She stepped off the scale, disappointed. Even though she had lost weight it did not feel like a victory. Everything she achieved, every pound she lost, every "new" number on the scale she had seen before. So it was as much a reminder of her failure as it was a confirmation of her achievement this week

This post reminds me of an article on the same topic: https://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/everything-you-know-about-obesity-is-wrong/ Your story is the norm -- most people experience re-gain plus some after any weight loss due to restrictive dieting.

I have been in your shoes here and it's the absolute worst.

This captures the pain and frustration of dieting so well! I especially liked the first paragraph, with every "new" number also being a reminder of failure.

First off, icon twins!! :)

Ugh, weight loss. I hate the cycle but feed into it constantly. Very well written.

Aha! Great minds think alike : ) I too went in the same direction and this resonated with me a lot as I was reading it. It's tough when your body is the one acting against you. Good to see you back. Looking forward to reading you <3 Cheers!
