For eleven days the scale handed me the same number with tiny wobbles, and I wanted to stop writing it down. Nothing to celebrate, nothing to fix. But I kept ticking my little box each morning: sleep, water, whether I actually measured the granola or just eyeballed it.
Looking back, those ticks are the only reason I know what happened. I was tasting soups and sauces all afternoon and calling it "just a bite," then eating a regular dinner at home. The number wasn't frozen because my body gave up. It was frozen because my afternoon spoons added up to a whole meal.
Two weeks later things shifted again, slowly. Would I have caught it without the boring entries? Probably not — I'd have blamed my age or my prescription and changed nothing.
So I'm curious. When the scale is flat, do you keep logging anyway, or do you give yourself a break and pick it back up later? And if you do keep going, what's the smallest thing you bother tracking — just the weight, or something like portions and tastes?
