumed
2/25 210.4 after eating 1969 calories. This was Shrove Tuesday and I tried to give up weighing for Lent, tho changed my mind, so:
3/14 203.5 I was happy with that. Though I've just today averaged the calories and it was average 1339 a day. I thought it was more than that.
Now the daily:
3/15 203.2 after eating 1162
3/16 204.4 after eating 1938
3/17 202.6 after eating 993 and getting food poisoning
3/18 201.4 after eating 834 and getting over food poisoning
3/19 201.0 after eating 1149 and getting better
3/20 201.3 after eating 1333 - eating normally
I expected the bounce on the 16th after eating the 1938 the day before, and was planning to observe how it went after going back to a lower calorie level but the poisoning got in the way.
I know it's silly and obsessional but I am going to have to work really hard today to eat up to the 1300 I'd budgeted (more coming at the weekend) because I'm now really scared that the scale is going to carry on going up.
So all hints and tips and experience to set my mind at rest will be most appreciated. Thankyou.
