My 63-day gap ended and the trendline surprised me

I restarted after a 63-day gap—not two months exactly, per my log. I expected the first week back to look like my original week one: appetite roaring, daily weights bouncing 2+ lb. Instead my 7-day median came in 3.4 lb above my pre-gap low, and by day six it had dropped 1.1 lb. I’m not calling that a win yet; n=6 and I slept badly twice. What I’m tracking: protein grams (target 120), water, steps, waist at navel, and how often I think about food between meals. The weird part: the mental chatter came back before the physical hunger did. Anyone else see a gap reset their trendline without resetting the mental noise? I’m trying to decide whether to compare restart week to my old baseline or build a fresh one.
