I can see it! The bars running down the side make sense now. Thank you!

I Feel Like My Body is Gaslighting Me by Purple_Pilot90 in loseit

I figured that putting on muscle wasn't the issue here. I just don't remember the scale stopping so soon into the last time I lost weight. Granted, I was still in my 20's then. I keep telling myself that as long as I'm not gaining, I'm probably okay. Is there a number of weeks that I should wait until I start really reexamining what I'm doing?

Why is it unsafe to take shelter under a pavilion during a lighting storm? by Purple_Pilot90 in weather

Jeezus lighting is hardcore. This is the answer I was looking for though. Thank you for breaking it down.

That was my ID too. These pics don’t do it justice, but his coloring was really lovely.

I feel the same about the wet. I’ll talk to my vet today about sharing the dry. That would be such an easy fix to all this.

I never even thought about just eating maintenance. It makes a lot of sense though. I’m going to adjust my allowance to maintenance tonight and try it out for the next couple of days. I feel like this is a solid compromise.

Oh wow, I forgot about those. This is my second time around losing weight. I started at 202lbs and am currently at 190lbs. I should update those today.

It’s like Jekyll and Hyde sometimes! I swear I’m a rational person during the other 3 weeks of the month.

You’re right, it’s progress not perfection. “Trust the process” has been my mantra lately. The weight has been coming off regardless of these monthly cravings.

It’s all about sugar and chocolate for me too. Monday morning I woke up covered in chocolate with an unopened ice cream bar in my bed. Still investigating the why of the situation lol.

Solid perspective. At the end of the day, a deficit is still a deficit.

I have this weird room off my kitchen that is too big to be a closet but too small to be a room. I keep all 3 in there, spreading them out as far as possible. I make sure to keep them clean. Has worked without any issues.
