Started reta in mid-January at 128 kg. The first stretch was almost comical — 4.5 kg gone in nine days, and I know most of that was water. Since then? Nineteen days of the exact same number staring back at me. Same food, roughly 1900 calories logged, swimming Tuesdays and Saturdays. I'm not spiraling, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't opening the app like it owes me an explanation.
What's keeping me from losing it: a measuring tape. Waist is down 3 cm since the scale quit talking, and I'm sleeping better than I have in years. Appetite is still quiet, which honestly matters more to me than the reading. I keep reminding myself the scale is the last thing to move, not the first.
Not after a pep talk. Mostly wondering how long your first real standoff lasted, and whether you changed anything or just waited it out.
