my flatline moved after i stopped gaming with soda nearby

late hours gamer here. my loss went flat for like 19 days, which felt huge because i weigh most mornings and the trendline just drew a sad little shelf. i kept doing my usual soda-swap experiments: diet cola, zero-sugar energy stuff, sparkling water. calories weren’t the issue. what actually shifted things was boring as hell: i moved my last caffeine drink to around 5:30pm, set a hard stop on ranked at 1am, and kept a shaker of chocolate protein in the fridge for after raids instead of dry cereal straight from the box. not magic, but over the next 8 days the line tilted down about 2.4 lbs. i think my sleep was trash and the 1am cereal habit was doing more damage than the soda ever did. anyone else find the thing that helped wasn’t food at all, just a weird schedule tweak?
