Small diary note from my week: I keep a 7-day rolling average for weight, appetite 1-5, and sleep, mostly to keep myself from over-reading single mornings. Monday I still felt fairly indifferent to dinner, but my notes had appetite at 2/5 for three nights in a row.
The scale moved from 184.6 to 184.3 by Friday — not dramatic, but my trendline bent down for the first time this month. What surprised me was the gap between feeling “meh” and the actual data: my step count was up about 1,800/day because I was walking during lunch, and protein averaged 96 g.
I’m mildly contrarian about symptom stories, so I’m not calling it a breakthrough; it looks more like a boring, consistent week finally showing up in the averages. Anyone else see the math improve before your mood about it does?
