I need to put this out there, somewhere, and am hoping that someone recognises the phenomenon from their own experience, I mean, it's less weird if other people are similarly weird. Or something like that that makes sense :grin
Anyway ...
I've lost a lot of weight so far doing low carb and increased exercise. This is good. I still have a few kg I'd like to shift but I don't think it's very urgent at this point, but I want to keep going to hit my various, self imposed, targets.
For the last couple of weeks, despite me eating sensibly, my weight has been pretty much solidly the same. I weigh every morning and the scales haven't budged. Yesterday I had an EAT ALL THE THINGS!!! day. I mean, if I had ever seriously done yoga I'd have been tempted by my own leg! I ate more calories, and more carbs, than I have for ages. I was hungry, which is unusual these days with low carb. This morning - scales down my 0.3kg.
It's as though my body is hanging on ... hanging on ... hanging on ... to the fat. Then tries to get me to eat more to make more, then it just gives in. I mean I know this is a pattern, I'm used to it, but blimey it's irritating.
Why can't we just have a well tuned machine that does predictable things, good input, good results. It would be so much more sensible.
And end rant ... thank you for listening.
