We all know it. Anyone who's been on a weight loss journey knows that the scale is going to bounce up on the way down. It used to drive me crazy! Even though I've googled the hundreds of reasons that your weight fluctuates on a daily basis, I would feel so defeated when I stepped on the scale and my number had gone up from the day before. Even if I had exercised, even if I stayed under/at my daily calories, I would take it as a personal failure that I must have done something wrong or CICO science was failing me and my mood would be off for the rest of the day.
Then a few weeks ago after looking back at my weight loss chart for the past three months, I finally saw it. I would have these dips of weight loss followed by little spikes weight gain, but the overall trend was still going down. And that's the most important part! And while I still feel a bit of disappointment when I go up .3lb from the day before, I just remember my chart. I prepare for the fact that I'm starting another upswing, keep to my program, and ride it out until the scale starts going down again. Because I know it will.
No one's weight loss goes down, down, down consistently until they hit their GW. I just picture it like a river, as cliche as that sounds. The river might bend in a way that feels like it's taking you farther away from your destination, but you have to take that turn to ultimately get where you're going. When the scale goes up, it's not a setback. It means I'm one step closer to it going back down.
