I almost blamed my pen before I counted my Saturdays

I’m back after losing 35 lbs, regaining 20, and starting over with a GLP-1. For three weeks the scale sat still and I was sure my dose was the issue. Then I pulled up my food notes and saw the shape of it: I log Monday through Friday like a saint, but Saturday and Sunday are mostly blank except for dinner. One weekend I actually wrote everything down—coffee, two eggs, the crusts I ate off my kid’s sandwich, the “small” bakery roll with butter, handfuls while cooking, a late bowl of cereal. It wasn’t a mystery. It was unlogged food, and it added up fast. I’m not saying anything dramatic about anyone else’s body. I just know I was ready to blame the wrong thing. This week I’m tracking the weekends without judging them, and the scale finally moved a little. Anyone else find their “problem” was hiding on the days they didn’t write down?
