I lost 35 lbs a few years ago through CICO. I maintained my weight loss for a few years by weighing myself every once in a while and cutting back if I had gained more than 5-10 lbs. One year ago, I stopped weighing myself and tried to go on 'knowing my body'.
Last week, I weighed myself for the first time thinking I'd maybe gained 15-20 lbs... and found out I've gained an astounding 50 lbs.
I'm shocked because my 'regained' weight is in different places. I still have my skinny face, my visible collarbones, my visible ribs. In my head, it just made no sense that I can be 50 lbs heavier!
Is it common to regain weight but in COMPLETELY different places?
I'm not too sad or anything though - I'm losing weight again (I've lost 6 pounds so far) and am actually enjoying the challenge. I've taken it as a lesson that, for me personally, weighing myself is an important tool for maintaining weight loss because I clearly don't 'know my body' at all, haha!
