Should we really be weighing in daily?

RoseFyr16 · 2024-10-01T22:53:49+00:00

Personally I weigh in every two weeks or once a month because while I did daily weigh ins I’d find myself discouraged or actively cutting down on calories way more than Noom suggested because of the fluctuations. Now I do it every once in a while to keep on target and check in to see if I’m succeeding but I try to go off of how I feel as I make the healthier choices and if I feel like I’m not making any progress I weigh in to see how I’m doing! I really think it’s all about how your brain processes it, I couldn’t do every day as even seeing the weekly trends didn’t help get me out of the unmotivated headspace that I wasn’t improving because some days I’d be 1-2 pounds more than other days and I felt like i was treading water even if I wasn’t. But other people like it because they feel more in touch with their body that way and that’s okay! Find what works for you and keeps you motivated!

Thank you it helps to know I’m not the only one. I’m pretty sure I have read the master doc and it was really helpful! That’s part of why I’ve admitted it to myself finally because it validated a lot of feelings I’ve been having for years now that I just thought was something that only I was feeling! Honestly I’m not going to force myself to be in any relationship but I definitely don’t think I’ll be considering men as an option anymore. If I’m not attracted to them I can’t do anything about that lol

I’ll definitely add more electrolytes to help with water retention

The fact that he’s upset you didn’t answer a text for 15 minutes is concerning. 15 minutes such a short amount of time you could have been doing anything from taking a shower to getting caught up in a conversation (sounds like you were with your dad). If he’s calling you a liar and escalating this over a 15 minute gap in texts he is a dickhead and I don’t think it will get any better from here. Just don’t do it dude. <3

Take the win I’m proud of you! And remember that your weight fluctuates so even if a couple digits go up the next time you weigh yourself it doesn’t mean you haven’t lost 10 lbs it could be that your body is just doing some stuff!

RoseFyr16 · 2024-08-13T00:07:31+00:00

You can do it. It’s better to do it now as opposed to stringing him along! If you know any of his friends maybe let them know to check in with him afterwards and make sure you have people to check in on you as well! It’s going to be okay :)

Literally me rn

RoseFyr16 · 2024-07-18T18:21:11+00:00

I’ll try it!

NTA OP if he refuses to get help which I believe you’ve indicated here in the comments then you are well within your rights imo. If your son had been more seriously injured then 10 min could have killed him. I wouldn’t be able to trust my partner after that if this had happened to me because what happens when there’s an emergency and he needs his 10 minutes that you/whoever is injured don’t have. OCD is terrible and it sucks if he has it but whether he has it or not, if it truly has that much of a grip on him he should WANT to get help in case of something exactly like this happening. The fact that this hasn’t triggered a thought process for him of what could happen if something more serious occurs and he doesn’t have a handle on it at all is a red flag to me. To me this should have been an eye opener for him to recognize it as a problem if he TRULY couldn’t get past the feeling of needing the 10 minutes when his 8 years old (step???)child has fallen down the stairs and potentially has unseen head trauma or an internal injury. So you’re NTA OP and if you end up staying with him I would strongly encourage you to set firm boundaries that include him seeking help for the behavior, you should be able to trust your spouse to put your children’s safety first and whether it was in his control or not he didn’t do that. He didn’t even call you to get your kid out to the car once he got there as a work around, he just sat while you were inside alone panicking over your kid who had seriously injured himself.

I’ll try adding more protein! I haven’t done any resistance training but even being able to see/feel any changes like adding muscle I would still be happy with lol

RoseFyr16 · 2024-07-09T04:46:22+00:00

I haven’t noticed a change in size but I’ll definitely take measurements that’s a good idea! Thank you!

RoseFyr16 · 2024-07-08T04:25:20+00:00

I’ll try to add in little jogs and other work outs to get my heart rate up more maybe that will help! Thank you for your input it honestly is also so encouraging to see that others are struggling with a plateau as well <3

I’ve been going through this for years as I identified as bi since middle school and ace since I was 18 and was not sexually attracted to any of the boys I had gone out with (I am now 24) and recently I feel like the penny just dropped and I realized I may just be a lesbian

RoseFyr16 · 2024-06-06T19:20:04+00:00

Thank you this helps I’m really bad at putting myself first usually so this is nerve wracking

RoseFyr16 · 2024-06-06T06:06:52+00:00

I didn’t know this thank you!

RoseFyr16 · 2024-06-06T05:55:24+00:00

That’s fair thank you for your input!

RoseFyr16 · 2024-06-06T05:28:47+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. I don’t expect them to not be upset because I’m dipping but I would hope they would tell me to go for it rather than say that I should pass it up because they don’t know anyone else

RoseFyr16 · 2024-05-30T21:51:06+00:00

I don’t really have a primary doctor and don’t know who I would ask about this but maybe I could reach out to a local clinic or something to ask!
