It's the trend I worry about.

Yes, it taken me awhile to learn my body but as time goes on I’m able to see what patterns work for my genetic makeup and which don’t. Some are easier to pinpoint than others. Like I know I can’t have more than cup of coffee a day and that artificial sweeteners mess with my body and mood. Also switching up my foods can help move the scale. Like I can eat the same thing for breakfast for a week, but then the following week I need to do something different. I can occasionally eat pasta but no more than once every 2 weeks. It’s interesting when you start noticing these patterns how you can almost predict the number on the scale and it was helpful (for me) to not weigh every day but every few days instead.
