The number on the scale is just one vote

I weigh every morning, log it, and then try to leave the single number alone. Thirty weeks in, I’m down 39 pounds, but the day-to-day line is still full of static.

This week I had a salty dinner and woke up 2.1 pounds heavier. Old me would have spiraled; current me opened the chart, saw my 10-day median still easing downward, and went to make coffee.

The daily weigh-in isn’t a report card, it’s just one data point in a loud room. What helps you stay calm when the scale gets mouthy?
