I keep catching myself cheering for other people's trend lines

I weigh every morning, log it, and then mostly ignore it until the weekly average updates. My last ten readings bounced between 181.4 and 182.1 after a salty dinner and two late nights, but the 21-day line still slid down 0.3 lb.

That gap between the dots and the line is the whole game for me. Lately I've noticed I don't really push a specific med on anyone; I push the habit of waiting for the average before deciding the sky is falling.

A friend texted me in a panic over a 1.5 lb jump, and I sent her my boring flat-ish chart. She laughed and calmed down. So maybe I'm a trend-line missionary, not a substance one.

Anyone else catch themselves doing this?
