Weight Loss Is Like A Heartbeat

If I could pick one single thing that I would want anyone embarking on a weight loss journey to understand, it would be that weight loss is like a heartbeat. Your daily weight will go up and down and up and down, even when you're doing everything right. We all wish this were not true. We want the weight loss journey to look like this: That's at least what I wanted. I really wanted to lose a pound a day. And I wanted it to be a straight line down. I didn't want to have any "up days" on the scale. In the beginning, I thought that any time the scale went up, that meant I had failed the day before. Any time the scale went down, I had done the right thing. This was wrong, and if I had kept thinking this way, I'd probably still be obese.

My "I've Had Enough Moment"

The date is March 24, 2014. I'm on my bathroom floor, alone, crying my eyes out, but silently so that my kids and husband won't hear from the living room. I feel angry and embarrassed and fed up. The worst thought I've ever had crosses my mind: Maybe they'd all be better off without me. I'm in the midst of my "I've Had Enough Moment." It was my all-time low point. How did I, a happily married mother of three beautiful kids, get here?

2014: The Year I Spent Floundering On The Weight Loss Journey (Or Why Measuring and Photos Are Poor Substitutes For Weighing)

[caption id="attachment_2909" width="544"] Far left: Me a day or two after my I've had enough moment. Middle: Me after almost a year of consistently measuring with a tape measure and taking progress photos. Right: Me after weighing daily and reaching my goal weight at the end of 2016. In March 2014, when I had my "I've had enough moment," I made a decision that I was going to start holding myself accountable for my weight. First, I would take weekly progress photos of myself. Since it was being tagged in Facebook photos that had brought on the "I've had enough moment," I figured taking photos was a way to guard myself against having a unpleasant surprise like that in the future.

The Best Intermittent Fasting Window For Weight Loss

[caption id="attachment_2896" align="alignnone" width="900"] Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay The way intermittent fasting works is that it makes it easier to eat less food so that your body can lose weight. There’s no magic thing that happens if you practice a 6-hour eating window instead of an 8-hour one. If you eat too much food in either one, you’ll gain weight. It’s the amount of food you eat that counts. You can even gain weight eating OMAD (one meal a day) if you consume too much food at that one meal. Conversely, if you eat less than your body requires in a 12-hour eating window, you’ll lose weight.
