The difference between counting calories and watching calories

This is my first time trying to link photos so let me know if I bombed.

I see a lot of posts about “watching” calories or estimating calories and being stuck in a plateau. I understand for some people, counting calories isn’t an option because of the obsessiveness or potential as an ED trigger. This post isn’t for you.

But for the people stuck and frustrated I want you to check out this chart:

This is my weight loss graph in happy scale, I had to do 2 images to get it the part I wanted to share. The steep curves at the beginning and end, those are counting calories. Reallllly counting. That middle flat part that even bumps up a little? That’s “oh I’ve got this I don’t need to count I can estimate”. I really thought I was eating the same food and would continue to lose. If you look at the dates on the top, it was 2 months I was stuck in that.

For me that time wasn’t a total loss, I learned cycling maintaining and losing works really well for my body and mind and I plan to continue doing it intentionally.

But if you’re stuck and estimating or leaving off “a few things”, so was I.

Just hoping the visual helps somebody!
