The weight-loss commercials keep catching me off guard

I lost 61 lbs in 2022, then life got loud and I gave back 27 of it. I restarted with my doctor in late February, and most days I’m steady: protein shake before work, walk at lunch, no grazing while I cook dinner. What’s throwing me is the ad breaks. I’m trying to watch the morning weather and suddenly there’s a montge of someone’s before-and-after, set to piano music. It makes my own restart feel like a product launch instead of a messy human thing. I know it’s just marketing, but it pokes at the part of me that’s scared I’ll quit again. Last night I made a list of three things that have nothing to do with the scale: slept 7 hours, took my vitamins, texted a friend instead of snacking. Anyone else get twitchy when this stuff shows up between the weather and the traffic?
