Not to dis on your friend, but that's just not how this works. The ski slope chart itself may be about what your weight loss looks like for many people, but I promise you, you are losing fat the entire time. You just can't overcome basic physics.

Thanks for the detailed reply.

It makes perfect sense that the loss is going on in spite of the lack of movement on the scales. My Dietician said the same to me yesterday at our first post surgery apt last night.

I don't agree with the "don't weigh everyday" mantra myself. It would be no less disappointing or frustrating to find out after a week the scales haven't moved. for me it would be far worse!!

YMMV of course.

I think so long as you have a handle on how you may react if those scales don't budge or go up, then it is entirely up to you how and when you weigh yourself.

I am in the same boat as you in terms of ADHD brain telling me I need to weigh everyday, but it is having quite a negative effect on me at present! The scales just haven't moved (apart from up 2lbs and then back down those same 2lbs) for about 1.5 weeks now. My surgeon hates scales, and has told me just to throw them out as the number is unimportant 🤣 I am actually trying to get my partner to hide them from me so I only weigh myself 1-2 times a month...lets hope that works!

Yeah, it's not easy is it!

I am trying to think of it as a learning experience, as in I am learning about what's going on with my body. Yes the numbers are disappointing for sure, but I want to be present for the process, the good, the bad and hopefully the not too ugly 😂

It's all part of this experience.

Maybe hiding the scales will work for you, I know it wouldn't for me, but we're all different. 🤗

I hope you find peace with the scale.monster!! I hope I do too lol!!
